White Chocolate Strawberry Cheerios Cups Recipe

I have to tell you, making these White Chocolate Strawberry Cheerios Cups was such a fun and easy treat to whip up! I love recipes that don’t require baking but still feel indulgent, and this one hits the mark perfectly. The combination of crunchy Cheerios, sweet white chocolate, and fresh strawberries just melts in your mouth.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups Cheerios cereals – I like using the classic version; it holds its crunch well without getting soggy.
  • 12 oz. white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate – Chips are convenient but chopped chocolate melts more smoothly.
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil – This helps the chocolate stay creamy and makes the mixture easier to mold.
  • 1 cup 5–6 oz. diced fresh strawberries – Fresh strawberries give the best flavor; frozen can add too much moisture.

Method
 

  1. First, wash and dice the strawberries into small pieces. This makes sure every bite has a burst of juicy flavor. Set them aside while you prepare the chocolate mixture.
  2. In a heavy-bottom saucepan, melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil over low heat. Stir constantly so the mixture becomes smooth and doesn’t burn. The coconut oil will give it a nice, glossy texture.
  3. Once the chocolate is melted, gently fold in the Cheerios cereal until all pieces are coated. Make sure every piece is evenly covered so the cups stick together nicely.
  4. Carefully fold the diced strawberries into the mixture. Be gentle so the berries don’t get squished or release too much juice, which can make the cups soggy.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly into greased silicone molds. Press lightly to shape the tops, but don’t compact too hard—you want them airy and crunchy.
  6. Place the silicone mold in the freezer for at least 15–20 minutes, or until the cups are firm. Once set, pop them out of the molds and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • I always dice strawberries small to prevent moisture from making the cups soggy.
  • I like to melt the chocolate slowly on low heat; rushing it can make it grainy.
  • Freezing for just the right amount of time keeps the cups firm but not icy.
  • I sometimes lightly toast the Cheerios before mixing for a deeper flavor.
