Rich chocolate and sweet strawberry flavors combine with a creamy fudge swirl in these bite-sized cups, perfect for parties and special occasions. Easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (or thawed frozen strawberries)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Transfer to a blender or use a hand blender to puree until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  2. Make the Chocolate Shell: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each, until fully melted and glossy. Using a spoon, coat the inside of each mini cupcake liner with the melted chocolate, swirling it around to cover completely. Place the pan in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to set.
  3. Prepare the Fudge Swirl Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until the white chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Let it cool slightly so it’s not too runny.
  4. Combine Fudge and Strawberry Swirl: Gently fold about ¼ cup of the strawberry puree into the fudge mixture to create a swirl effect. Don’t overmix; you want visible streaks of strawberry throughout the fudge for a marbled look.
  5. Fill the Cups: Remove the chocolate shells from the fridge. Spoon the fudge swirl mixture into each chocolate-lined cup, filling nearly to the top but leaving a small gap for the chocolate lid. Use a toothpick or skewer to create extra swirls if desired.
  6. Top with Chocolate: Warm a few tablespoons of the remaining semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil mix. Spoon a thin layer over each cup to seal the fudge inside and create a smooth top. Return the tray to the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  7. Serve: Once set, carefully peel away the liners and arrange the cups on a platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use ripe fresh strawberries for best flavor or thaw and drain frozen berries. For dairy-free version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Avoid overmixing the strawberry puree into the fudge to maintain the swirl effect. Chill each chocolate layer fully before adding the next for best texture and snap.
