Do you remember the Reese’s peanut butter cup challenge? No?

Well, then you probably weren’t 39.86 weeks pregnant, sized approximately as that of actual whale, and trying to avoid induction at all costs. Because, you see, when you’re 39.86 weeks pregnant, sized approximately as that of… well, you know, you’ll do anything to get the [birth] ball rolling. And, thanks to the Internet, there’s a lot of advice out there on how to do just that.

I’d taken walks. I’d ingested evening primrose oil. I’d eaten eggplant parmesan, made to exact specs, of course. I’d done the actual Labor Dance®, and I’d somehow managed to avoid it being recorded…

So why not eat an entire bag of Reese’s peanut butter cups? I mean, those little cups are considered solid gold when it comes to trick-or-treating, and poor Leo might never taste one in his life, or as long as he has mom checking his candy “for safety” first… So what’s the worst that could happen?

Except for… never wanting to see another Reese’s again in my life and having no baby to show for it. Maybe I did it wrong! Maybe it’s on me. And truthfully, I made it through about 1/4 of the bag before giving up and resigning myself to induction. Your mother is weak, little man. A weak, weak woman.

Luckily, though, I fought my Reese’s overdose, and I’m proud to say I’m fully recovered. And while we don’t eat too many of the sugary cups, loaded with all sorts of funky stuff that’s certainly not paleo, I’m still kind of obsessed with chocolate cups stuffed with delicious ingredients. So when I asked myself last week what you could do with my strawberry coconut butter?

Well, the answer was obvious.

Put it in chocolate. Duh.

I melted together Enjoy Life chocolate chips and coconut oil then spooned it into a paper-lined muffin tin. I used the back of the teaspoon to spread the chocolate mixture up the sides of the cupcake liner, then popped them into the freezer. Spoon a simple strawberry coconut butter mixture into the little cups you’ve made, then top with more chocolate and freeze a few more minutes? Boom, done. That’s seriously it.

I topped my chocolate strawberry coconut butter cups with slices of fresh strawberries because I’m phancy, but I also think this helps emphasize the fresh strawberry taste of the cups, too.

Ingredients

Strawberry Coconut Butter Filling

  • ½ cup strawberry coconut butter , get recipe in notes
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 2 cups vegan chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4-5 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, for garnish

Instructions 

  • In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring very well between each burst. Don't over-microwave. Alternately, heat in a double-boiler over simmering water.
  • Spoon chocolate mixture into a paper-lined muffin tin, about 1 teaspoon per cup. Use the back of the teaspoon to gently press the chocolate up the sides of the liners. Make sure that the bottom is evenly covered. Repeat with all 12 liners, then let freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the strawberry coconut butter, maple syrup, and coconut flour, and whisk well. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture into the chilled chocolate cups until all the filling is evenly distributed. Use your fingers to gently flatten the filling slightly.
  • Cover with about 1-1 1/2 teaspoon chocolate to coat. Place a fresh strawberry slice on top in center, then freeze about 10 minutes.
  • Peel off liners gently and eat!

You could definitely make these with plain coconut butter. Try topping them with flake coconut - gorgeous!

    This sounds amazing! I plan on making the filling with store bought jarred coconut butter (attempting turning shredded coconut into creamy butter sounds like something that will be a disaster for me).

    How many strawberries do you recommend blending to the 1/2 cup of coconut butter for the filling? Is the ratio 1:1?

      Hi Rachel! I would start with about 1 cup of strawberries and go from there. You can make it totally custom to your taste, and I definitely don’t think 1 cup is too many! Let me know how it goes 🙂5 stars

        These were just as amazing as they look!!! Thank you!

        I started with 1/4 cup of coconut butter and 1 cup of strawberries. It yielded just enough for the cups plus maybe a few tablespoons. At first it seemed a little runny but stiffened up a bit as it sat and set nicely after adding the coconut flour.

        I will definitely make these again. I do have to say though that 2 cups of chocolate chips was way too much, even following the directions for 1 tea. chocolate for the base and about 1 tbls. on the top. Thankfully I had overripe bananas and left over strawberries I dipped in the extra chocolate and still had about 1/4 cup of chocolate left.5 stars

        Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Rachel! I’m so glad you liked them 🙂 I’m glad you had a little extra chocolate instead of not enough, too! I ended up with none at all left, so maybe I’m a little greedy with my portions ?5 stars
