Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups peanut butter (or almond or cashew butter)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2-3/4 cup jam or jelly -store bought or homemade chia jam recipe below in notes
Optional
- Pinch or two of flaky salt
Instructions
- Line muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners or arrange 12 silicone cupcake liners on baking tray. For a mini version of these cups, you could use a silicone mini muffin tray.In a medium size bowl mix together peanut butter and melted coconut oil. Whisk until creamy smooth. Spoon one tablespoon of peanut butter mixture into each prepared muffin liner. Place in freezer for 10 minutes. When you are setting the bases in the freezer, don’t let them go completely hard. You want them to still be soft to the touch, this will help the top layer stick to the base layer when freezing the cups at the end.Remove from freezer and spoon two teaspoons of jam into the middle of each peanut butter layer. Use back of spoon to gently flatten. Note: When dolloping the jam onto the bases, make sure that your jam doesn’t spread to the sides. You want to leave a small gap between the edges and the jam, so the jam doesn’t spill out and it’s all encased when the peanut shell hardens.Top with remaining peanut butter mixture, one tablespoon in each cup, to cover jam. If adding coarse salt on top, add after cups have been in the freezer for about five minutes to harden just a bit. Otherwise, the salt may just sink into the soft mixture.Place in freezer for at least 30 minutes to harden. Pop out of the molds or peel off the liners.Store in air-tight container in freezer (or fridge if you prefer a softer texture.)
