Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell

  • 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy and smooth)
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup or agave syrup (optional)

Jam Layer

  • 23 tablespoons fruit jam or preserves (raspberry, strawberry, or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace and ingredients: Line a mini muffin tray with paper liners and ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to facilitate smooth mixing and easy assembly.
  2. Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, gently melt the vegan dark chocolate with coconut oil if using. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  3. Create the chocolate base: Coat the bottom and sides of each muffin cup with melted chocolate using a spoon or pastry brush. Refrigerate the tray to let the chocolate harden and form a sturdy shell.
  4. Prepare the peanut butter filling: In a bowl, mix the natural peanut butter with maple syrup if desired, stirring until creamy and easy to scoop.
  5. Assemble the cups: Once the chocolate shells are firm, spoon a small amount of peanut butter filling into each cup, leaving space on top. Add a dollop of fruit jam over the peanut butter and gently swirl it to mix slightly.
  6. Seal with chocolate: Cover the fillings with the remaining melted chocolate, smoothing the tops to seal the peanut butter and jam inside. Refrigerate again until fully set.

Notes

  • Use quality ingredients like natural peanut butter and real fruit jam for best flavor.
  • Temper the melted chocolate by cooling and reheating carefully to get a shiny, crisp exterior.
  • Work quickly as chocolate can harden fast—prepare all materials beforehand.
  • Taste the peanut butter filling before assembly and adjust sweetness with maple syrup if needed.
  • Store the chocolate cups refrigerated in an airtight container to prevent melting and spoilage.
