Vegan Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cups

Fit For Life Physical Therapy

Rebecca Youngs, MS, RD, LD

A perfect sweet treat to end a meal! I like the combination of raspberry and chocolate, but feel free to use strawberry or blueberry preserves. If you can’t find dark cocoa powder, milk chocolate works just as well!

Ingredients

1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp coconut oil

1/2 cup + 1 tsp dark cocoa powder

1 Tbsp maple syrup

3 Tbsp honey

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3 Tbsp. raspberry preserves

Sea salt

Slivered almonds or coconut flakes, optional

 Directions

1. In a saucepan, melt the coconut oil until fluid. Add in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk together at a low temperature. Add in the raspberry preserves and mix.

2. Once combined, ladle the mixture into mini muffin tins.

3. Top with a sprinkle of salt and top with additional toppings like almonds, coconut flakes, or dried fruit.

4. Put into the freezer for at least 5 hours until hardened and set. Serve cold and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
