Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Almond Butter Use freshly ground almond butter with no additives for the creamiest consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Adds sweetness; maple syrup serves as a great vegan substitute.
For the Coconut Shell
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil Provides richness, ensuring a smooth texture.
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut Forms the base; store-bought coconut butter can also be used.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Sweetens the shell; can substitute with coconut sugar or omit.
  • 2 tablespoons High-Quality Matcha Powder Brings that distinct earthy flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds a warm note enhancing sweetness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt Elevates overall flavor.
Optional Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Toasted Almonds Sprinkle on top for crunch and added nutty flavor.

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tray
  • Microwavable bowl
  • High-powered blender

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the muffin tray by lining a mini muffin tray with 16 paper liners.
  2. In a microwavable bowl, combine almond butter with honey and coconut oil. Heat for about 30-45 seconds until bubbling, stir until well combined, and let cool before placing in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Blend unsweetened shredded coconut in a high-powered blender for 2-3 minutes until creamy, then add melted coconut oil, granulated sugar, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Blend until smooth.
  4. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the coconut mixture into each muffin liner to form a base. Form small discs of the almond butter filling and place one on top of each coconut base, then top with another teaspoon of the coconut mixture.
  5. Freeze the assembled cups for 10-15 minutes until set. Transfer to the fridge for optimal enjoyment.
