Made with rich vegan chocolate, smooth peanut butter, and vibrant jam, this recipe is quick to prepare, customizable, and ideal for a guilt-free snack or elegant homemade gift.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell:

  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet, at least 60% cocoa)

Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Jam Layer:

  • 2 tablespoons your favorite vegan jam (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, or preferred)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the chocolate

    Gently melt the vegan chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy. This creates the luscious base that will encase your peanut butter and jam filling.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the peanut butter filling

    In a bowl, combine creamy natural peanut butter with powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until smooth, sweet, and spreadable with a thick consistency.

  3. Step 3: Form the chocolate cups

    Using a silicone muffin tray or paper liners, spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each cup. Tilt the tray so the chocolate spreads evenly up the sides to form a sturdy shell. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.

  4. Step 4: Add the peanut butter and jam layers

    Spoon a dollop of the peanut butter mixture into each set chocolate cup, smoothing gently. Then add a small spoonful of your chosen jam on top, being careful not to overfill to keep layers distinct.

  5. Step 5: Seal with chocolate and chill

    Cover each cup with another layer of melted chocolate to seal in the filling. Tap the tray lightly to smooth tops and remove air bubbles. Return to the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes to fully set.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality vegan chocolate to ensure smooth texture and rich flavor.
  • Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter for the best taste and texture.
  • Don’t skip the pinch of sea salt as it balances sweetness perfectly.
  • Use just enough jam to add flavor without making cups soggy.
  • Chill each layer between steps to maintain clean, defined layers and a neat presentation.
