Why you will love this recipe:

  • These dark chocolate raspberry cups taste amazing! Rich in dark chocolate and filled with a sweet raspberry filling.
  • It is really easy to make and comes together in just a few minutes.
  • It is naturally dairy free, paleo and vegan! 
  • It is refined sugar free. 
  • They freeze really well and can be stored for later.
  • This dessert can be eaten anytime and are also perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Easter and other special occasions like baby showers and bridal showers. 

Ingredients and substitutions: 

  • Coconut oil: to give the chocolate a melt in your mouth texture, without any dairy!
  • Honey: to add the perfect amount of sweetness to this dessert. You can swap this for maple syrup. 
  • Cacao powder: to give it that nice and rich dark chocolate flavour. You can use cocoa powder instead. 
  • Fresh raspberries: to make the beautiful raspberry filling for these chocolate cups. 
  • Coconut butter or manna: for the raspberry cream filling!
  • Vanilla extract: to help enhance all the beautiful flavours of this dessert recipe. 
  • Sea salt: just a pinch is all you need to help contrast the sweetness of these chocolate cups.

How to make:

You will love how easy these chocolates are to make!

  • Step one: first, stir together the chocolate ingredients until they are smooth.
  • Step two: then add ~2 tbsp of the chocolate mix to each silicone muffin cup. Then freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Step three: next make the raspberry layer and spoon a little onto each chocolate. Cover in the remaining chocolate and freeze for another 45 minutes.
  • Step four: remove from the freezer and enjoy!

Tips and variations: 

  • I recommend using silicone muffin cups to make these – they ensure the chocolate doesn’t stick and pops out easily.
  • You can use either honey or maple syrup to sweeten these.
  • If you don’t have cacao powder, use cocoa powder instead. 
  • Coconut butter, coconut manna and coconut cream concentrate are all the same thing, so use whichever one you have on hand.
  • To make this recipe vegan: use maple syrup instead of honey.

How to store: 

I recommend storing these chocolate raspberry cups in the freezer. If you leave them out too long they will start to melt.

Frequently asked questions: 

Can I gift these chocolate raspberry cups?

I do not recommend gifting these chocolates. If they are out of the freezer for too long they will start to melt which would make for a very messy gift. 

Can I use frozen raspberries?

I do not recommend using frozen raspberries for this recipe. They have too much liquid in them and will make the raspberry filling too runny.

  • Turtle Cookie Bars
  • Double Chocolate Avocado Brownies
  • Nut Butter and Chocolate Crunch Bars
