  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips (dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Filling

  • 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons your favorite jam (raspberry or strawberry recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, to sweeten peanut butter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your molds: Line mini cupcake tins with paper liners or use silicone molds for easy removal once the cups are set. This keeps your treats uniform and mess-free.
  2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt your vegan chocolate chips together with coconut oil until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Build the chocolate base: Spoon a thin layer of melted chocolate at the bottom of each mold, ensuring it coats the base evenly. Place in the fridge and chill for about 10 minutes until hardened.
  4. Add peanut butter and jam: Mix peanut butter with maple syrup if using, then spoon a dollop of peanut butter into each hardened chocolate shell. Top with a small amount of your favorite jam to create the signature sweet layer.
  5. Seal with chocolate: Cover the peanut butter and jam layers with another layer of melted chocolate, making sure the filling is fully sealed inside. Freeze or chill until completely firm, about 30 minutes.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once set, carefully remove the cups from molds. Serve immediately or store for later indulgence.

Notes

  • Use smooth peanut butter for easy spreading and best texture.
  • Chill between layers to keep each layer distinct and prevent blending.
  • Avoid overheating chocolate to maintain silky texture and glossy finish.
  • Choose organic or natural ingredients for richer flavor and health benefits.
  • Work quickly as chocolate can set fast; have all ingredients ready before assembling.
