Chocolate Cashew Butter Cups with Raspberry Chia Jam
Ingredients
Raspberry chia jam
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh)
- 2 tsp agave
- 4 tsp blood orange/orange juice
- pinch sea salt
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
Chocolate cashew butter filling
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
- Pinch salt
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 4–5 tsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Chocolate cups
- 8 oz dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Sea salt + crushed rose petals for topping
Preparation
Raspberry chia jam
Blend all ingredients except chia.
Pour into a bowl and stir in chia seeds.
Let refrigerate for 2 hours to thicken.
Chocolate cashew butter
Add raw cashews to a high speed blender or food processor.
Blend until they reach a smooth consistency, frequently pausing to scrape down the sides.
Add in remaining ingredients and continue to blend. The whole process may take up to 10 minutes of blending, so be sure your blender or food processor can handle the heat!
Chocolate cups
Line a mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners.
Chop dark chocolate bars and melt over double boiler with about 1 tbsp of coconut oil, stirring frequently. Alternatively, melt in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.
Spoon about 1 tsp of chocolate into each muffin tin. Be sure to coat the sides of each muffin tin – you can achieve this with a pastry brush. Let harden in fridge or freezer (about 10 mins).
Once hardened, spoon in cashew butter to fill to halfway point. Then, add a small layer of chia jam, leaving space at the top to fill with remaining dark chocolate. Sprinkle with a touch of sea salt and return to refrigerator or freezer until completely hardened. Enjoy!
