Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone or paper cupcake liners, ensuring each cup is evenly prepared.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, consistent cookie dough forms.
- Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until completely smooth and glossy.
- Using a small spoon, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on the bottom of each cupcake liner, creating a base layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate base to set and become firm.
- Remove the tin from the refrigerator and scoop a tablespoon of the prepared cookie dough into each chocolate-lined cup, pressing gently to create an even layer.
- Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the cookie dough, ensuring complete coverage and a smooth top surface.
- Tap the muffin tin gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and create an even chocolate layer.
- Return the muffin tin to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour until the cups are completely set and firm.
- Once set, remove the cups from the tin and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better your chocolate and peanut butter, the more delicious your cups will be.
- Ensure chocolate is completely melted and smooth before layering to achieve a glossy finish.
- For a firmer texture, use natural peanut butter with minimal added oils.
- Chill your cups thoroughly—patience is key to achieving the perfect set.
- For variations, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top or using different types of chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Use silicone cupcake liners for easiest removal and a perfect shape.
