For the strawberry cream filling

How to Make Strawberry Cream Chocolates Delight Taste Buds

• Prepare the moulds: Clean and dry a silicone chocolate mould. Place it on a flat tray so it can be moved easily once filled.
• Melt the chocolate: Break the milk and dark chocolate into pieces and melt gently over a bain-marie or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
• Form the shells: Spoon melted chocolate into each mould cavity, tilting to coat the sides evenly. Turn upside down briefly to remove excess, then chill for 10 minutes until set.
• Make the filling: Whip the double cream with icing sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold in the chopped strawberries carefully.
• Fill the chocolates: Spoon the strawberry cream into the set chocolate shells, leaving a small gap at the top.
• Seal the tops: Spoon over a little more melted chocolate to seal each piece. Smooth with a palette knife.
• Chill and release: Chill for 20 minutes until fully set, then gently release from the moulds.

Tips

How do I avoid thick chocolate shells?

Remove excess chocolate by tapping and turning the mould upside down briefly. Thin shells give a better balance with the filling.

Can I stop the filling from leaking?

Ensure the first chocolate layer is fully set before adding the cream, and always leave space for sealing with chocolate.

How do I get a glossy finish?

Use good-quality chocolate and avoid overheating it. Gentle melting keeps the shine.
