Strawberry Bombs sound like a fun, fruity treat! They’re usually made by stuffing strawberries with something creamy and delicious, then coating them in a chocolate shell or something equally indulgent. Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Strawberry Bombs you can try:
Strawberry Bombs
Ingredients:
- 12 large fresh strawberries (with the tops still on)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (or more if you like!)
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for a cheesecake flavor)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white chocolate, your choice)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (to help melt the chocolate)
Instructions:
-
Prep the strawberries: Wash the strawberries and pat them dry. Carefully core the strawberries using a small knife or a strawberry huller, leaving the bottom intact (so you can stuff them). Make a small hollow inside each strawberry.
-
Make the filling: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. If you want to add a little cheesecake flavor, you can also mix in the crushed graham crackers here.
-
Stuff the strawberries: Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill each strawberry with the cream cheese mixture. You can stuff them as much as you like, but leave a little room at the top to add some mini chocolate chips for extra crunch.
-
Dip in chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips (and coconut oil or butter) in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Once melted, dip each stuffed strawberry into the chocolate, coating it completely. Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment-lined tray.
-
Add the finishing touch: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the dipped strawberries or crushed graham crackers (for a cheesecake-style bite). You can also drizzle more chocolate over the top for an extra treat!
-
Chill: Place the strawberries in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
-
Serve: Once the chocolate has set, your strawberry bombs are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them chilled for a refreshing, sweet treat.
Tips:
- Variation: For an extra fun twist, you can stuff them with Nutella or whipped cream instead of the cream cheese mixture.
- Decorating: You could even roll the chocolate-covered strawberries in crushed nuts or sprinkles for added flavor and texture.
- Storage: These can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days, but they’re best enjoyed fresh!
Strawberry Bombs are a perfect party treat or a fun way to enjoy fresh strawberries with a sweet, creamy twist!
