Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Base

  1. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together using a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  2. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mini muffin liner.
  3. Gently tilt the pan or use a spoon to coat the sides, creating a shallow chocolate cup.
  4. Place in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to set.

Step 2: Make the Almond Butter Filling

  1. In a food processor, combine almond butter, dates, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using).
  2. Blend until smooth and sticky. If needed, add 1–2 tsp warm water to help it blend.
  3. Scoop small balls of the filling (about 1 tsp each) and press gently into flattened discs.

Step 3: Assemble the Cups

  1. Once the chocolate shells are firm, place an almond butter disc into each one.
  2. Cover with another spoonful of melted chocolate, smoothing the top.
  3. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle with pink salt, chopped nuts, or rose petals for that elegant, goddess-worthy finish.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20–30 minutes until fully set.
  2. Pop out and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
