Equipment
- piping bag
- melon baller
Ingredients
- 24 Large Strawberries
- 1/2 cup Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
- 8 oz Dairy Free Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/3 cup Dairy Free Graham Cracker Crumbs
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries and pat them completely dry. Slice off the stem end of each berry to create a flat top, and trim a thin slice from the pointed end so it can stand upright. Use a small spoon or melon baller to hollow out the center of each strawberry from the top, leaving the walls intact.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip the bottom 1/2 inch of each strawberry into the chocolate and stand it upright on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 10 minutes until the chocolate is set.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and salt for 1-2 minutes until smooth and fluffy. If the filling feels too soft to pipe, chill it for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe a generous swirl into each strawberry, mounding it above the top.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the filling.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed the same day they are made.
