Strawberry Hearts Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Strawberries: Choose firm, sweet and unbruised berries. They need to be as wide as your heart cutter.
- Dark chocolate: A good-quality bar of chocolate that melts well is your best bet.
- Chocolate pearls: Or round sprinkles. Pearls are available on Amazon, but Godiva and Valrhona make similar โpearlsโ. If all else fails, you can even use chocolate chips!
How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Hearts
- Prepare the strawberries: Halve the berries, cut out the hearts with the cutter, and dry the hearts on a paper towel.
- Melt the dark chocolate and pour it into a piping tool or bag. Pipe dark chocolate hearts on parchment paper that are slightly larger than the berry hearts.
- Top the chocolate hearts with the strawberry hearts and press down so the chocolate spreads out.
- Arrange chocolate ball sprinkles in the chocolate surrounding the strawberry. Allow to set.
Possible Variations
- Dark chocolate: Milk, white, or flavored chocolates would all be delicious.
- Strawberries: Swap for cut out watermelon, cantaloupe, kiwi, dragonfruit, apples, pears, or mango.
- Chocolate ball sprinkles: Try red currants, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, heart-shaped sprinkles, or other sprinkles.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep the hearts in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy them within 1 day.
FAQs
You can make them a few hours before serving. Store them covered in the refrigerator.
Use a sharp knife to trim a small v-shape at the top center of the widest part of the strawberry, then cut symmetrically into a heart.
