Are you sick of homemade chocolate cups yet? I hope not… I just cannot help it, you guys. I shared my recipe for a homemade turmeric latte and now I just can’t stop with the turmeric.

I was snacking on one of these purple potato cups last week when I had this revelation that I needed to create a golden milk stuffed chocolate cup. I had just made a fresh batch of cashew butter and basically the rest is history.

Cashew butter + golden milk flavors + dark chocolate = winning at life.

  • coconut oil
  • cashew butter
  • golden milk spices

And just like all of my other chocolate cup recipes, this comes together nice and easy. Not to mention quick! After melting the chocolate and scooping in the little golden milk cashew butter balls, these cups are ready to enjoy in about 5 minutes after setting in the freezer.

And they’re SO GOOD. Seriously, I’m obsessed with this golden milk and chocolate combo. I hope you try them!

Servings 12

Ingredients

for the chocolate:

  • 10 oz bag dairy-free dark chocolate chips, I used Enjoy Life
  • 2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil

for the filling:

  • 1/4 cup creamy cashew butter, I used homemade
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line mini muffin pan with 12 paper liners, set aside.
  • In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in about 20 second increments, stirring in between until chips have completely melted. (You can also melt in a small saucepan on stove over low heat, or a double boiler. Just be careful not to burn your chips whichever method you prefer!)
  • Scoop about 1 tsp of melted chocolate into 12 muffin liners. Transfer pan to freezer and allow chocolate to set for 5 minutes.
  • While bottom chocolate layer sets, make your filling: In a small bowl, mix together creamy cashew butter with spices and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Take muffin pan out of freezer. Using ½ teaspoon, scoop a rounded ball of the golden milk cashew butter (equal to about 1 tsp) and place on solid chocolate. Gently press butter down a little bit with back of teaspoon to flatten. Cover in more melted chocolate, about another teaspoon. Transfer pan back to freezer for another 5 minutes until set.
  • I like to store my chocolate cups in the fridge, then allow to come to room temperature before eating. Enjoy!

    Absolutely love these!! I’ve made them dozens of times and adjust the spices to my personal taste (more cinnamon and cardamom!). I also like to add some salt on top along with a slight sprinkling of turmeric. They get rave reviews whenever I share (which isn’t often-ha).

    These are delicious! I love the addition of the tumeric. I made them with half the amount of chocolate and they still came out great.

    I love your recipes! Wondering if I can sub matcha powder instead of turmeric and other spices? If so should I add maple syrup for sweetness?
    I don’t have coconut butter, otherwise I would follow your recipe for matcha chocolate cups.
    Thanks!

      Hi Jackie! Thanks so much for your comment and compliment! 🙂 you can definitely use matcha in place of turmeric here. I would personally just taste the matcha -cashew butter mixture before adding it into the chocolate cups. That way you can see whether or not you prefer that little hint of sweetness. If anything, maybe 1/2 TBS? But adjust to your liking! Hope that helps. Let me know how it goes!

    This is AMAZING. Chocolate cups are my favorite to make – they are so easy and fun – and I’ve totally hopped on the turmeric train and am trying to put it in everything. Soooo this is basically my dream come true.
