How to Prepare No-Bake Chocolate Pistachio Almond Butter Cups [Vegan]

To Make the Base:

Stick the base ingredients in a food processor, and process until smooth and sticky.
Grab a muffin tray, and grease the holes lightly with coconut oil. Add a strip of parchment paper in each hole before assembling the dessert. This way, you’ll be able to take the cups out of the tray with ease.
Fill four muffin holes with a layer of pistachio dough. Stick in the freezer while preparing the almond butter cream.

To Make the Almond Butter Layer:

Mix all the almond butter cream ingredients until well combined. Take out the tray from the freezer, and top off the pistachio dough with the almond butter cream. Stick tray back in the freezer.

To Make the Chocolate Layer and to Prepare:

Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, and pour evenly over each of the 4 cups. Sprinkle with dehydrated fruit crumbs, if using.
Leave the cups in the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.
