- 1 cup runny tahini
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened, shredded coconut *The finer, the better
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips *I like Lily's or Lakanto
- a pinch of sea salt
Start by slowly heating the coconut oil in the microwave. I usually microwave it on defrost in 30-second increments and then 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. This includes tahini, coconut, maple syrup, and coconut oil. 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 3-4 chocolate chips upside down into each of the tops. (Optionally sprinkle with sea salt.)
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.
Storage:
Transfer the frozen cups to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to two months.
Tip and Modifications:
Make sure to only store these tahini cups in the freezer. They will melt if left out on the counter.
Salt and chocolate chips are optional but highly recommended. Feel free to add your favorite topping instead.
This makes a great meal prep recipe for a sweet treat all week long.
