Hi guys! I accidentally uploaded this post first without any text, haha, that can happen sometimes!

This is my kind of status right now, sweet but without control!;)

My recipe today for you all is an absolute chocolate bomb! I am so happy how they turned out! Perfect smooth chocolate filling on a crispy crust made of cinnamon granola! To make it even more delicate, I added some chocolate for the decoration together with some pomegranate seeds. PURE HEAVEN!!

Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH A CRISPY CINNAMON GRANOLA CRUST!

This recipe is perfect for any chocolate lover, for a special evening treat, tea snack or party highlight! You decide how and when to serve and devour them! I personally prefer to enjoy one when my little one is asleep and I have some me-time. As I have right now, together with a cup of herbal tea. So delicious!

CHOCOLATE BOMB CUPCAKES!!!

RECIPE

cupcakes (1 von 26)-2.jpg

Ingredients:

Chocolate Filling

  • 3/4 cup cashew nuts (soak them overnight, rinse and drain well!)
  • 4 tbsp virgin coconut oil
  • 6 tbsp coconut blossom nectar
  • 1/2 cup oat milk or any other plantbased milk
  • 3 tbsp (raw) cacao powder (unsweetened)
  • 10 g cacao butter
  • pinch vanilla

Crust

  • 100 g homemade cinnamon granola or nuts of choice (if you use nuts, also add 1 tsp cinnamon)
  • 60 g dates (pitted and chopped)
  • 40 raw buckwheat hearts

Method:

  • Start with the filling: melt the cacao butter in a water bath. While you let the cacao butter melt, blend the other ingredients for the chocolate filling in a high-speed blender or a food processor until the ingredients are well combined and you have a very smooth chocolate cream. Add the melted cacao butter and blend some more.

  • When the chocolate filling is super smooth and creamy, pour the cream into silicon molds. Makes about 9 of them.

  • Dont fill the molds to the edge, you should leave space for the crust later on.

  • Of course, your kids will need to test the batter before they are going into the freezer!

  • Hit the molds a few times against the table to get rid of air bubbles. Be careful while you are doing this!

  • Pop the molds into the freezer for 3 hours or more. Be sure the chocolate filling is frozen when you take them out. * Leave them in the molds!

  • Time for the crust! Add the 3 ingredients for the crust to the blender and blend until it sticks together well.

  • It should not be to smooth, because its nice with a crunchiness!

  • When the chocolate cupcakes are frozen, you can press down some of the crust on each cupcake. Press down thoughtfully and evenly.
  • Freeze again until set.
  • Take out the chocolate cupcakes out of the molds, decorate them how you wish (melted vegan chocolate and fresh berries), and let them defrost for 10 minutes before serving!
  • Enjoy with tea!;)

YAy!! Enjoy my dear!!;)

How delicious they look, it really has provoked me, your photos were beautiful, it's a very artistic work, god bless you my dear @venga.niinja.

So many thanks to you my dear!! So glad you enjoy them!!

Oh my dear....so who had the first bite? lol LOVE your little helper, he was really helping today wasn't he? These look so amazing Niina, well done :) The pomegranate seeds, Yum!

Thank you so much, my love! Actually, he had the first bite! He tested one of the cupcakes while I took the pictures, you can see the mark on of the cupcakes on the first picture;) Haha, later he took the whole cupcake to the table, and enjoyed it there while I finished the photo shoot. Lol, kind of challenging actually, because he wanted to pick out all the chocolate and pomegranate from all of the cupcakes before I finished the photo session. But I did it at least!! Power women, right;)

What a mom! Wonder Woman! Love to hear!

Much love to you!
