Yummy, yummy recipe!!! I recently found out I have some food allergies including, gluten, soy, milk, and eggs. I've discovered that when I avoid these foods not only do I feel better, but I also begin to shed some pounds. Since discovering this, I've been trying to create yummy foods that I can have. Here is a great recipe that is so good!
Almond Butter Cups
1/2 C Cocoa Powder (I used Dark Chocolate which is supposed to be healthier)
3/4 C Coconut Butter (This is actually coconut oil. Make sure it is NOT extra virgin or it will have a very strong taste. I use expeller-pressed)
1/2 C agave (use could use honey, but it is a little harder to mix)
1 TBS vanilla
1/2 tsp sea salt
5 TBS almond butter (I used fresh ground almond butter from Vitamin Cottage)
Blend all ingredients except almond butter in a food processor until smooth. Place the flexipan on a perforated baking sheet. Put half the batter into a mini size flexipan tray. (I used the mini charlotte tray in the picture shown. This tray is discontinued now. Any shape would work, it's really the size that you are wanting.) Place the flexipan in a freezer for five minutes. Remove from freezer and spread a small amount of almond butter on top of the hardened chocolate then cover with the rest of the chocolate sauce. Place back into the freezer for five more minutes. Remove from freezer and pop chocolates out of the flexipan mold. The almond butter cups then need to be placed into a storage container and kept in the freezer. Can be eaten straight out of the freezer. Enjoy!
