Hi guys! I accidentally uploaded this post first without any text, haha, that can happen sometimes!
This is my kind of status right now, sweet but without control!;)
My recipe today for you all is an absolute chocolate bomb! I am so happy how they turned out! Perfect smooth chocolate filling on a crispy crust made of cinnamon granola! To make it even more delicate, I added some chocolate for the decoration together with some pomegranate seeds. PURE HEAVEN!!
Enjoy!
CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH A CRISPY CINNAMON GRANOLA CRUST!
This recipe is perfect for any chocolate lover, for a special evening treat, tea snack or party highlight! You decide how and when to serve and devour them! I personally prefer to enjoy one when my little one is asleep and I have some me-time. As I have right now, together with a cup of herbal tea. So delicious!
My chocolate cupcakes are:
- VEGAN
- GLUTEN FREE
- REFINED SUGAR FREE
- SUPER HEALTHY RAW TREATS (except for the granola, but you can use nuts instead to make it 100% raw)
- made with great love
- healthy treat for parties
- suitable for children (not under 1 year please!)
So before I get you drool all over the screen, I will share the recipe with you guys! Excited? So am I! (Please let me know if you give them a try, I always enjoy feedback on my recipes, that is how I can improve and learn!)
CHOCOLATE BOMB CUPCAKES!!!
RECIPE
Ingredients:
Chocolate Filling
- 3/4 cup cashew nuts (soak them overnight, rinse and drain well!)
- 4 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 6 tbsp coconut blossom nectar
- 1/2 cup oat milk or any other plantbased milk
- 3 tbsp (raw) cacao powder (unsweetened)
- 10 g cacao butter
- pinch vanilla
Crust
- 100 g homemade cinnamon granola or nuts of choice (if you use nuts, also add 1 tsp cinnamon)
- 60 g dates (pitted and chopped)
- 40 raw buckwheat hearts
Method:
- Start with the filling: melt the cacao butter in a water bath. While you let the cacao butter melt, blend the other ingredients for the chocolate filling in a high-speed blender or a food processor until the ingredients are well combined and you have a very smooth chocolate cream. Add the melted cacao butter and blend some more.
- When the chocolate filling is super smooth and creamy, pour the cream into silicon molds. Makes about 9 of them.
- Dont fill the molds to the edge, you should leave space for the crust later on.
- Of course, your kids will need to test the batter before they are going into the freezer!
Hit the molds a few times against the table to get rid of air bubbles. Be careful while you are doing this!
Pop the molds into the freezer for 3 hours or more. Be sure the chocolate filling is frozen when you take them out. * Leave them in the molds!
Time for the crust! Add the 3 ingredients for the crust to the blender and blend until it sticks together well.
- It should not be to smooth, because its nice with a crunchiness!
- When the chocolate cupcakes are frozen, you can press down some of the crust on each cupcake. Press down thoughtfully and evenly.
- Freeze again until set.
- Take out the chocolate cupcakes out of the molds, decorate them how you wish (melted vegan chocolate and fresh berries), and let them defrost for 10 minutes before serving!
- Enjoy with tea!;)
Oh I am enjoying those chocolate treats a lot, I really needed them this week, and I am happy they turned out absolutely amazing! In the mist of life-changing feelings, I need a sweet harbor. Anyone who can relate? Anyway, I will write more about this tomorrow. See you soon, and take care my darlings!
Sending you a lot of love!
I hope you enjoy my pictures and this new recipe from today!
Love, Niina
