Ingredients
  

Chocolate Crust
  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil melted
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
Chocolate Mousse
  • 1 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream chilled
  • 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Raspberry Layer
  • 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, for thickening
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup
Chocolate Shell Topping
  • 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt for garnish

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Silicone muffin liners
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or whisk

Method
 

  1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone liners. In a bowl, mix cookie crumbs, melted butter, cocoa powder, and salt. Press 1-1.5 tablespoons of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each cup. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  2. Whip the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the melted, slightly cooled chocolate until combined. Spoon the mousse over the chilled crusts. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, smash the fresh raspberries, honey, and chia seeds together with a fork. Let sit for 5 minutes, then spoon evenly over the set mousse layer.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the raspberry layer to seal each cup. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely set. Carefully remove the silicone liners before serving.

Notes

Silicone liners are highly recommended for easy removal. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
