Bombs of strawberries

Bombs of strawberries

Ingredients

Regarding the Filling:

  1. 8 ounces of softened cream cheese
  2. Half a cup of powdered sugar
  3. One teaspoon of vanilla extract
  4. 1/4 cup optional graham cracker crumbs for texture

Regarding the Coating:

  • Eight ounces of chocolate chips (white, dark, or milk chocolate)
  • For a smoother chocolate coating, you can add one tablespoon of coconut oil.

As an optional garnish:

  • Extra crumbs from graham crackers
  • Sprinkles or chopped nuts

Directions

Get the strawberries ready:

  • After washing, use a paper towel to pat the strawberries dry.
  • Using a straw or a small paring knife, remove the stems from each strawberry and hollow out a small bit of the inside. Take care to avoid shattering the strawberries.

Prepare the filling.

  • Using an electric mixer, whip the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until it’s smooth.
  • Mix thoroughly after adding the vanilla essence and powdered sugar. For added texture, mix in the graham cracker crumbs, if using.

Place the Strawberries inside:

  • Fill each hollowed strawberry with the cream cheese mixture using a tiny spoon or a piping bag. Give them a lot of filler to produce a “bomb” effect.

Get the chocolate coating ready by:

  • Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a bowl that is safe to use in the microwave.
  • Microwave the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until it is smooth and completely melted.

Wrap the Strawberries in coats:

  • Make sure to completely coat each stuffed strawberry by dipping it into the melted chocolate. Let the extra chocolate fall off.
  • Arrange the chocolate-covered strawberries on a baking sheet covered with paper.

Optional garnish:

  • Add more graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for decorating on top before the chocolate sets.

Calm down:

  • To solidify the chocolate, put the baking sheet in the fridge for about half an hour.

Serve:

  • When the strawberry bombs are set, move them to a dish and dig in!

Advice

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to two days in an airtight container. It’s better to eat the strawberries fresh because they may lose moisture over time.
  • Variations: Feel free to try with different fillings, like flavored cream cheese spreads, whipped cream cheese, or Nutella.
  • Alternatives for Dipping: For a festive look, you can alternatively dip the strawberries in colored candy melts or white chocolate.

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, these strawberry bombs are a tasty and cool delicacy that will wow your loved ones! Have fun!
