Chocolate and strawberries go together like peanut butter and jelly. It's a combo we can't get enough of. For this no-bake dessert we made edible cups out of chocolate and filled them with a light and airy chocolate mousse for a decadent dessert. Top it off with a strawberry and you have a perfect Valentine's Day dessert.

1 1/2 cups

Directions

1. Step 1Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30 second intervals. Let cool 5 minutes.

3. Step 3Meanwhile, make filling: In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30 second intervals. Let cool slightly.
4. Step 4In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Add about 2 tablespoons of cooled melted chocolate and continue to beat until incorporated. Add remaining melted chocolate and fold in until just combined. Refrigerate 1 hour.
5. Step 5Carefully unwrap chocolate cups from liners. Place mousse into a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and pipe into cups. Garnish with a strawberry slice and refrigerate until ready to serve.
