Ingredients

Scale

For the Cup Shell

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp raw honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the Filling and Topping

  • 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shell Mixture: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir to form a crumbly dough that holds together when pressed.
  2. Form and Bake the Shells: Press the dough gently into the bottoms and up the sides of each muffin liner to create a thin, even shell. Bake for 5–7 minutes until edges turn light golden brown and smell nutty. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Break dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until glossy and well combined.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Yogurt: Gently fold Greek yogurt and a pinch of sea salt into the melted chocolate, stirring just until combined to maintain smoothness.
  5. Fill the Shells: Drizzle about three-quarters full of the chocolate mixture into each pre-baked shell. Before the chocolate sets, add a teaspoon of fresh raspberry puree (made by mashing half the raspberries) to create a marbled effect within each cup.
  6. Add Fresh Raspberries: Scatter the remaining whole raspberries on top of each cup, pressing lightly so they settle into the chocolate. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the berries for extra flavor.
  7. Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill the cups for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
  8. Unmold and Serve: Run a thin knife around the edge of each cup to loosen it, then lift onto serving plates. Optionally, dust cups with cocoa nibs or finely chopped toasted almonds for added crunch and visual appeal. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a damp fingertip to smooth the dough shells without cracking.
  • Do not over-mix the chocolate and yogurt mixture to avoid seizing.
  • Fresh raspberries add tartness and visual beauty; use ripe, firm berries for best results.
  • Chilling is essential to ensure the chocolate cups set properly and hold their shape.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup, and use a non-dairy yogurt alternative.
