Velvety strawberry-infused buttercream centers encased in a decadent and snappy chocolate shell, perfect for gifting or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Strawberry Preserves
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 12 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate Melting Wafers
  • 1 tablespoon Freeze-Dried Strawberry Powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, strawberry preserves, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and strawberry powder, mixing until a firm dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes until very firm.
  5. Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  6. Using a fork, dip each chilled buttercream ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  7. Place back on the parchment paper and let set at room temperature for 20 minutes or in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Make sure the centers are frozen before dipping to prevent them from losing their shape in the warm chocolate.
  • If the dough is too soft to roll, chill it for 15 minutes before forming balls.
  • Add a tiny bit of coconut oil to the chocolate if it feels too thick for dipping.
