Last night I dreamt I was at a party with all my friends, on a boat.
We were all dancing and having a great time when someone was like “there’s raw vegan prizes!” I won these amazing coconut butter cups! In
my dream, this translated to something similar to peanut butter cups,
but the chocolate part was coconut butter, and the filling was dates, nut
butter and cacao. Yum! So I woke up and I thought - “I need to make this”.
Thus today, I made my dreams come true... deliciously, healthily true.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE DATE CUPS
By Emily from This Rawsome Vegan Life | Makes around 4
¼ cup coconut butter
2 tablespoon cashew butter
1 tablespoon almond butter
3 soaked dates
1 tablespoon honey/agave/maple syrup
3 teaspoon cocoa
some vanilla and salt, to taste

1    Melt the about ¹/³ of the coconut butter and pour a very small amount into the bottom of 3 cupcake
papers/molds... perhaps ½ cm? (however much coconut butter you want to be on the bottom)
2    Put these in the fridge. Next, blend all the other ingredients until smooth. Taste it... yum!
3    When the coconut butter has re-hardened in the molds, drop a scoop of the date mixture into
each, make sure they’re not too tall, and don’t touch the sides. Refrigerate again.
4    When they’ve hardened a bit more, pour the rest of the coconut butter over each (you may have
to melt it again). The melted coconut butter should just cover the date mixture.
5    Put ‘em back in the fridge and let them harden up, until they’re white. Then take them out of their
molds and voila! Delicious for your mouth, skin, hair and cells!
