Chocolate Truffle Cups
This is one of my personal favourite recipes to make. From my days of following a ketogenic diet and loving the texture of smooth buttery fat bombs, it was a springboard from there. Tahini with coconut syrup is also reminiscent of the old days when I would have peanut butter and syrup.
It all makes for a deep chocolaty, buttery truffle in a bed of crispy hazelnut. A mineral-rich treat is sure to satisfy the chocolate lover in you.
