Ingredients
  

For the Cups:
  • 5 ounces milk chocolate coarsely chopped
For the Filling:
  • 1/2 cup strawberries hulled
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk canned
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese fat-free, softened
  • Mint leaves fresh

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Cupcake or muffin tin
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by hulking the fresh strawberries and chopping them into quarters. In a bowl, combine the hulled strawberries, honey, and lemon juice. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Step 2: Make the Chocolate Cups: Using a double boiler or a microwave, melt the coarsely chopped milk chocolate until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to avoid burning. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Form the Cups: Using a cupcake or muffin tin, pour a spoonful of melted chocolate into each cup, ensuring that the chocolate coats the sides evenly. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to spread the chocolate up the sides. Place the tin in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to set.
  4. Step 4: Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and coconut milk until smooth and creamy. Carefully fold in the quartered strawberries. This mixture will be the delightful filling for your chocolate cups.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Cups: Once the chocolate cups have set, remove them from the refrigerator. Spoon the strawberry cream cheese mixture into each chocolate cup, filling them generously.
  6. Step 6: Top and Garnish: Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the top of the filled cups for an extra layer of chocolatey goodness. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
  7. Step 7: Chill and Serve: Return the assembled cups to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up. Once ready, serve chilled and enjoy the delightful flavors of your Chocolate Strawberry Cups!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use vegan cream cheese instead.
  • Dark chocolate can be used for a richer flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
