Raw Peanut Butter and Date Chocolate Cups
If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying treat, these Raw Peanut Butter and Date Chocolate Cups are a fantastic choice. They are rich, indulgent, and incredibly easy to make.
- Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons of coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon of date syrup
- 2 Medjool dates, cut into small pieces
- Approximately 10 peanuts, halved or crushed (optional)
- 200g of vegan dark chocolate, melted
To start, melt half of the dark chocolate and pour it into 11-12 paper or reusable cupcake moulds. Place them in the freezer for five minutes or the fridge for ten until set. In another bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut flour, and date syrup, rolling them into small balls. Flatten each ball and add a piece of date in the centre, along with any crushed peanuts if desired. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over each cup, ensuring they are evenly covered. Allow them to set in the fridge for an additional ten minutes. These treats are best served chilled and are sure to disappear quickly!
