    In food processor, place strawberries and powdered sugar. Cover; process until smooth. Pour mixture into 1-quart saucepan; add softened gelatin. Cook over medium heat, beating with whisk occasionally, until mixture comes to a simmer and gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat; cool 30 minutes.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If premade chocolate cups are unavailable, you can make your own by painting the inside of mini paper cups with tempered chocolate or confectionary chocolate (this kind does not require tempering but is sweeter).
