Description

Indulge in these delightful chocolate treats, a perfect harmony of rich flavor and satisfying texture. Crafted with melted cacao butter, these delectable morsels offer a blank canvas for your culinary creativity. The simple yet elegant recipe combines the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth cacao butter with the deep, intense notes of dark cacao powder, balanced by a hint of salt to enhance the sweetness.

Sweetener is blended to create a harmonious fusion of flavors that will captivate your taste buds. The preparation is as simple as it is rewarding. The melted mixture, a velvety cascade of chocolatey goodness, is poured into molds and chilled until firm, transforming into decadent little cups.

These treats are perfect as a delightful snack, a sweet ending to a meal, or a satisfying way to curb cravings. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. Feel free to tailor it to your preferences and experiment with different variations.

For a softer, more delicate texture, consider substituting some of the cacao butter with coconut oil, creating a melt-in-your-mouth sensation that is simply irresistible. The thickness of the cups can also be adjusted to your liking; thicker cups are easier to handle and offer a more substantial bite, while thinner cups provide a more delicate experience. Unleash your inner artist by adorning these chocolate creations with a variety of toppings.

A sprinkle of pink Himalayan sea salt adds a touch of sophistication and enhances the chocolate's sweetness. Freeze-dried fruits, such as mango or strawberries, bring a burst of vibrant flavor and color. Toasted coconut flakes provide a delightful crunch and a hint of tropical essence.

For those who enjoy a nutty crunch, incorporate toasted almonds or crushed walnuts into the mixture. Elevate the flavor profile by adding extracts such as mint, almond, banana, or rum, creating unique and exciting flavor combinations that will tantalize your senses. The choice of cacao powder also plays a crucial role; dark cacao powder imparts the richest color and most intense flavor, while a sweetener ensures the perfect balance of sweetness.

Whether you prefer silicone molds or paper liners, the possibilities are endless. These chocolate cups are a delightful treat to savor on their own, or enjoy with coffee for a truly sublime experience.

    4.
    Vanilla Extract
    Vanilla Extract
    ½ teaspoon

Instructions

    1.
    In a double boiler, add a couple of inches of water to the bottom pot and bring it to a boil. If you do not have a double boiler, you can use any small saucepan filled with a couple of inches of water and place a heatproof glass bowl on top of it. Fill the top of a double boiler with the cacao butter wafers or cubes (whatever you are using). If not using a traditional double boiler, fill the heatproof glass bowl with the cacao butter. Heat the cacao until melted, stirring occasionally. Once completely melted, remove the butter from the heat.
    2.
    Add in the cocoa powder, Swerve, and vanilla extract. Stir well with a small whisk until all the lumps are incorporated. The sweetener tends to fall to the bottom of the mixture so be sure to give it a good stir right before dividing it into the liners.
    3.
    Ready a rimmed baking sheet with silicone cupcake liners. Pour the chocolate into 12 silicone or paper cupcake liners. Refrigerate until chilled and firm before removing from the liners.
    4.
    Store solid Keto vegan chocolate cups in a freezer bag in the fridge. If you store it in the freezer they will last longer and be harder to munch on, but still so delicious!
