Ingredients
- [b]Custard:[/b]
- 1 can/400 mL full fat coconut milk
- 2 scoops fermented Greek Yogurt proteins + vanilla 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 4 tbsp raw honey
- 2 tbsp ground chia seeds
- [b]Chocolate top/bottom layer:[/b]
- 2 cups organic dark chocolate chips Coconut oil (as needed)
Instructions
- Refrigerate 1-400mL can of full fat coconut milk overnight.
- Scoop out congealed cream at the top of the can. Set can with liquid aside.
- Whip congealed cream with electric mixer or in blender until smooth. Add in remaining custard ingredients. Add in remaining coconut liquid in can, as needed, for desired consistency.
- Let custard sit for 10 minutes (chia seeds absorb any remaining liquid and set custard). Refrigerate until use. Use coconut oil to grease muffin tins/silicone muffin molds.
- In saucepan, heat chocolate chips on low heat to melt fully (stir often to avoid burning). Add coconut oil as needed to achieve easy pouring consistency.
- Pour melted chocolate into greased muffin molds to create pattie base. Chill 15 minutes in freezer.
- Remove muffin molds from freezer and add 1 tbsp of custard; smooth out evenly.
- Pour liquid chocolate on top to create pattie top layer. Garnish with cacao nibs (optional). Chill 15 minutes in freezer.
- When ready to serve, remove from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 15+ minutes. Remove from muffin mold and serve.
Notes
*Makes approximately 1 dozen (depending on size of muffin molds used). They freeze well and taste great when thawed.
