Every year I can't wait for the strawberry season. I wait for the first, fragrant Polish strawberries to appear at the market, and I can't stop myself from buying them. The price is always very high at first, but I take comfort in the fact that day after day it is lower and lower.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a chocolate-strawberry dessert: yummy, soft chocolate muffins with a creamy strawberry surprise inside. Can anybody resist them?

Ingredients (for 12 muffins)
250g of flour
150g of brown sugar
250ml of milk
60ml of oil
2 teaspoons of baking powder
half a teaspoon of baking soda
half a teaspoon of vanilla essence
150g of thick cream cheese
0.5kg of strawberries
2 tablespoons of caster sugar

Heat the oven up to 180C. Put some paper muffin moulds into the "dimples" of a baking pan for muffins.
Mix together the dry ingredients of the muffins: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa. Mix together the milk, oil and egg in a separate bowl. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix them in. Put the dough into some paper muffin moulds up to 1/2 of their height, and put half of a strawberry onto each one. Add some dough on top. Bake for 23-25 minutes.
Press the rest of the strawberries (leave a couple for decoration) through a fine sieve, to make a mousse without stones. Mix the cream cheese with the strawberries and caster sugar. Put the strawberry cream cheese on the baked muffins and decorate with the rest of the strawberries.

Enjoy your meal!
