Recipe

 

Chocolate-Dream Cupcakes with a crunchy crust

Makes about 9 cupcakes.

 

Ingredients:

 

Chocolate Filling

  • 3/4 cup cashew nuts (soak them overnight, rinse and drain well!)
  • 4 tbsp virgin coconut oil
  • 6 tbsp coconut blossom nectar
  • 1/2 cup oat milk or any other plantbased milk
  • 3 tbsp (raw) cacao powder (unsweetened)
  • 10 g cacao butter
  • pinch vanilla

 

Crust

  • 100 g homemade cinnamon granola or nuts of choice (if you use nuts, also add 1 tsp cinnamon)
  • 60 g dates (pitted and chopped)
  • 40 raw buckwheat hearts

Decoration:

  • Fresh fruits, berries and vegan chocolate of choice

Method:

  1. Start with the filling: melt the cacao butter in a water bath. While you let the cacao butter melt, blend the other ingredients for the chocolate filling in a high-speed blender or a food processor until the ingredients are well combined and you have a very smooth chocolate cream. Add the melted cacao butter and blend some more.
  2. When the chocolate filling is super smooth and creamy, pour the cream into silicon molds. Makes about 9 of them.
  3. Dont fill the molds to the edge, you should leave space for the crust later on.
  4. (Of course, your kids will need to test the batter before they are going into the freezer!)
  5. Hit the molds a few times against the table to get rid of air bubbles. Be careful while you are doing this!
  6. Pop the molds into the freezer for 3 hours or more. Be sure the chocolate filling is frozen when you take them out. * Leave them in the molds!
  7. Time for the crust! Add the 3 ingredients for the crust to the blender and blend until it sticks together well.
  8. It should not be to smooth, because its nice with a crunchiness!
  9. When the chocolate cupcakes are frozen, you can press down some of the crust on each cupcake. Press down thoughtfully and evenly.
  10. Freeze again until set.
  11. Take out the chocolate cupcakes out of the molds, decorate them how you wish (melted vegan chocolate and fresh berries), and let them defrost for 10 minutes before serving!
  12. Enjoy!
  13. (Storage in the freezer)
