Ingredients
  • 6 Tbsp raw cacao powder
  • ¾ cup coconut oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp raw almond butter
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt
  • Optional: 8 drops of liquid stevia or 1 tsp honey/maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Measure out almond butter and mix with sea salt and optional sweetener (no stevia or sweetener if following the 21 DSD).
  2. Place in the freezer while you prep the chocolate. Slightly hardened almond butter works better than room temperature because it stays in place to ensure it does not leak out the sides.
  3. In a pot or microwave melt coconut oil.
  4. Mix in raw cacao powder and vanilla extract (I like to mix everything in a large pourable measuring cup).
  5. Pour half the mixture evenly into a silicone mold or parchment lined cupcake pan.
  6. Place in freeze to set for about 5 min.
  7. Place even scoops of almond butter in the center of each cup.
  8. Place in the freezer to set about 5 min.
  9. Tip: To keep chocolate mixture melted while the cups set I like to rest the measuring cup in a bowl of hot water.
  10. Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the cups and ensure all almond butter is covered.
  11. Place in the freezer to set for about 10 min.
  12. Cups can be kept in either the freezer or fridge for a few weeks.
Notes
Use organic whenever possible!
