Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Dairy Free
Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners. This will help you easily remove the chocolate peanut butter cups once they are set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
- Once melted, carefully spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner. Use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate evenly across the bottom, creating a thin layer. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
- While the first layer of chocolate is setting, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- After the chocolate layer has hardened, remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto the hardened chocolate layer in each cup. Gently spread it to create an even layer.
- Next, take the remaining melted chocolate and drizzle or spoon it over the peanut butter layer in each cup. Make sure to cover the peanut butter completely with chocolate, using about 1 tablespoon of chocolate for each cup.
- Once all cups are assembled, return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- After the chocolate has hardened, remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Carefully peel away the paper liners from the cups. Your Chocolate PB Cups are now ready to enjoy!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free chocolate peanut butter cups!
Tips
- Ingredient Prep: Ensure all your ingredients, especially the peanut butter, are at room temperature. This will make mixing and spreading much easier.
- Microwave Melting: When melting the chocolate chips, be patient and use 30-second intervals. Stirring in between helps prevent scorching and ensures a smooth consistency.
- Layering Chocolate: For a perfect chocolate base, make sure to spread the melted chocolate evenly across the bottom of each muffin liner. This will give your cups a solid foundation.
- Freezing Time: Don’t rush the freezing process! Allow the chocolate to set completely before adding the peanut butter layer to prevent mixing.
- Peanut Butter Filling: For an extra touch, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the peanut butter mixture for a delightful sweet and salty contrast.
- Storage: Keep your Chocolate PB Cups in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain their freshness. They can last up to a week, but trust us, they won’t last that long!
