How to Prepare Chocolate Pistachio Cups [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  1. For pistachio paste, first toast pistachios on a large baking tray in the oven for about 5 minutes on 390°F.
  2. After you remove them from the oven, let them cool and then transfer them to your food processor. Process them for about 5- 10 minutes (depending on your food processor) and add agave syrup and salt.
  3. Process more until paste is formed, similar to marzipan in texture.
  4. You will have more pistachio paste than you actually need but otherwise, the processor wouldn't work with smaller quantity.
  5. For raw chocolate, put coconut oil, cacao powder and maple syrup in a small pan and heat it over low heat until it's all melted and combined. Set aside.
  6. To make the cups, prepare muffin tin with six muffin liners.
  7. First put a small quantity of melted raw chocolate on the bottom of each muffin liner and place it in the freezer for about 5 min until firm.
  8. Remove from freezer and put another thin layer of melted raw chocolate in each cup.
  9. Then put about half tablespoon of pistachio paste in the middle of each cup and finish it by drizzling more chocolate until pistachio paste is completely covered.
  10. Put in the freezer for 5 minutes so it firms up a little bit.
  11. Add toppings: chopped pistachios, cacao nibs, and flaky sea salt and put back in the freezer until the cups are completely firm (at least 1-2 hours).
  12. After that keep them in the refrigerator as coconut oil in raw chocolate melts very quickly on room temperature.
