Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup almond flour (or any nut flour)

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for topping)

Sea salt (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Muffin Tin: Line a mini muffin or standard muffin tin with cupcake liners. This will make it easy to remove the cups once they are set.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly blended.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together when pressed.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer at the bottom of each cup.

            Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth.

              Top with Chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate over each coconut mixture in the muffin tin, ensuring even coverage across all cups.

                Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.

                  Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the muffin tin by gently peeling away the cupcake liners. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an extra flavor kick.

                    Enjoy: These No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature!
