RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS: Chocolate Matcha Cups

Total Prep Time: About 30 minutes

Servings: 12

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bag chocolate chips (12 ounces)
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Filling:

• 1 box (7 ounces) creamed coconut (we used “Let's Do Organic” brand)
• 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon Sencha Naturals Organic Matcha Powder

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium saucepan, heat chocolate chips and coconut oil until completely melted. 
2. Pour chocolate into the bottom layer of mini muffin liners (about 1/2 Tablespoon into each cup) and freeze to set. (You will have chocolate left over, to be used for the third layer)
3. While the chocolate is setting, make your filling by melting creamed coconut in a double boiler (see notes). Stir in matcha, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
4. Remove chocolate from freezer and add the matcha filling on top (about 1/2 Tablespoon). 
5. Add remaining chocolate on the top, and place in freezer or refrigerate for 10-20 minutes until set. Enjoy! (Be sure to store leftovers in the fridge so they don't melt.)
