Perfectly refreshing, this dessert is a drool-worthy cross between cheesecake and chocolate-covered strawberries.
These Freezer Strawberry Cheesecake bites are filled with mood-boosting antioxidants and creamy cashew coconut. These desserts are uber simple to make, too! You’ll just need a food processor, an ice cube tray, and some simple ingredients to get started. The key is to evenly coat each silicone mold with enough melted chocolate to create a sturdy shell for the cheesecake filling. It’s important to take your time with each step, since you don’t want to make your chocolate shells too brittle. Added coconut oil will help set the filling into place, while also adding plenty of anti-inflammatory benefits.
Start by melting the chocolate chips in a double boiler for five minutes. Use a teaspoon to spoon the chocolate into the mold and use a clean finger to spread evenly throughout. Note: Try not to leave any parts of the tray exposed, since this will result in a brittle shell. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

While the chocolate freezes, combine your ingredients for the filing in a blender. Pulse until smooth and scrape down the sides as necessary. Fill each mold with a layer of filling and place a strawberry slice into the center of each one. Tip: Use small strawberries so that they fit into the molds more easily.
Cover each strawberry with the remaining filling and spoon the melted chocolate on top to coat. Transfer to the freezer for 3-4 hours and then carefully pop each bite out of the molds. Store leftovers in the freezer and thaw to room temperature before serving (about 10 minutes).
