Servings 7

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cacao/cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 6-7 teaspoons Almond spread Peanut or Cashew Spread
  • Strawberries optional
  • More sea salt
  • Desiccated Coconut optional

Instructions
 

  • Fill sink or very large bowl with hot water. Place your mixing bowl inside the water and add coconut oil. This will help melt the oil and make mixing easier.
  • Add cacao powder, salt and maple syrup. Mixing until smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Arrange 6-7 patty pans inside a tupperware container. Spoon in about a tablespoon of mixture into each patty pan, put on lid and place in freezer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from freezer, and place a teaspoon of nut butter onto each pan. Then cover with another tablespoon of remaining chocolate mixture.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and coconut, and place in freezer for 30min.
  • Serve with strawberries. Store in air-tight container in fridge.

Notes

For a interesting change trying using chocolate moulds instead of patty pans, for mini nut butter cups!
