Ingredients

Scale

For the Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry extract or freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • Pink or red food coloring (optional)

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

For Rolling (Optional):

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for a crunchy coating)
  • Freeze-dried strawberry crumbles (for extra flavor and decoration)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Strawberry Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract (or freeze-dried strawberry powder).
  2. Stir until a thick dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
  3. If using food coloring, add a drop or two and mix until evenly colored.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 20-30 minutes to firm up.

Step 2: Shape the Bon Bons

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the chilled filling from the refrigerator and scoop out small portions, rolling them into ¾-inch balls.
  3. If desired, roll each ball in granulated sugar for an extra crunchy coating.
  4. Place the bon bons on the prepared baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  2. If the chocolate is too thick, add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.

Step 4: Dip and Coat the Bon Bons

  1. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully lower each chilled bon bon into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly.
  2. Lift the bon bon out, letting excess chocolate drip off, then place it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. If desired, drizzle extra melted chocolate over the top or sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberry crumbles for added flavor and decoration.

Step 5: Set and Serve

  1. Allow the coated bon bons to sit at room temperature until the chocolate firms up, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to speed up the setting process.
  2. Once fully set, transfer the bon bons to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Alternative Coatings: Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer contrast.
  • Storage Tips: Store in the refrigerator for a week or freeze for up to one month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Vegan Option: Replace sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use dairy-free white chocolate.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of lemon zest or a few drops of lemon extract for a subtle citrusy kick.
