Rich chocolate peanut butter and jelly cups are layered with creamy peanut butter and homemade raspberry jam for an easy no-bake dessert everyone loves.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
Jam filling
- 2/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Peanut butter layer
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Chocolate layer
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the raspberries and honey to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the chia seeds, and set aside.
- Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds, stir, and microwave again in 20 second increments until completely melted (about 40-60 seconds total).
- Add the peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 15-20 seconds until soft and smooth (this makes it easier to add to cups).
- Next, add 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate to each muffin cup. Spread evenly on the bottom of the cup, and carefully spread a thin layer on the sides to create the chocolate "cup".
- Next, add 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter and about 1/2 teaspoon jam to the center of each cup.
- Finish by topping with 1 teaspoon chocolate. Smooth the tops with the back of a clean spoon.
- Refrigerate to set the cups for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
- The recipe makes a total of 24 cups. Nutritional information is based on a serving of 2 cups.
- Let the jam cool slightly before assembling. Warm jam can melt the chocolate layers and make the cups harder to assemble.
- Don't make the chocolate layers too thick. A thinner chocolate shell gives the cups a softer bite and keeps the flavors balanced.
- Silicone liners work best. They make it much easier to remove the cups cleanly once chilled.
- Store chilled for the best texture. The cups hold their shape best straight from the fridge or freezer.
