If you’re looking for a simple, delicious chocolate treat that feels fancy but is super easy to make, these Strawberry Cream Chocolates are it!

A smooth strawberry cream center wrapped in rich chocolate — what’s not to love?

Strawberry Cream Chocolates

One of my most memorable jobs was working at a tiny chocolate shop in our small town. It was the kind of place where all the chocolates were made fresh right there, and customers would come in to pick a single treat or build a special gift box. It’s such a warm, nostalgic spot that made me fall even more in love with chocolate.

My absolute favorite treat at the shop was the strawberry cream chocolate — a luscious strawberry center wrapped in smooth, rich chocolate. But oh my, the process to make those beauties was pretty involved and time-consuming!

After years of craving those strawberry cream chocolates, I finally came up with a much simpler recipe that yields an equally tasty treat — and it only takes three ingredients! No fancy tools, no tricky steps. Just real, lovely flavors that remind me of those special chocolates from the shop.

While my homemade version might not be a gourmet candy store replica, they are incredibly delicious and so much easier to make. I love giving these as edible gifts during the holidays — everyone always asks for the recipe!

Tips & Variations

Melting Chocolate. For this recipe, melting your chocolate gently over a double boiler is key. It helps keep the chocolate silky smooth without burning. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Easy and foolproof!

Add Fancy Lines on Top. Want your chocolates to look extra pretty? Right after dipping, run the edge of a fork across the tops three times to create cute, elegant lines. It’s a small step that makes a big impression.

Chocolate Drizzle. Take it a notch further by drizzling some white, milk, or dark chocolate on top. Colored candy melts also work great if you want a festive touch for a special holiday or occasion. It’s fun and adds a pop of color!

Can I Make These In Other Flavors?

Absolutely! While I adore the classic strawberry and dark chocolate combo, you can switch it up easily. Try raspberry frosting with dark chocolate for a bright twist. Or go extra indulgent by mixing dark chocolate frosting for the filling. Seriously, there’s so much fun experimenting with flavors here — just pick what you love!

How to Store homemade chocolates

Keep these homemade strawberry cream chocolates fresh by storing them in the fridge inside an airtight container. If you’re stacking pieces, slip some parchment paper between layers so they don’t stick. They’ll stay perfect in the fridge for up to a week — plenty of time to enjoy or share!

How to give as a gift

I love tucking these chocolates into small boxes or clear bags for gift-giving. They feel special and homemade, yet they hold up beautifully, so you don’t have to worry about them melting or getting messy. Such a sweet and thoughtful gift!

Strawberry Cream Chocolates Ingredients

• Strawberry frosting
• White chocolate chips
• Dark chocolate or milk chocolate

Strawberry Cream Chocolates Directions

Start by prepping a 9×9-inch pan: give it a light spray with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper leaving some extra hanging over the edges. This makes removing the chocolates so much easier later on.

Next, melt your white chocolate chips gently. You can do this over a double boiler (my preferred way for smooth melting) or carefully in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each.

When the white chocolate is melted and smooth, take it off the heat and stir in your strawberry frosting until it’s fully mixed and creamy.

Pour and spread the mixture evenly into your prepared pan. Stick it in the fridge and let it chill for at least 30 minutes — or longer if you want the filling to be nice and firm before cutting.

Once it’s set, lift the strawberry cream layer from the pan using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into one-inch squares – bite-sized pieces are just right!

Melt your dark or milk chocolate over a double boiler — gentle heat will give you that perfect coating shine.

Grab a fork and dip each strawberry cream square into the melted chocolate. Then tap the fork gently against the edge of the bowl to shake off any extra chocolate. This helps keep your chocolates neat and not a gooey mess!

Set the dipped chocolates onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them sit until the chocolate hardens completely. Then, enjoy or package them up for sharing!
