irresistible Obsession Worthy Chocolate Almond Butter Freezer Cups (vegan + no-bake)
if you love almond butter cups and chocolate, you’re going to be obsessed with these no-bake almond butter chocolate cups.
they’re layered, luscious, and completely plant-based—with better-for-you ingredients that don’t sacrifice taste.
what they taste like
imagine the rich chew of a brownie base, topped with silky smooth chocolate filling and finished with a thick, creamy almond butter cup layer.
every bite melts in your mouth, combining deep chocolate flavor with the nutty warmth of almond butter and just the right amount of natural sweetness.
they’re decadent, but not too heavy—satisfying in every way.

let’s talk texture
these are all about layers:
- the base is soft, fudgy, and just a little chewy thanks to the dates and almond flour combo.
- the filling is ultra smooth, light, and chocolatey—made from coconut cream and naturally sweetened with medjool dates.
- the topping has that classic almond butter cup vibe, but with a soft bite that gives way to the creaminess below.
they hold together perfectly when chilled and feel like a total treat without the sugar crash. the key is to let them thaw long enough so you get that ice cream like texture.
how to make them
all you need is a food processor, a muffin pan or silicone molds, and some fridge or freezer space.
- start with the base: blend almond flour, flax, almond butter, dates, cocoa powder, dairy-free milk, and vanilla until a dough forms. press it into your molds and freeze.
- make the filling: blend thick coconut cream with cocoa powder and medjool dates until creamy and smooth. spoon it into the base and freeze again.
- finish with the topping: melt chocolate chips, stir in almond butter and maple syrup, then thicken with coconut flour. make into cups and freeze. cut into pieces, add to the filling and let everything set.
these cups are freezer-friendly and no baking is required—ideal for summer or whenever you need a chocolate fix fast.
substitution ideas
- nut-free: swap almond flour and almond butter with sunflower seed flour and sunflower seed butter.
- no coconut flour? use oat flour or almond flour to thicken the topping.
- different sweeteners: you can use maple syrup, date syrup, or even a touch of agave.
- no flax meal? try ground chia seeds for a similar texture in the base.
- other toppings: swirl in a little jam or sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a twist.

why they’re better for you
these almond butter chocolate cups are sweetened with medjool dates and maple syrup, making them free from refined sugars.
they’re made with real, whole ingredients like nuts, seeds, and coconut cream, giving you fiber, healthy fats, and a dose of plant-based protein in every cup.
unlike traditional almond butter cups or many desserts, these are completely dairy-free, gluten-free, and made without preservatives or artificial ingredients.
you get all the indulgence, none of the junk.
storage tips
store the cups in an airtight container in the freezer.
they’ll last up to 2 months, but they’re so good they probably won’t make it that long.
let them thaw for maybe 20 minutes before serving for that ice cream-like texture.

- make the base: add almond flour, flax meal, almond butter, dates, cocoa powder, dairy-free milk, and vanilla to a food processor. blend until a sticky dough forms. divide and press evenly into the bottoms of 8 silicone muffin cups.
- make the almond butter cups: melt the chocolate and spoon into parchment paper muffin cups. bring the chocolate up to the side of the cups and freeze 10 minutes. mix the almond butter, maple syrup and coconut flour, then spoon onto the hardened chocolate. coat with the remaining chocolate and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
