Description

Delicious and creamy Chocolate Pumpkin Butter Cups combine the cozy flavors of pumpkin spice with rich chocolate layers. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients like almond butter and pumpkin puree, these delightful treats are perfect for autumn snack cravings or festive dessert bites.

Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Spice Filling

  • 1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/3 Cup Almond Butter (Any nut butter will work! You can also use Sunbutter.)
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey (You can also swap for maple syrup.)
  • 2 Teaspoons Pumpkin Spice

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. Pumpkin Spice Filling: Start by microwaving the almond butter for about 30 seconds to soften it, which helps it blend smoothly. In a bowl, combine the warmed almond butter, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin spice. Use a whisk or hand mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside while preparing the chocolate.
  2. Melting Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small heatproof glass bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate is melted and fully smooth.
  3. Assembling Chocolate Pumpkin Cups: Pour a thin layer of the melted chocolate into each silicone mold or mini cupcake liner. Place the molds in the freezer for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate set firmly.
  4. Adding Filling: Transfer the pumpkin spice mixture into a plastic baggie and cut a small hole in one corner. Pipe the filling evenly over the set chocolate layer in each mold. Return the molds to the freezer and allow them to set for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Finishing with Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the pumpkin filling layer, covering it completely. Freeze the assembled cups for 1 to 2 hours, or until the center layer is firm and the cups are fully set. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter such as peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.
  • Maple syrup can be used instead of honey to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
  • Use a silicone mold for easy removal of the butter cups once frozen.
  • Store the finished cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them firm.
  • Adjust pumpkin spice according to your taste preference for a stronger or milder spice flavor.
