Description

Imagine tiny cups of delight, each a miniature world of peanut butter and jelly flavor. These aren't your average sweets; they're a carefully crafted treat designed to satisfy cravings without any unnecessary sugars. The base is a rich, nutty experience, a creamy peanut butter that melts in your mouth.

Its subtle saltiness is the perfect counterpoint to the sweet layer that follows. That sweet layer is a vibrant burst of fruity goodness. Think of your favorite berry preserve, concentrated into a smooth, luscious jelly.

It adds a tangy zing that awakens the taste buds, creating a harmonious blend with the peanut butter. The textures play off each other beautifully: the smooth, yielding peanut butter against the soft, almost liquid jelly. Enrobing this dynamic duo is a delicate shell of chocolate.

The slightly bitter, dark chocolate provides a satisfying snap as you bite into each cup, yielding to the soft interior. The chocolate isn't just a coating; it's an integral part of the flavor profile, adding depth and complexity. As the chocolate melts on your tongue, it releases its aromatic notes, further enhancing the overall experience.

These little cups are incredibly versatile. They're perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up, a light dessert after a meal, or even a guilt-free treat to share with friends and family. Their small size makes them ideal for portion control, allowing you to indulge without overdoing it.

Keep them chilled in the refrigerator for a refreshing and satisfying bite, ready whenever a sweet craving strikes. They are a delightful treat for both children and adults. If you find the chocolate becomes too firm, a gentle warming will restore its smooth texture, ensuring a perfect bite every time.

Enjoy the combination of flavors and textures in every single cup!

Instructions

    1.
    Start by making the strawberry jam. Slice the strawberries in half and add to a medium saucepan with the water.
    2.
    Bring to a boil and continue to boil rapidly until the strawberries are soft enough to mash with a fork (about 4 minutes). Reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring regularly and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the strawberries are reduced to a thick jam (about 4 minutes). Reserve to one side to cool completely.
    3.
    While the strawberries are cooling, add the coconut oil, xylitol, salt and cocoa powder to a food processor. Blend on a medium setting until you have a thick, runny chocolate sauce consistency.
    4.
    Arrange 9 mini cupcake cases and spoon ½ teaspoon of chocolate sauce into the base of each case, as level as you can, covering the bottom completely.
    5.
    Place the cupcake cases into the fridge to chill for 5 minutes until set. Reserve the remaining chocolate mixture to one side at room temperature.
    6.
    Remove the cases from the fridge and spoon 1/3 of a teaspoon of peanut butter on top of each chocolate layer, pressing down flat.
    7.
    Spoon 1/3 teaspoon of strawberry jam on top of each peanut butter layer.
    8.
    To finish, spoon 1 teaspoon of chocolate mixture over the top of each cup, completely covering the jam and peanut butter.
    9.
    Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to set.
