Easy chocolate cups with a creamy sweet maca-date-banana carmel filling that goes beyond words! I would love to invite you all t try out this recipe and enjoy these chocolate cups with a cup of tea of coffee. 

Those chocolate cups are without any added sugar, without gluten and totally vegan!

If you are a chocolate lover and would like to try maca, than this is a great dessert for you! The nuts gives them a crunchy note, and that caramel filling is sweet and soft which is a great combination with the bitterness of the chocolate.

Lets head over to the recipe!

Makes about 7 chocolate cups

Ingredients:

• 100 g dark vegan chocolate of choice

Toppings

• a handful of chopped almonds

Filling

Method:

1. Melt the chocolate in a water bath.

3. Let the chocolate set in the freezer until the filling is ready.
4. Blend the soaked dates (without the water, together with the nut butter and banana until smooth. Then add the maca, sea salt, and vanilla and blend some more. When needed add a little planbased milk to the filling to make it more creamy.
5. Add a little of the filling in the chocolate cups, and cover with the leftover melted chocolate and the chopped almonds.
6. Freeze 20-30 minutes until set. Storage in the fridge.
