To make these delicious Vegan Coconut and Almond Butter Cups you can use any nut butter you like and melt the chocolate of your choice. I like to make my own chocolate but when time is running out sometimes the quick option can be the best.

I love those Coconut and Almond Butter Cups for 2 reasons! First there are so handy to keep, pop them in the freezer and grab as you need, they can be eaten straight from the freezer. Second, I have combined 3 of my favourite flavours: coconut, almond butter and chocolate in one single bite, HEAVEN!

3 Ingredients Chocolate Recipe

As I mentioned before, you can melt any chocolate you like for the chocolate layer. However, if you have a bit of time try this melted chocolate recipe and you will be able to know exactly what goes into it.

Cacao butter isn’t as expensive as you may think a ndyou need to use very little in this recipe. Click this link if you like to buy the one I used in this recipe.

Raw, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free

As per usual, this recipe is vegan but also raw, gluten-free and refined sugar-free. I am a true believer that treating yourself with the food you love does not need to be at the expense of your health. You can have the cake and feel good about it :).

I have made these cups into a heart mould and added some rose petals. These Coconut and Almond Butter Cups are a great treat to give as a little something to someone you love.
