Why do my chocolate cups not set properly?

Ensure you spread two layers of chocolate, especially around the walls, and chill thoroughly in the fridge between layers and after adding the top chocolate.

Can I adjust the sweetness of the tahini filling?

Yes, the recipe uses sugar-free or maple syrup; you can adjust the amount to your preference or use a different liquid sweetener.

What type of protein powder works best for these cups?

Any plant-based protein powder should work, but a neutral or chocolate-flavored one will complement the existing flavors well.

Is maca powder essential, or can I use other superfood powders?

Maca powder is optional; feel free to substitute it with other superfood powders of your choice, or omit it entirely.

How should I store these Gooey Chocolate Protein Cups?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer enjoyment.

How to Prepare Gooey Chocolate Protein Cups [Vegan]

Melt the chocolate over low heat in a heat proof bowl. Use a spoon to spread a layer of chocolate into 4 large silicone muffin cups. Place in the fridge to set. Spread a second layer around the walls to create a thicker layer. Place into the fridge. Make the filling.
Whisk all the filling ingredients together until smooth. Spoon into the 4 cups. Place into the freezer to firm up - at least 30 minutes. Spread chocolate over the top. Place into the fridge for at least 3 hours for the filling to properly firm up!
