These Strawberry Cream Filled Chocolates are a great treat for Valentine's Day.
Made with freeze-dried strawberries for a concentrated sweet strawberry flavor, and sweetened condensed coconut milk for a rich creamy flavor, they are sweet and rich.
They have a rich dark chocolate coating. The center oozes out when you bite into them.
Instead of buying gourmet chocolates for Valentine's Day, make your own! Homemade gifts have a personal touch that you don't get from a store-bought gift.
Other vegan chocolates to try are my Vegan Crunch Bars, Vegan Peanut Butter Cups, and Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups. Another recipe using freeze-dried strawberries is my Vegan Strawberry Oat Milk recipe.

- Made with a strawberry center and dark chocolate coating.
- They make a great gift for Valentine's Day.
🧾 Ingredients
- Freeze-dried strawberries: Add a sweet tart concentrated strawberry flavor. You could also use strawberry jam or fresh strawberries. If you use fresh or frozen strawberries, check out my Cherry Filled Chocolates. They're made with frozen cherries. You could use the instructions for those and switch out the cherries for strawberries.
- Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a sweet, rich, creamy flavor. You could also use sweetened condensed oat milk.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
- Dark chocolate chips: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips. You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.
- Coconut oil: Makes the chocolate smooth and helps it harden. You could leave it out.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Add freeze-dried strawberries, sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 2: Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Place a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan with a couple of inches of water. (If you have a double boiler, use that.) Heat on medium heat.
Step 4: Heat until the chocolate is totally melted.
Step 5: Add coconut oil. Stir.
Step 6: Pour the melted chocolate into cupcake liners or a silicone mold, coating the sides of the liners.
Step 7: Add a spoonful of the strawberry mixture into each liner with chocolate.
Step 8: Top with more chocolate. If you have extra chocolate, you could make a pretty drizzle on top.
💭 Tips
- If you don't have cupcake liners or a silicone mold, you could use an ice cube tray.
- If you have heart-shaped silicone molds, even better. Chocolate heart-shaped chocolate would be a nice touch.
👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
These strawberry cream chocolates will last about a week in an airtight container in the fridge and several months in the freezer. I don't recommend storing them at room temperature because they will melt.
