‘Tis the Season for something yummy! I love these Mocha Cups because they are lower in sugar And really delicious! Chocolate and Coffee treats are one of my favorite combinations! These have a creamy coffee coconut cream center enrobed in delicious dark chocolate! They are a healthier treat for special occasions. Plus with just six ingredients they couldn’t be easier to make. They are also free of nuts, dairy and soy!

Chocolate Mocha Cups

Ingredients:

1 cup of Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips

1/2 Cup of Coconut Butter

1 Tablespoon of Coconut Milk

2 Teaspoons of Instant Coffee Crystals (I used these)

1/4 Teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract

Pinch of Sea Salt

Directions:

Place 14 mini muffin liners into a mini muffin pan.

Heat the coconut milk in a small bowl in the microwave until simmering, then stir in the coffee crystals until dissolved. Measure the coconut butter into a medium bowl and soften slightly in the microwave in ten second increments until you can stir it easily with a fork. Note: If you overheat the coconut butter it will freeze up. Whisk the coffee and coconut milk mixture into the coconut butter with a fork. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of sea salt. Make 14 teaspoon sized balls with the coconut butter mixture, and set aside.

In a double broiler on the stove melt your chocolate chips over simmering water. (I do this by placing a small saucepan with an inch of water on the stove, then creating a double broiler with a stainless steel bowl on top with the chocolate chips in it.) Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Melt the chocolate stirring with a fork.

Place a teaspoon of chocolate in the bottom of each mini muffin cup. Rap the tin on counter to spread the chocolate evenly in the bottom of the cups. Place a prepared coconut cream mocha ball in each cup, and flatten it slightly with your fingertip. Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the balls to make the cups. Rap the tin on the counter to make nice, flat chocolate tops. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
