Instructions

Take about one teaspoon of melted chocolate and fill one heart of the mold. With the same teaspoon start to spread the chocolate from the center to the sides of the heart cavity. Make sure that all sides are well covered. Continue with the remaining hearts. Once the hearts are covered in chocolate, put the mold in the freezer.
Meanwhile, prepare your strawberry filling by adding the strawberries, dates, and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend for several mins until smooth. The strawberry filling should not be very thick but also not runny.
Now, take the mold out of the freezer and start filling each chocolate-covered heart with about one teaspoon of the strawberry mixture, up to ⅔ of the shape. Tap the mold gently so it can settle. Then, top the hearts with chocolate again until you reach the surface of the mold. Tap again to settle the chocolate, then put in the freezer for 20 mins.
Once your chocolate hearts have chilled, remove from the freezer and un-mold them. Give the sides a tug to help loosen the hearts and push on the underside of each heart mold so they can pop out. Then, carefully lift them and decorate as you want.

Notes

For more visual instructions see the step-by-step pics in the blog post above.

I use a simple teaspoon to cover the heart cavity sides with chocolate but it would be easier if you have a food-safe decorating brush and just paint them.

If your strawberry filling is too thin and runny, you can add one tablespoon of coconut flour or ground chia seeds.
The remaining strawberry jam is more than enough to fill five or maybe more chocolate hearts.
