Cashew Butter Cup Ingredients
Dark Chocolate: Feel free to use dark chocolate chips, chunks, or your favorite dark chocolate bar. If you prefer the taste and flavor, you could use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. If you do decide to go with milk chocolate, just know that the flavor of the cups will be slightly different.
Coconut Oil: This ingredient is added to the dark chocolate to help smooth it out a bit. It also helps the chocolate harden once it is cooled and frozen.
Cashew Butter: Use a smooth and creamy cashew butter, with minimal ingredients, for this recipe. Ideally, you want the cashew butter to be made from only cashews and maybe a little sea salt.
Raspberry Jam: You can use your favorite raspberry jam of choice in this recipe. I like to use one that has been minimally sweetened and has very few ingredients.

Description
Dark chocolate raspberry cashew butter cups made with dark chocolate, creamy all-natural cashew butter, and sweet, yet tart, raspberry jam. These cups are incredibly easy to make and the perfect healthier treat!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cashew butter
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second increments until completely melted and smooth.
- Fill a regular size muffin tin with paper liners. Use a tablespoon measure to pour a small amount of the melted chocolate (1-2 tablespoons) into the paper cups. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for around 10 minutes or until the bottom chocolate layer has hardened a bit.
- Next, drop a small spoonful of the cashew butter (1-2 teaspoons) into the center of each cup and then a small spoonful of raspberry preserves (1-2 teaspoons) into the center of the cashew butter.
- Top the cashew cups with the remaining chocolate (roughly 1 tablespoon).
- If any cashew butter or raspberry preservers are sticking up, just gently press it down so each cup has a smooth top layer of chocolate. Freeze for one hour or until solid. Store in the freezer.
