Creating Matcha Cashew Chocolate Cups is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare Cashews: Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.
2. Make Filling: In a blender or food processor, blend the soaked cashews, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and matcha until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted, stirring between each interval.
4. Prepare Molds: Line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners or silicone molds for easy removal.
5. Add Chocolate Layer: Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mold, covering the base evenly.
6. Add Filling: Spoon the matcha cashew filling on top of the chocolate layer in each mold, smoothing it out to be even.
7. Top with Chocolate: Pour additional melted chocolate over the cashew filling, ensuring it is fully covered.
8. Chill: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate cups are set.
9. Optional Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.
10. Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the cups from the molds to serve!
