Vegan Red Velvet Chocolates {Vegan}
A simple, 4-ingredient treat for Valentine's Day to make for your sweetie that requires no baking!
Equipment
- 1 small pot
- 1 large heat-proof bowl stainless steel or glass
- freezer
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips I use the Costco Kirkland brand
- 1-2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup Red Velvet Nut Butter Spreads by Cede
- 1/2 cup jam
- sea salt or freeze dried berries for garnish
Instructions
- Fill the bottom of a small saucepan with 1-2" of water and place over medium high heat and bring to a boil.
- Over the saucepan of boiling water, place your heatproof bowl, and into that, place the chocolate chips and the coconut oil.
- Allow everything to melt down together, stirring occasionally until it's a smooth mixture.
- While the chocolate is melting, get out your muffin tin and line it with 6-9 cupcake liners. Reserve 1/3 for filling the tops.
- Once the chocolate is melted, place 1-2 tbsp of melted chocolate in each cup and then carefully swirl it around to coat up the sides. Also, if you're too lazy to do this, the recipe tastes great as a kind of chocolate sandwich, chocolate layers on top and bottom, filling in the middle.
- Place the muffin tin the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and pop 1-2 tbsp of the red velvet nut butter in each of the chocolate cups, then top that with 1-2 tbsp of jam. Place it back in the freezer for a few minutes to set.
- You may need to reheat the chocolate a little to make it runny enough to top the filling.
- Remove the cups from the freezer and top with the remainder of the chocolate, again, about 1-2 tbsp per cup.
- Garnish with crushed freeze-dried berries or a sprinkle of salt.
- Place in the freezer for another 10 minutes to set, and then serve.
- You may want to allow them to warm up before serving (depending on how cold you like things), and store any leftovers in the freezer.
