Salted Peanut Butter Cups {Raw*Vegan}

These are literally the most delicious little treats ever invented. And everyone has there own provisions to the same recipe.. you could even experiment with our own version.!

I'm not going to lie to ya~ Mine is pretty rich. Moist. Sweet. Salty..

......mmm

I wish I was eating them right now...

Lets get started :)

Crust
{ recipe adopted from my mini key lime pies} 

1/4 cup raw shredded coconut
2 tbs extra virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup raw pumkin seeds
1/4 cup raw almonds
5 madjool dates
2 tsp honey
1 tsp hemp seed butter> or cashew butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp sea salt

Put all ingredients in a food processor until blended. BUT first start with the almonds and seeds,
as they need the blade to break down their tuffness.
Then add all other ingredients until blended and sticky :)

Chocolate Sauce

you can use 2 methods depending on what you have available:

1} 1/2 cup -70% dark chocolate chips or bar.
Melted down with 2 tbs pure coconut oil and 2 tbs maple syrup, over a double boiler method.

2} 1/2 cup cocoa powder. Melted with 2 tbs pure coconut oil and 2 tbs heavy cream, over a double boiler method

Assemble

Layer your crust in the bottom of a mini muffin tin, making sure to leave room for the other good stuff. Dollop on some of your favourite all natural peanut butter and drizzle with the melted chocolate. And refrigerate for 1/2 hour to let the cocoa set.
Finish with some flaky sea salt. MALDON or Fleur de Sel, Celtic Seal Salt


*Recipe makes about a dozen mini peanut butter cups.

Little mini Coconut, Key-Lime Pies {Vegan/Raw}

Making healthy bite size deserts really are the highlight of my day. And what a good way to end the day!  Super easy to make and even more so to eat.

Depending on your sweet tooth, mine is really sweet. I didn't want to use as much sweetener, but you could definitely use more dates or honey, if you desire to. And I also discovered that they don't last long... Not because they are so damn delicious they will disappear!  although they will~  But the filling {made of avocado } goes too ripe overnight...
which is pretty sad, if they last overnight  :)

Hope you enjoy!

Filling

1 large whole avocado or 2 small
1 lime {zested and juiced}
1 tsp honey
1 tsp pure maple syrup
1/4 banana

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Taste to your sweetness satisfaction.
Put the filling in a bowl and refrigerate.


 Crust

1/4 cup raw shredded coconut
2 tbs extra virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup raw pumkin seeds
1/4 cup raw almonds
5 madjool dates
2 tsp honey
1 tsp hemp seed butter> or cashew butter
1/8 tsp ground cardamom {optional}
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp sea salt

{ You don't even really have to wash the food processor before this next step, is all going to the same place :)}
Mix all ingredients in the same food processor until blended and sticky. BUT first start with the almonds and seeds as they will need some encouragement.  Then add all other ingredients.
When finished. Transfer mix into the base of a mini muffin tin. Filling as full or as mini as you want really.
And top with filling. Garnish with raw or toasted coconut! easy pleazy!
