This homemade filling for chocolates is a creamy fudgy center that is only 4 ingredients and can be shaped and coated with chocolate, or pressed into a container and topped. Perfect to make easter eggs on Easter, or hearts on Valentine's day.
Melt the chocolate chips and oil in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until melted. Microwave again at 15 second intervals if you need to.
Pour a bit of chocolate into each mold well, and use a spoon to draw it up. Set the mold in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
½ cup chocolate chips
Make Filling
Add 3 cups of shredded coconut to a high speed blender and process for 2-3 minutes, stirring once or twice until your shredded coconut has turned to a liquidy paste.
1 cup coconut butter
Add the maple syrup and cocoa powder, and process until you have a crumbly mixture.
2 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Build the chocolates
Spoon the filling into each mold or ice cube tray well until it is level. Spoon a bit of liquid chocolate on top and refrigerate until hard, about 30 minutes.
Tip mold over to release. Store the chocolates in the refrigerator, sealed for about a week, or in the freezer long term. Yum!
