These dark chocolate cashew butter cups are paleo-friendly and so satisfying!
Ingredients
  • 4 bars 100% no sugar added dark chocolate (I like Eating Evolved Midnight )
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened nut butter (I like cashew butter)
  • 1 scoop protein powder or collagen peptides ( I love Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides)
  • 1 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut shreds
  • Optional: 2 Tbsp. maple syrup to sweeten the chocolate, and a ½ teaspoon sea salt to bring out the sweetness even more!
Instructions
  1. Take a muffin tin and line with cupcake papers (You can also use a silicone mold).
  2. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil over the stove.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into each muffin tin, filling until just the bottom is covered. Stick the tin in the freezer while you make the nut butter mixture.
  4. Scoop the nut butter into a bowl and heat for 30 seconds in a double boiler.
  5. Stir the cashew butter, slowly adding collagen powder until a thick ball forms.
  6. Pull the muffin tin out of the freezer and scoop a spoonful of nut butter mixture into each muffin tin. Shape nut butter “dough” into a thick disc shape and place in each tin.
  7. Pour remaining melted chocolate over the disc and sprinkle with dried edible flowers, coconut, etc.
  8. Put tin back into freezer and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes to an hour.
  9. Store your collagen cashew butter chocolate cups in an air tight containter in the fridge so it doesn't melt!
