Recipe Steps

55 min

  • Step 1

    Start by making the strawberry jam. Slice the strawberries in half and add to a medium saucepan with the water.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Bring to a boil and continue to boil rapidly until the strawberries are soft enough to mash with a fork (about 4 minutes). Reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring regularly and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the strawberries are reduced to a thick jam (about 4 minutes). Reserve to one side to cool completely.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    While the strawberries are cooling, add the coconut oil, xylitol, salt and cocoa powder to a food processor. Blend on a medium setting until you have a thick, runny chocolate sauce consistency.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Arrange 9 mini cupcake cases and spoon ½ teaspoon of chocolate sauce into the base of each case, as level as you can, covering the bottom completely.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Place the cupcake cases into the fridge to chill for 5 minutes until set. Reserve the remaining chocolate mixture to one side at room temperature.
  • Step 6

    Remove the cases from the fridge and spoon 1/3 of a teaspoon of peanut butter on top of each chocolate layer, pressing down flat.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Spoon 1/3 teaspoon of strawberry jam on top of each peanut butter layer.
    Step 7
  • Step 8

    To finish, spoon 1 teaspoon of chocolate mixture over the top of each cup, completely covering the jam and peanut butter.
    Step 8
  • Step 9

    Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to set.
    Step 9

      What kind of coconut oil is supposed to be used in this? The color and consistency we are getting is much lighter and runnier than the pictures show. It's great otherwise!

        Can stevia be used as a sweetener?

          Hello, all the recipe has only been tested with xylitol, I cannot see why you wouldn't be able to use other sweeteners just as well within the recipe!
