Coconut Candy
These no-bake chocolate coconut cupcakes are the perfect summer treat, but they can be enjoyed at any time! Just imagine you are lying on the beach of a tropical island, the sun is shining on your skin, you can see coconut palm trees everywhere and the sound of the waves calms you. You bite into one of these “coconutty” cups which melts in your mouth and your taste buds are about to scream with joy… Sorry to burst the bubble, as you are probably not lying on the beach right now, but trust me when I say that this coconut candy tastes amazing wherever you are. If you love coconut, this recipe is definitely for you.
I am obsessed with coconuts, they are my favorite ingredient in desserts and as a child, I always loved eating Bounty bars. Do you know the delicious coconut candy bars? Well, I actually have a recipe for vegan bounty bars which is quite similar and covered in chocolate!
No-bake recipes are great, especially when it’s warmer outside. But they are also perfect for people who don’t have an oven or prefer no-bake treats over baked desserts. Making these mini coconut cakes is super simple and requires only a few ingredients!
How To Make Vegan Coconut Cups?
I prefer making these cups in a food processor. The process is very quick and easy! STEP 1: Add all ingredients for the chocolate layer to your food processor. Blend for some seconds until the mixture is crumbly and slightly sticky.
STEP 2: Transfer the dough to a muffin pan and press it down firmly.
STEP 3: Blend all the ingredients for the coconut layer (desiccated coconut, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, and coconut oil) in your blender for some seconds. You can also use a food processor, as I did.
STEP 4: Spoon the filling onto the chocolate layer and slightly press it down. Put the pan in the freezer for at least one hour to set.
