Strawberries and Filling
- 12 large fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup Nutella
Coating and Garnish
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
- Prepare Strawberries: Remove stems from the strawberries. Using a small paring knife, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry to create a cavity for the filling.
- Fill with Nutella: Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill each hollowed-out strawberry with Nutella, ensuring they are well-stuffed but not overflowing.
- Dip in Chocolate: Insert a toothpick into the side of each strawberry to hold it securely. Hold the strawberry by the toothpick and quickly dip the stem end into melted milk chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
- Garnish and Set: Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-dipped part of the strawberry with chopped hazelnuts. Place the strawberries point-side up on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
- Chill: Remove the toothpicks carefully and refrigerate the strawberries until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.
- Serve: Just before serving, lightly dust the strawberries with confectioners’ sugar for a pretty, sweet finish.
Notes
- Choose large, firm strawberries for easier hollowing and stuffing.
- Use a piping bag with a small tip to fill the strawberries neatly with Nutella.
- Ensure the chocolate is melted but not too hot to avoid melting the strawberries.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
- For a nut-free variation, omit the hazelnuts and use sunflower seed butter or another allergy-friendly spread.
