Ingredients
Crust
1 cup almond flour
1/3 cup flax meal
1/3 cup runny almond butter
1 cup Medjool dates (pitted)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup dairy-free milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Mousse
1 can (13.5 oz) Edward & Son’s heavy coconut cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder
5 large Medjool dates (pitted)
Raspberry Topping
10 oz frozen raspberries
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Optional Topping
Melted unsweetened chocolate (for drizzling)
Instructions
1. Make the Crust
In a food processor, combine almond flour, flax meal, almond butter, Medjool dates, cocoa powder, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until a thick dough forms.
Press the mixture into parchment-lined cups, shaping it into a base with a slight well in the center. Freeze while preparing the filling.
2. Prepare Chocolate Mousse
Blend coconut cream, cocoa powder, and Medjool dates until completely smooth and creamy.
Fill each crust cup with the chocolate mousse mixture. Return to the freezer and set for about 2 hours.
3. Make Raspberry Chia Topping
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, water, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Cook for 6–8 minutes until thickened and jam-like.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
4. Assemble Cups
Once mousse is set, spoon raspberry topping over each cup.
Optional: drizzle melted dark chocolate on top for extra richness.
5. Final Set
Freeze again for a few minutes to firm up the topping.
Serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure dates are soft for easier blending (soak in warm water if needed).
Coconut cream should be thick (use only solid part if separated).
These cups soften quickly at room temperature—serve chilled.
Maple syrup is optional depending on desired sweetness.
