Hi lovies. I made these delicious 5 ingredient peanut butter cups back in July (you can tell by the table cloth haha) and just now realized that I STILL hadn't posted about them. I'm sorry I deprived you of these for so long!
Peanut Butter Cups
(V&GF)
Recipe
- About 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (or 200 g of vegan chocolate)
- About 3/4 cups natural peanut butter*
- 4 tablespoons of melted coconut oil (divided)
- Confectioners sugar (start with 1/4 cup and go from there)
- Non-dairy milk (I used either unsweetened almond or soy)
*I used unsweetened which did not make for a tasty filling hence the confectioners sugar
** You can also make these with any other kind of nut/seed butter
Directions:
1. Line cupcake pan or just get out the cupcake holders. This will make around 20 pb cups.
2. In a small bowl, scoop out roughly 3/4 cups peanut butter and add in 2 remaining tablespoons of melted coconut oil. Add powdered sugar, stir and taste. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar :) Remember that the vegan chocolate will not be super sweet. Add the non-dairy milk 1 tbsp at a time to thin the mixture to a (natural) peanut butter consistency. Mix well to incorporate and set aside.
3. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler with 2 tbsp of coconut oil. After all is melted & stirred, take off the heat
4. With a spoon, scoop in a little melted chocolate to cover the bottom of each liner. (if you want to be super fancy and not see the peanut butter layer, spread some of the chocolate up the sides of the liner as well). Place in the freezer for about 2 minutes to set.
5. Add a small scoop of peanut butter filling Then scoop more melted chocolate to cover the top. Then pop back into the freezer to firm them up.
