Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup coconut cream (chilled)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are fully blended and the coconut is coated.

    Mold the Mixture: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Divide the coconut mixture evenly among the cups, pressing down firmly to create a solid base.

      Chill: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the coconut base is firm.

        Melt the Chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

          Top the Cups: Once the coconut bases are firm, carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin. Spoon the melted chocolate over each cup, ensuring they are fully covered.

            Sprinkle with Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate layer for a delightful contrast.

              Final Chill: Return the chocolate-covered cups to the refrigerator for at least another 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set.

                Serve & Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the cups from the liners and serve chilled. These are perfect as a sweet snack or a delightful dessert!
