Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
1 cup dark or milk chocolate, melted
1/2 cup whipped cream
4 tablespoons crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate biscuits
2 tablespoons white chocolate, melted for drizzle
1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother melted chocolate)

Directions

Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop them into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Melt the dark or milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. If desired, stir in coconut oil or butter for a shinier texture.

Spoon a small layer of melted chocolate into the bottom of each dessert cup or serving glass.
Add a layer of chopped strawberries over the chocolate.
Spoon a layer of whipped cream on top of the strawberries. You can use homemade whipped cream or store-bought whipped topping.
Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate biscuits over the whipped cream for a crunchy texture.

Repeat the layers if your cups are large enough, finishing with a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.
Drizzle melted white chocolate over each cup for decoration.
Place the dessert cups in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly and the flavors to combine.
Serve chilled and enjoy.
