Instructions

• Begin by hulling the 1/2 cup of strawberries and placing them in a bowl. Add the honey and lemon juice, then mash them lightly with a fork until they are a chunky puree. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
• In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and canned coconut milk. Use a whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy. This mixture will serve as the base for your Chocolate Strawberry Cups.
• Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the coarsely chopped milk chocolate until it is smooth and silky. If using a microwave, heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
• In your cupcake liners or molds, start by adding a layer of the melted chocolate at the bottom. Allow it to set slightly in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
• Once the chocolate layer has set, spoon in a thick layer of the cream cheese mixture on top.
• Next, add a spoonful of the strawberry mixture on top of the cream cheese layer. You can use the quartered strawberries to garnish the top for an extra pop of color and flavor.
• Finish off your cups by drizzling the remaining melted chocolate over the strawberry layer.
• Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow them to set. Once ready, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Enjoy your delightful Chocolate Strawberry Cups!
