Ingredients
Scale
Raspberry Filling
- 6 oz raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp sweetener of choice
Chocolate Shell
- 6 oz chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars (about 1 cup)
- Optional: 1 tsp vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the raspberry filling: Mash the raspberries thoroughly. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the mashed raspberries, chia seeds, and sweetener. Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot and begins to bubble. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate. If using, stir in the vegetable or coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
- Form the chocolate cups: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or use candy molds. Spoon about a teaspoon of the melted chocolate into each liner, spreading it up the sides to form a thin shell. Refrigerate or freeze for a few minutes until firmly set.
- Add the raspberry filling: Once the chocolate shells have hardened, spoon about two teaspoons of the raspberry chia filling into each cup carefully.
- Seal the cups: Cover the raspberry filling with the remaining melted chocolate, smoothing the tops evenly. Place back in the refrigerator to chill until fully set and firm.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess water before mashing.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener according to your taste preference or dietary needs.
- The optional oil helps to achieve a glossier, smoother chocolate texture but can be omitted.
- For best results, use high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate.
- Store finished cups in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days.
- If you like, dust with cocoa powder or garnish with a fresh raspberry before serving.
