What makes these chocolate cups 'raw'?

These cups are considered raw because all ingredients, including cocoa powder and raspberries, are used in their uncooked state, and no heat is applied during preparation.

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?

The recipe specifies 1/2 cup of raspberries, which can be fresh or thawed frozen. If using fresh, ensure they are ripe and sweet for the best flavor in the filling.

Can I use a different sweetener instead of stevia powder?

The recipe specifically uses stevia powder for both the raspberry filling and the coconut-cocoa cups. While you could experiment with other powdered sweeteners, this recipe is formulated for stevia's sweetness profile.

How long do these Raw Chocolate Raspberry Cups need to chill?

The cups require several hours of refrigeration to set properly. For a very solid texture, especially if you prefer them firmer, you can freeze them instead.

Are silicone cupcake moulds essential for this recipe?

Silicone cupcake moulds are recommended for easy removal of the cups once set. While other moulds could work, silicone makes it much simpler to pop out the delicate raw chocolate cups.

How to Prepare Raw Chocolate Raspberry Cups [Vegan]

For the filling: combine the raspberries, water, 1/2 tablespoon of stevia and 5 tablespoons of cocoa powder in a blender. Whizz until smooth.
For the cups: take two (silicone) cupcake moulds. In a bowl, combine the shredded coconut, stevia and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, as well as a smidgen of water, and mix it all together with your hands. Coat the inside of the cupcakes moulds with this paste.
Fill the moulds with the raspberry chocolate cream and refrigerate for several hours (or freeze them if you want them to be very solid), then serve.
