1.5 tablespoons of coconut oil in a paste form

A quarter cup of pure maple syrup

A pinch of pink salt

How to prepare a base layer:

Preheat oven to 180 on turbo mode.

Mix everything together into a smooth dough.

Using a spoon, pour into the ecological sleeves and press down with your hand to the bottom.

Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden. Remove and cool.

Filling ingredients:

In a bowl, melt 200 grams of dark chocolate 70-85%

With half a cup of raw tahini, preferably whole

2 tablespoons of spread of your choice: nougat/hazelnut/natural peanut butter

A quarter cup of pure maple syrup

A teaspoon of vanilla extract

Two tablespoons of plant-based milk (I used unsweetened soy)

A pinch of coarse salt for garnishing on top - optional

How to prepare the filling:

It is a good idea to start melting the chocolate together with the tahini and milk, and when the chocolate is almost completely melted, add the remaining ingredients and mix a little to combine.

Pour the frosting over the baked base layer found in the If You Care muffin tins.

Freeze for 30-90 minutes.

Then transfer to the refrigerator until serving (be careful not to forget them in the freezer)
