These Salted Peanut Butter Cacao Cups are little pieces of heaven in a bite! Oozing with peanut butter, with sweetness coming from the cacao cup section, saltiness from the himalayan pink salt and finishing it off with balanced bitterness from orange zest! If you're a lover of chocolate or peanut butter, you MUST try these. So simple and fun to make too!
Equipment
- Grater
- Small Glass Bowl
- Saucepan
- Wooden Spoon
- Hand Whisk
- 5cm Wide Cupcake Liners
- Cupcake Tray
- Freezer
Ingredients
- 1 Organic Orange
- Pinch of Himalayan Salt
Method
- Start off by grating the cacao butter into a glass bowl.
- Place the glass bowl over simmering water (a bain marie, making sure the glass doesn’t touch the water).
- Stir until the cacao butter is fully melted.
- Add the cacao powder, maple syrup and whisk until smooth.
- Simply pour a small amount (roughly 1cm) of the mix into each cup cake liner. Then pop into a tray, so they keep their shape.
- Carefully place them into the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Take them out the freezer and add 1/2 a teaspoon of peanut butter to each cup (try smoothing it over with the spoon or your finger).
- Pour the cacao mix until it covers the peanut butter.
- Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Finish by topping each cup with orange zest and a small pinch of salt.
- Serve & enjoy!
