Ingredients
1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
For the Coconut Cream Layer:
1/2 cup coconut milk (canned)
2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin or silicone cupcake molds with cupcake liners.
-
Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together. You can melt them over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
-
Create the Base Layer: Spoon a small amount of the melted chocolate mixture into each cupcake liner, just enough to cover the bottom of each cup. Place the tin in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up.
-
Make the Coconut Cream: While the chocolate base sets, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt in a small bowl until smooth.
-
Fill with Coconut Cream: Once the chocolate has hardened, spoon the coconut cream mixture evenly into each cup, leaving some space for more chocolate on top.
-
Top with More Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the coconut cream layer to cover it completely.
-
Set the Fudge Cups: Return the muffin tin to the freezer and let the fudge cups set for at least 30 minutes, or until completely firm.
-
Serve: Once firm, remove the fudge cups from the freezer and peel off the liners. Serve and enjoy!
