Strawberry Hearts Coated in White Chocolate and Dusted with Cocoa
Strawberry Hearts 175g by La Colmena are chocolate-coated sweets made with 57% dried strawberries, covered in white chocolate and dusted with pure cocoa powder. Their distinctive appeal lies in the contrast between the fruity intensity of the strawberries, the creamy sweetness of the white chocolate and the slightly bitter finish of the cocoa. A delicious alternative to traditional chocolates, presented in a convenient 175g tub.
These little heart-shaped treats combine a soft, fruity centre with a smooth chocolate coating that melts gently in the mouth. Their attractive shape and strawberry flavour make them particularly suitable for gifts, sharing or adding to a selection of gourmet sweets.
57% Dried Strawberries at the Heart of Every Chocolate
What makes these sweets distinctive is their generous fruit content. Each chocolate has a dried strawberry centre, with strawberries accounting for 57% of the recipe.
Unlike chocolates that rely solely on strawberry flavourings or strawberry-flavoured creams, these treats contain real fruit at their centre. Drying concentrates the strawberry flavour and creates a texture that contrasts pleasantly with the smooth white chocolate.
The coating provides sweetness and creaminess, while the dusting of pure cocoa powder introduces a slightly bitter note. This combination prevents the white chocolate from dominating and allows the strawberry flavour to remain noticeable.
Heart-Shaped Strawberry Chocolates for Valentine's Day
Thanks to their heart shape, these sweets are particularly suitable for Valentine's Day, anniversaries and romantic gifts. They offer an alternative to conventional boxes of chocolates, combining real fruit with chocolate for something a little different.
The 175g tub provides a convenient presentation without the need for additional gift packaging. It is also practical for sharing after a meal or including in a gift hamper alongside other chocolates and sweet treats.
At Licorea, we find this format particularly appealing for anyone looking for a thoughtful sweet gift that is not limited to Christmas. Although these strawberry hearts work beautifully in festive selections, their presentation makes them suitable for gifting throughout the year.
How to Enjoy Strawberry Hearts
We recommend serving them at a cool room temperature, avoiding excessive heat to preserve the consistency of the white chocolate.
They pair particularly well with coffee, tea or a glass of sparkling wine. They can also accompany sweet Muscat wines or form part of a selection of chocolates, nuts and other small sweet treats.
For an attractive dessert presentation, arrange them in small dishes alongside fresh strawberries or mixed berries. The contrast between fresh fruit and chocolate-coated strawberries creates an appealing combination of textures without requiring an elaborate dessert.
Store the tub in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture, direct sunlight and sources of heat.
