You may find this hard to believe, but I was in charge of bringing dessert to our family dinner this year… right… So, for those who asked, here is the recipe for Chocolate Coconut Cups, which I created for a friend who was allergic to nuts and couldn’t enjoy the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups<\/a>… what a shame. So far, I haven’t heard any complaints other than the matter of the empty plate, which was quickly resolved by reaching onto the fridge for just a few more!<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n

Filling<\/em>
\n\u00bd cup unsweetened coconut shreds
\n2 tablespoons coconut oil
\n1 tablespoon powdered sugar
\n1 teaspoon white chia seeds
\n1 tablespoon oat flour
\n1 teaspoon coconut extract (essence)
\npinch of salt<\/p>\n

Chocolate Cups<\/em>
\n1 cup chocolate chips
\n1 teaspoon coconut oil<\/p>\n

Topping (optional)<\/em>
\nCoconut shreds, or shavings, or other nuts (pictured with chopped almonds)
\n* Or \u00bc cup coconut shreds and \u00bc cup creamed coconut (available at Oriental grocery stores)<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h4>\n

Combine coconut, creamed coconut (if using), coconut oil, powdered sugar, chia seeds, oat flour, sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir well; refrigerate to firm up.
\nMelt chocolate chips with coconut oil in top of double boiler (or microwave in 15-second intervals, being careful not to burn the chocolate).
\nLine a mini muffin pan with 12 liners.
\nScoop out cooled coconut mixture into 12 ball-shaped portions; set aside on a plate.
\nFill bottom of liners with a heaping teaspoon of melted chocolate.
\nPlace a ball of coconut mixture into the chocolate; press slightly so the chocolate rises up the sides.
\nPour remaining melted chocolate over the coconut, ensuring that no coconut is visible.
\nSprinkle with coconut, if desired. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
