These cups are pretty darn quick to make for a beautiful homemade one two punch of my personal favorite combination… cold brew coffee and chocolate! To make them keto, simply opt for a very dark chocolate, and omit the honey. To make them vegan, replace the honey with maple syrup.
Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl set over a pot with a few inches of water on the top—you’re making a double boiler. The trick to melting chocolate is to let it take its time. Rush it and heat the chocolate too high, and you’ll be left with chocolate that is grainy and crystallizes when it cools (and loses its shine). Gently stir until the chocolate and coconut oil are smooth. Remove from heat.
Prepare your muffin tray with the liners, then pour in about 1 tablespoon of the dark chocolate into each. Once all are filled, gently swirl the tray around a bit so the chocolate forms a lip at the bottom of the muffin liner—this will help make the bottom half of the cup “cup” the filling.
While the chocolate bottoms are solidifying in the freezer, combine the coconut manna, cold brew, honey, collagen peptides and ground coffee. If the coconut manna isn’t smooth, combine this in a small saucepan briefly so it mixes together well.
Remove the cup bottoms from the freezer, then divide the coconut manna mixture into the middle of each cup, leaving a space around each in order to seal the cup with the top layer of chocolate.
Garnish with any toppings you desire, then transfer back to the freezer to set for an additional 30-45 minutes, or when ready to eat. I like to transfer them to the fridge or room temperature before eating, so you can taste the chocolate better than if they're right from the fridge.
