Step-by-step instructions
Ready to create these mouthwatering Healthy Twix Cups? Follow these easy steps:
- Start by lining a mini muffin tin with paper liners. This will be your Twix cup mold!
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir until you form a sticky dough.
- Press a small amount of this dough into each lined cup to create a solid base, then pop them in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
- While that’s chilling, whip up the caramel layer! In another bowl, mix together almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and spoon the almond butter mixture over each chilled base layer. Return to the freezer for another 15 minutes to set.
- It’s time for the chocolate! Melt the dark chocolate chips and a teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over each cup, making sure to fully cover the caramel layer. Chill in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes until everything is set.
- Once ready, store these delicious Healthy Twix Cups in the fridge or freezer until it’s time to treat yourself!
How to serve Healthy Twix Cups
These Healthy Twix Cups are perfect as they are, but you can elevate the presentation by drizzling some extra melted chocolate on top or sprinkling with sea salt for an added touch.
