NO-BAKE Copycat “Hostess” Collagen Cupcakes

Kimberly Peverell

NO-BAKE Copycat “Hostess” Collagen Cupcakes

Gluten Free and 8 grams of PURE Protein per serving :)

Servings: 10 BIG cupcakes :)

 

Chocolate Base:

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup flax meal

*4 scoops PURE unflavored collagen

1/2 cup runny peanut butter (can sub for almond or sunflower)

1 cup medjool dates, pitted (~9 dates)

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/3 cup + dairy-free milk (add more as needed)

 

*if you OMIT the collagen, you will likely need to add more flax meal. This will change the consistency.

 

Filling:

1/3 cup cream cheese of choice (dairy free, low fat, neufchâtel) @ room temperature

*the extra cream cheese can be used for a swirl on top!

 

Ganache Frosting:

2/3 cup Lily’s dark chocolate chips

1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk (no exceptions)

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a food processor, add all chocolate base ingredients. Blend until you can form a smooth doughy ball with your fingers. Add more milk if the consistency is too grainy.
  2. Line a 12 ct. muffin tin with paper cups. Press half of the chocolate dough into the bottom of each cup, forming an even layer. I used a heaping tablespoon for the base.
  3. Place a heaping teaspoon full of room temp cream cheese in the center of each cupcake base. Freeze the cupcakes for 15 minutes to 1 hour or until the cream cheese has hardened.
  4. Add the remaining chocolate dough on top, covering the cream cheese filling completely.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the ganache over the top of each cupcake, spreading evenly. Freeze the cupcakes for another 10-15 minutes so the ganache can set. Be patient… it’s worth it!
  7. Optional - with the leftover cream cheese, pipe a cute design or swirl on top!
  8. Store the cupcakes in the refrigerator… although they won’t last long! ENJOY!
