Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup coconut butter Can substitute with chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries Thaw and strain excess liquid if using frozen
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Almond extract can be used for variation
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk Any variety (almond, oat, soy) can be used
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup dark chocolate Ensure it's dairy-free for a vegan option

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • Microwave or Double Boiler
  • mixing bowl
  • Cupcake Liners

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop fresh or thawed cherries, reserving half for later. Pulse the remaining cherries with coconut butter, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring every 20 seconds or continuously stirring on stovetop until fully melted.
  3. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Pour half of the melted chocolate into each liner to form a base, and freeze for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once chocolate base is set, spoon about ½ tablespoon of cherry filling into each cup, flattening it slightly.
  5. Cover each cup completely with remaining melted chocolate, tapping the tray gently to remove air bubbles.
  6. Freeze again for about 10 minutes until set, then they will easily slide from the liners.

Notes

Chop cherries finely to integrate smoothly. Use a microwave or double boiler for melting chocolate carefully to avoid burning. Use muffin liners for easy removal and freeze layers properly for clean separation.
