If you already love the sound of these bites then skip ahead to the recipe card below. Or, first let’s discuss the recipe in more detail.
What ingredients do I need?
See the “shop the recipe” section for a link to my favourite brands and products and here’s what we need:
- Dark chocolate: use your favourite dairy-free chocolate for these cups. I prefer dark chocolate but any chocolate is great.
- Coconut oil: this is for melting with the chocolate so that it sets more quickly and melts in your mouth more easily rather than cracking.
- Peanut butter: or our favourite nut or seed butter for a gooey, oozy layer. I like a crunchy-smooth nut butter for texture.
- Thick coconut yoghurt: this is the key to the best FroYo cups, so make sure it’s thick and creamy. I use the Cocos Organic yoghurt either the strawberry, vanilla or natural one for these cups.
- Vegan protein powder: this is also the secret ingredient to make the creamiest, thickest and most luxurious FroYo filling (and makes the cups high in protein). I use Form protein powders and the vanilla is best here.
- Strawberries: slice the strawberries and add to the cups for a fruity middle.
Are they gluten-free and nut-free?
Yes these are gluten-free, just check your ingredients are free from gluten. Make them nut-free by using tahini or sunflower seed butter and check that your other ingredients do not contain nuts.
How do I make them?
These are so quick and easy:
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil: and use half to coat the inside and sides of the cupcake cases.
- Chill in the freezer: for 10 minutes until set.
- Whisk the yoghurt and protein powder: till smooth and thick.
- Spoon some peanut butter in each chocolate case: and top with the protein mouse and a slice of strawberry.
- Cover with the remaining melted chocolate: and set again in the freezer.
- Eat from the freezer or fridge: and enjoy.
How long will they last?
These will keep for 1 month in the freezer (in a saleable bag) or for 1 week in the fridge, in a sealed container.
