Decadent bite‑sized treats featuring creamy vanilla buttercream atop rich chocolate‑covered strawberry balls for a luxurious dessert pop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz milk or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate glaze)

Instructions

  1. Puree strawberries in a food processor until smooth; strain to remove seeds.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
  3. Mix in vanilla, then gradually add powdered sugar until combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in enough strawberry puree to tint and flavor the buttercream (about 1/4–1/3 cup).
  5. Chill buttercream 30 minutes until firm enough to scoop.
  6. Scoop teaspoon‑sized balls, roll smooth, and place on parchment‑lined tray.
  7. Chill balls 15 minutes until set.
  8. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip chilled buttercream balls into melted chocolate, allow excess to drip off, then place back on parchment.
  10. Chill dipped balls until chocolate is set, about 20 minutes.
  11. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for the best natural flavor and color.
  • If buttercream is too soft, add a bit more powdered sugar or chill longer.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • You can drizzle contrasting white chocolate over the top for decoration.
