Incredible Almond Date Caramel Cups (V+GF)
Makes 1 cup of date caramel and 8 pieces.
Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
1 cup soaked dates
½ cup full fat coconut milk
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ tablespoons coconut oil
1 cup vegan chocolate chips (dark morsels)
¼ cup chopped almonds
Method
1. Strain dates and place them in a high powered blender or food processor. Then add milk
and salt. Blend well until creamy smooth caramel remains. Set Aside.
2. Prepare 8 cupcake liners.
3. Melt coconut oil in a small pot over low heat. Proceed to add chocolate chips and stir
vigorously until melted to prevent burning. Once melted, set aside.
4. Fill each of the cupcake liners with 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate. Using a spoon,
coat the sides of the liners halfway up to their rims. Transfer and freeze for 3 minutes.
5. Remove from freezer and fill with 1 tablespoon of date caramel each. Add a few
chopped almonds. Cover with remaining chocolate from pot and transfer to refrigerator to sit for an additional 15 minutes before removing from molds.
