Ingredients and substitutions:

• Dark chocolate - this is used to form the outer layer of these chocolates. You can use dark chocolate bars or dark chocolate chips. Instead of dark chocolate you could use milk chocolate or another type of chocolate if you prefer. I do not recommend using unsweetened chocolate or bittersweet chocolate.
• Fresh raspberries - to make the delicious raspberry filling. You could also use frozen raspberries, but just let them thaw first. 
• Coconut oil - to help give the outer chocolate layer the perfect melt in your mouth texture.
• Coconut milk - to make the raspberry layer even more rich and creamy. I recommend using full fat coconut milk.
• Collagen peptides - powdered collagen peptides are the secret ingredient that makes these chocolates high in protein. Be sure to use plain, unflavoured collagen peptides. 
• Coconut sugar - this is added to the raspberry filling to give it a little extra sweetness. If you don't have coconut sugar you could use cane sugar instead. 
• Hemp seeds - to add a little more protein and texture to the raspberry cream filling. These are also known as hemp hearts. Do not try and use chia seeds instead of hemp seeds. 

How to make (step-by-step):

Step one:

First, line a muffin tray with silicone muffin cups or parchment paper muffin cups.

Step two:

In a microwave safe bowl microwave the chocolate on high in 30 second intervals until melted. 

Step three:

Then stir the coconut oil and collagen peptides into the melted chocolate until you have a smooth consistency. 

Step four:

Then transfer 1-2 tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture into each muffin cup. 

Step five:

Next, place the tray in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. While the chocolate is hardening you can make the raspberry layer. 

Step six:

To make the raspberry layer place a medium saucepan on the stove on low heat and add the raspberries and coconut milk.

Step seven:

Heat the raspberries and coconut milk for a few minutes, stirring frequently to break the raspberries apart. 

Step eight:

Once the raspberries are broken down, allow the mix to simmer for about 10 minutes, to allow it to thicken. Stir it regularly so the raspberries don't stick to the bottom of the pan. 

Step nine:

Turn off the heat and stir in the collagen, coconut sugar, and hemp seeds. 

Step ten:

Let the raspberry mixture cool (I like to put the pot in the fridge to speed up the process). 

Step eleven:

Remove the muffin tray from the freezer and transfer about 1 tablespoon of the raspberry mixture to each muffin cup and then cover it with more melted chocolate. 

Step twelve:

Lastly, place the pan back in the freezer and freeze for another 15 minutes, until the chocolate is hard. Then serve and enjoy!

Recipe variations and add ins:

• Feel free to add a little vanilla extract to the melted chocolate to give it a different flavour.
• If you like salty chocolate add a bit of flaky sea salt to the top of each chocolate before freezing.
• If you don't have collagen or are vegan you can simply omit the collagen from the recipe, but just note that these chocolates will no longer be high in protein (but they still taste amazing).
• Feel free to make a double or triple batch if you are serving a crowd or want to gift these chocolates.

How to store:

Store these chocolates in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 30 days. They also freeze really well in a freezer safe container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
