Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 1 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil.
Once melted, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and erythritol sweetener to the pan. Stir until completely combined and smooth.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Fill each muffin cup with about one tablespoon of the chocolate mixture, spreading it so it covers the bottom evenly. Reserve the remaining chocolate mixture.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 5 minutes, just until the chocolate is set.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sunflower seed butter and sea salt until smooth.
Remove the tin from the freezer and add a generous teaspoon of the sunflower seed butter mixture to each cup, flattening it slightly to create an even layer.
Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the sunflower seed butter, ensuring each cup is completely covered with chocolate.
Return the muffin tin to the freezer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, remove the cups from the muffin tin and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
