Ingredients
  

For Coconut Butter:

  • 3 cups Desiccated Coconut
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

For the chocolate coating

Instructions
 

  • Add your Desiccated Coconut and Sea Salt to a high quality food processor or high-speed blender. Turn the processor or blender on and process for 2-3 minutes, using the tamper to help move the coconut around if necessary.
  • Continue processing until your Coconut turns into a smooth and silky Coconut Butter. This may take anywhere between 5-10 minutes, depending on the power of your food processor/blender.
  • If your Coconut Butter seems a little too thick, thin it down with a tablespoon or two of melted Coconut Oil and process until smooth. You may have Coconut Butter leftover which you can store in a jar for other uses.
  • Melt your Vegan Chocolate and line a cupcake tin with wrappers.
  • Working with half of your melted chocolate, line the bottom of each cupcake liner with a 3/4 inch layer of chocolate.
  • Place cupcake tin in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to allow chocolate to harden.
  • Once hardened, layer on an inch of Coconut Butter into each liner. Return tin to the fridge until Coconut Butter has hardened.
  • Finally, add the remaining half of your melted Chocolate in a 3/4 inch thick layer over your hardened Coconut Butter.
  • Return tin to the fridge for 30 minutes before removing from liners and enjoying!
  • Coconut Butter Cups will store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Alternatively, if your kitchen or pantry is cool enough, they will store for up to a week in an air-tight box on the counter.

Notes

Extra Coconut Butter can be drizzled on fruit, added to Soups or Curries and enjoyed on Toast.
If your pantry is cool, Coconut Butter may harden. Simply place your jar in hot water and allow the Coconut Butter to soften before using.
TO STORE: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
TO FREEZE: Place leftovers in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
