Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free options available)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough-like mixture.

    Form the Cups: Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners. Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of the coconut mixture and evenly distribute it into the bottoms of each liner. Press down firmly to create a compact base, ensuring there is enough space left at the top for the chocolate layer.

      Chill the Base: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 30 minutes. This will help the coconut cups firm up and hold their shape.

        Melt the Chocolate: In the meantime, prepare the chocolate layer. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and the tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

          Add the Chocolate Layer: Once the coconut base has firmed up in the refrigerator, remove the muffin tin. Carefully pour the melted chocolate over each coconut cup, filling them all the way to the top.

            Set the Cups: Return the muffin tin to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate layer to set completely.

              Serve and Enjoy: After the chocolate has set, gently peel away the paper liners from each cup. Your Decadent No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Cups are now ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
