Ingredients
20 large strawberries: Select ripe, firm berries for the best flavor.
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened: Use full-fat for richness; dairy-free alternatives can work if softened.
1/4 cup powdered sugar: Ensure it’s finely sifted for a smooth filling.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract brings extra depth; imitation works in a pinch.
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips: Ghirardelli or Toll House brands are great options.
2 tablespoons coconut oil: Melting this with the chocolate adds a nice sheen.
Instructions
- Make dough: Mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla. Knead 5 mins until smooth. Let rise 1 hour.
- Make filling: Cook strawberries, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice over medium heat until thickened (5 mins). Cool completely.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces. Flatten each, add 1 tbsp filling, and seal into balls. Place on baking sheet.
- Let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes until golden.
- Brush with melted butter. Cool slightly before drizzling with glaze.
Notes
- For fluffier dough, use bread flour instead of all-purpose
- Can substitute with strawberry jam if fresh strawberries aren’t available
- Add cream cheese to filling for extra richness
- Best served warm, but can be stored airtight for 2 days
