Equipment

  • 1 small bowl to heat the coconut oil in
  • 1 medium bowl to make the mixture in
  • 14 mini cupcake liners

Ingredients

  • 1 cup runny tahini
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened, shredded coconut *The finer, the better
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted and slightly cooled coconut oil
  • ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips *I like Lily's or Lakanto
  • a pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Start by slowly heating the coconut oil in the microwave. I usually microwave it for about 12 seconds and give it a good stir. Allow it to cool for a few minutes. It does not need to necessarily come to room temperature, it just cannot be hot.
  • Place the mini cupcake liners into a tray. You can use reusable silicone liners or disposable paper liners. Set the tray aside.
  • Place all of the ingredients into a medium bowl, except the chocolate chips. With a spatula, mix everything until it becomes a smooth, creamy batter. 
  • Pour the batter into each liner about 7/8 of the way up. Press in 3-4 chocolate chips upside down into each of the tops. 
  • Place the tray into the freezer for at least 1 hour. Make sure the tray is level so that the cups freeze evenly.
  • When you are ready to eat them, pull them out of the freezer and enjoy them immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container and in the freezer. The cups should last 2 months in the freezer.
They will melt if you leave them on the counter. Eat immediately or store in the freezer.
Salt and chocolate chips on top are optional.  However, I highly recommend chocolate chips.
