Strawberries are at their peak of perfection now, so why not showcase them in this easy, no-bake dessert? Chocolate cups are found in the cookie, chocolate or baking section of most supermarkets.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients:
8 oz white chocolate, chopped
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
1 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
2-1/2 cups strawberries
2 tsp granulated sugar
Fresh lemon juice
6 store-bought chocolate cups, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter
Lemon balm or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Preparation instructions:

Melt chocolate with nutmeg in top of double boiler or on low heat in the microwave, stirring occasionally, just until nearly melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely melted. Transfer to large bowl. Stir in lemon rind. Let cool to room temperature.

Whip cream with vanilla until peaks form when beaters are lifted. Stir one-third into cooled chocolate. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

About 15 minutes before serving, slice large strawberries and leave tiny ones whole; place in bowl. Stir in sugar and squeeze of lemon juice; let stand.

Scoop chocolate mixture into chocolate cups. Spoon strawberries and juices over top. Garnish with lemon balm (if using).
