Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Melt Butters: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the coconut butter and almond butter together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, matcha powder, shredded coconut, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly blended.
- Prepare Molds: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- Fill Cups: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each paper-lined cup. Tap the tray gently on the counter to level the tops and remove air bubbles.
- Chill: Refrigerate the filled cups for at least 1 hour or until firm and set.
- Store and Serve: Keep the cups chilled in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For extra texture, sprinkle additional shredded coconut or chopped almonds on top before chilling.
- Cashew butter or peanut butter can be used as substitutes for almond butter according to taste preferences.
- Use ceremonial-grade matcha powder to achieve the brightest flavor and vibrant green color.
