Why I Love This Recipe

Some of the best desserts are the ones that only take a few ingredients, and these are a perfect example. They come together in minutes, live in the freezer until you’re ready for one, and taste like a fancy chocolate-covered strawberry in bite-sized form. I always like having a batch on hand for an easy sweet treat.

Enjoying The Leftovers

These are made to be enjoyed straight from the freezer, so they’re perfect for grabbing whenever you’re craving something sweet. The chocolate stays crisp while the strawberry center softens just enough for the perfect bite.

Storing

Store the chocolate strawberry jam cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you’re stacking them, place a piece of parchment paper between the layers to keep them from sticking together.

When you’re ready to eat

Let the cups sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before eating so the strawberry filling softens slightly while the chocolate stays perfectly crisp. They’re delicious on their own or served alongside fresh strawberries for an extra-special dessert.

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini cupcake liners. Spoon a thin layer of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cup.
  • Add a small spoonful of finely diced fresh strawberries to each, then top with about 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam.
  • Gently press the strawberry and jam filling down slightly to create an even layer.
  • Pour the remaining melted chocolate over each cup, making sure the filling is completely covered on the top and around the sides.
  • Place the tin in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
  • Once frozen, transfer the cups to an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Enjoy straight from the freezer or let sit for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating.
