How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

These chocolates are perfect for a potluck or after-dinner treat—just arrange them on a pretty plate and watch them vanish. They’re also lovely as homemade gifts, tucked into a small box with parchment paper.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for up to two months. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving so the centers soften beautifully.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Fold in crushed strawberries and heavy cream until a thick, spreadable filling forms.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of filling and roll into small balls. Place on the sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
Using a fork, dip each frozen filling ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
Let set at room temperature for 10 minutes, then chill for 15 minutes until firm. Store in the fridge.

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

For an extra pop of color, drizzle a little white chocolate over the tops. These chocolates keep in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
