Instructions

Step 1: Rinse and hull 12 oz fresh strawberries, then puree them with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a blender until smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 2: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth; set aside in the refrigerator.
Step 4: Melt 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tbsp cocoa butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Step 5: Using a spoon, coat the inside of 6 silicone muffin cups evenly with the melted chocolate; refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
Step 6: Fill each chocolate cup with the strawberry mousse, smoothing the tops, then chill them for at least 2 hours before serving to set completely.
