Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

Almond Butter Layer

  • 1/2 cup coconut butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons raw almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon agave

Instructions

Chocolate Layer

  • Slice the raw cacao butter into thin slices.
  • Melt the cacao butter double boiler method on the lowest heat setting.
  • While the cacao butter is melting, mix the raw cacao powder and salt together in a medium size bowl.
  • Pour the melted cacao butter into the dry ingredients, add maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix well to remove the clumps.
  • Pour chocolate mixture into cupcake molds 1/3 full using only 1/2 of the chocolate mixture.
  • Place molds into the freezer to set while making the almond layer.

Almond Layer

  • Melt the coconut butter double boiler method on the lowest heat setting.
  • Pour melted coconut butter into a small bowl, add raw almond butter, almond extract and agave and whisk with a fork until smooth.
  • Remove cupcake molds from the freezer, pour almond layer on top of chocolate to fill cupcake molds half full.
  • Place back into freezer to set for 15 minutes.
  • Remove cupcake molds from freezer and pour the rest of the chocolate mixture into the molds until full.
  • Place back into freezer and let set for a minimum of one hour.

Notes

You also use cupcake liners in a muffin tin, butter cup molds or line muffin tins with saran wrap! If the rest of the chocolate mixture starts to harden before you use it, put the bowl in a bigger bowl filled with really hot water to re-melt it.
