This recipe is taken from one of the most beautiful cookbooks I have ever received. It is from a friend, Michelle who lives in CA and enjoys great food and great friends around the table. These little “gems” are not only so pretty, but so light and easy to make and delicious. I promise if you make them, they will quickly become one of your family favorites.
2/3 cup cream butter
1 lb bag marshmallows
7 cups Cocoa Krispies
2 cups sliced strawberries
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teas vanilla
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a large pot, melt butter and marshmallows on low. Melt marshmallows until creamy, being careful not to cook them. Fold in Cocoa Krispies. Spray deep muffin tins with cooking spray and fill with the cocoa krispie mixture forming a shell with a hollow center. Place in fridge to cool and set up. Melt chocolate chips in microware, stirring every 30 sec until smooth. Dip the tops of the cocoa cups in melted chocolate. Allow to set up. Whip cream on high until stiff. Beat in sugar and vanilla to taste. Fold in sliced strawberries. Fill cocoa cups with strawberry cream filling. Top with a fresh strawberry. Chill. When ready to serve, let sit for 5 min out of fridge, the cups will soften and be easy to cut when eating.
