Creamy Coconut Cups
This little treat, inspired by a peanut butter cup, is a perfect bite of indulgence for when you need something small but don’t feel like a big hectic dessert. They are also ridiculously easy to make – I’ve actually been surprised at how many people have told me these have become a weekly staple for them. And I get it! They are pretty good.
