Rich dark chocolate cups filled with a smooth peanut butter maple centre and finished with a sprinkle of crunchy fu:di granola for texture.Ā 


Ingredients

Chocolate Shell & ToppingĀ 

  • 350g dark keto chocolateĀ Ā 

Peanut Butter FillingĀ 

  • 180g smooth peanut butterĀ 
  • 10-12g coconut flourĀ 
  • 40g keto maple syrupĀ 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extractĀ 
  • Pinch flaky sea saltĀ 

To FinishĀ 

  • 50g fu:di granola of your choiceĀ 

Let's Begin!

Step 1 - Prepare the Chocolate ShellsĀ 

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water until smooth.Ā 

Line a muffin tray or silicone mould with 12 cupcake cases.Ā 

Spoon a little chocolate into each mould and use the back of a spoon to spread it over the base and slightly up the sides.Ā 

Place in the fridge for 10 minutes until set.Ā 

Step 2 - Make the Peanut Butter FillingĀ 

Add the peanut butter, coconut flour, keto maple syrup, vanilla and flaky sea salt to a bowl.Ā 

Mix until smooth and creamy.Ā 

Allow to stand for 5 minutes so the coconut flour hydrates and firms the mixture slightly.Ā 

The filling should be soft and mouldable, similar to a Reese's centre.Ā 

Step 3 - Fill the CupsĀ 

Divide the peanut butter filling evenly between the chocolate shells.Ā 

Press gently into an even layer.Ā 

Break up your granola into smaller pieces, we used a mortar and pestle, but you could also use a food processor and pulse. Sprinkle a small pinch of fu:di granola over each peanut butter filling.Ā 

Step 4 - Seal with ChocolateĀ 

Cover each cup with the remaining melted chocolate.Ā 

Tap the tray gently on the worktop to level the tops and remove any air bubbles.Ā 

Step 5 - Chill & ServeĀ 

Refrigerate for 45–60 minutes until fully set.Ā 

Remove from the moulds and allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.Ā 

Store chilled in an airtight container.Ā 


Chef’s Tip!Ā 

Don't overdo the granola. A small pinch in each cup gives the perfect crunch without overpowering the smooth peanut butter centre. Using chocolate on its own, without added oil, gives a firmer shell and a cleaner snap when chilled.Ā
