I just read on Instagram that its National Peanut Butter day .... Not sure what thats about but hey, any excuse to share this 😉 Peanut Butter Cups 1 cup desiccated coconut (110g) 8 medjool dates (85g) ¼ cup raw macadamias (40g) peanut butter (or nut butter of your choice) approximately ¼ cup 2/3 cup rapadura (or brown sugar) (90g) OR 1/4 cup maple syrup (75g) (the rapadura doesn’t always dissolver 100% so may leave chocolate slightly ‘gritty’ it will still taste great!) ½ cup coconut oil (liquid form) 90g 2 tblspns cacao (30g) Place desiccated coconut, dates and macadamias into your food processor and blitz until thoroughly combined (1-2 minutes depending on your machine). TMX = 40 seconds / speed 8. Place teaspoon amounts of this mixture into mini muffin tins (they do not have to be greased) and use your fingers to push the mixture in, to form a cup / tart base. Place ½ tspn of peanut butter into each base and place in the freezer whilst you make the chocolate. Place the rapadura, coconut oil and cacao into a small saucepan and melt over a low heat, stirring constantly until thoroughly combined. Leave on a low heat for 10 minutes – stirring occasionally – be careful not to burn it. TMX = 10 minutes / 37c / speed 3. Scrape down sides. Then, 5 minutes / 50c / speed 4. Remove the cups from the freezer and place even amounts of chocolate on top of each one. Return to the freezer for 1 hour before enjoying! Makes 16. Notes: – You can use nut butter of your choice. Here is the link to my home-made almond and macadamia nut butter. - Be careful you don’t fill the cups too much with the peanut butter as you need to leave room for the layer of chocolate. - Use a small knife to pop the cups out of the tin (they will remove easily). Store in an airtight container in the freezer. They won’t last long! – You can swap the rapadura for sweetener of your choice. - I had chocolate left over so I popped the extra chocolate into the mini muffin tins and popped a whole raw macadamia in them and then placed them in the freezer also. YUM! cutoutthecrap.au/peanut-butter-cups/
