Birthday Cake Batter Reeses
Ingredients
- For the cake layer:
- 2 tbsp coconut flour (or another flour) (19g)
- pinch salt (1/16 tsp)
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp water (use much less if using a flour other than coconut flour)
- For the filling:
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cashew butter (or nut butter of choice)
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1/2 packet stevia or 2 tsp powdered sugar (omit for a less-sweet result)
- optional: sprinkles
- For the chocolate coating:
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp cocoa powder (25g)
- 20-30 nunaturals vanilla drops or 2-3 tbsp pure maple syrup or agave
- 1/4 cup liquid virgin coconut oil (Or omit these first three ingredients and simply melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead.) (58g)
Instructions
Make the chocolate coating by stirring ingredients together. Spoon just a little of the chocolate into the bottoms of cupcake liners, mini cupcake liners, or candy molds. Then freeze 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine all cake ingredients in a small bowl and microwave 2 minutes (or more or less, depending on your microwave’s wattage). With a fork, break cake into tiny crumbs. In a separate bowl, combine filling ingredients and stir well. If your nut butter is from the fridge, you may have to microwave a little so it’ll stir more easily. Take liners out of the freezer and top each with filling, then sprinkle on some cake crumbs. (You won’t use anywhere near all the cake crumbs, but I thought this was easier than giving ingredient amounts of 1/64 tsp!) Cover with the rest of the chocolate, and freeze until solid.
Who’s your favorite Alice in Wonderland character?
Everyone seems to love the Cheshire Cat, but my favorite was always the White Rabbit. I also liked the singing flowers and the horn that looked like a platypus. Actually, I don’t remember much else about the movie; it’s been years since I last saw Alice in Wonderland. Now that the Olympics are over, I might have to force my roommate to watch it with me…
LINK OF THE DAY:
Deep Dish Cinnamon Roll Pie (flourless, gf, vegan options)
wow these look amazing. I used to always make homemade reeses when I was younger…never ones like these though! Can’t wait to try..
I made these yesterday but I could not for the life of me get the cake to crumble. I didn’t have coconut flour so I used GF flour. The first came out like a ball of glue, the second batch came out stiff so I tried one more time with white flour and it didn’t work either. So I just made them without the cake and they still tasted great but I want to know how to get the cake part to crumble. I adjusted the water but I wasn’t sure what the consistency was supposed to be so I couldn’t get it to cooperate… 🙂
BTW, thank you for sharing your recipes. My one and a half year old son is dairy intolerant and these recipes have made it possible for him to enjoy the foods and treats everyone else is enjoying and they are so easy that it helps me out too! I have totally changed my diet, with an occasional treat at work or when he is not present, so that he doesn’t want something I am eating and I have to say no. I also adjust his school lunches and send substitutions (which now I can send ranch dressing thanks to you which I even like way better than the dairy ranch) so thank you for making that possible.
I absolutely LOVE your site. You are very talented! Such great ideas, especially for those of us who are gluten free! Thank you so much!
my favorites the caterpiller and i cant wait to try this recipie!
When I made this, I couldn’t get the “cake” part to crumble, it just stayed very doughy. Any suggestions?? Also, don’t burn the chocolate (if you choose to use chocolate chips!) like I did! Make sure you stir the chocolate chips frequently while you are melting them in the microwave. Oops!
Try coconut flour if you can. Otherwise, as written in the recipe, you’ll have to play around with the liquid amounts to get the right cake texture :-?.
Any advice for those of us who don’t have a microwave? Stovetop? Oven? Thanks
All of my favorite things in one! Reese’s, birthday cake, and sprinkles. Just repinned this again for the contest, but I had repinned it when it first came out!
I have a question on these. I made them and I didn’t have enough of the filling to make them as thick as yours. Any suggestions? Other than being a little flat they were delicious!
Not sure if you can tell from the photos, but the ones I made are mini ones. Hence more filling per reeses :).
hey katie this looks amazing! just wondering, do you measure the coconut oil when its solid or liquified? so do you melt the oil first and then mix the coating ingredients??
Liquid 🙂
Is it possible to bake the cake part. If so, for how long and what temp? We don’t own a microwave that works.
