Chocolate Shell
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free dark chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
Soft Creamy Center
- 3/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter or almond or sunflower butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt pinch
Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each silicone cup. Use the back of a spoon or a pastry brush to push the chocolate up the sides. Freeze for 10 minutes until firm.
In a clean bowl, whisk together the yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and creamy.
Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling into each frozen chocolate shell. Smooth the tops gently. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of remaining melted chocolate over each cup, spreading to fully seal the filling. Rewarm chocolate gently if needed.
Freeze for 30–40 minutes until fully set.
Let cups sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating to allow the center to soften slightly and the shell to crack cleanly.
Serving Size: 1 frozen chocolate crack cup.
For best texture, use full-fat yogurt or coconut yogurt. Low-fat yogurt freezes icy.
Silicone molds are essential for clean release—paper liners will stick.
Let cups soften briefly before eating for the best crack-and-cream contrast.
