Ingredients
Chocolate Cup Ingredients:
  • 8 ounces fair-trade unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener (Confectioners' Style)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Filling Ingredients:
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener (Confectioners' Style)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
  1. Line a mini-muffin tin with 24 mini muffin liners.
  2. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water to 1/2 inch below the upper pan or bowl. Place the double boiler over high heat. Place the chocolate, Swerve, and coconut oil in the top pan or bowl of the double boiler and stir the regularly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove the double-boiler from the heat but leave the chocolate in it so the residual heat will keep it melty as you use it. Pour 1 teaspoon of chocolate into the first muffin liner, lifting it and tilting/turning it to coat the inside of the liner with chocolate. Replace it in the muffin tin and repeat this with each other liner. Freeze the pan for about 15 minutes.
  3. While the chocolate cups freeze, process the macadamia nuts, coconut, Swerve, and salt on high in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and process to mix. Once the cups are solid, pack each cup full of the nut mixture and level the top. Pour 1 teaspoon of chocolate over each cup, swirling it to cover the nut mixture completely. Replace each cup into the muffin tin and replace the tin in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Remove the cups to an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy them for an occasional snack!
