The 21 Day Fix Chocolate pumpkin cups are a clean, delicious treat that blends together my two favorite fall flavors – pumpkin and chocolate! This post contains affiliate links for products I am obsessed with.
My latest round of the 21 Day Fix is over, so it’s time for a CLEAN treat to celebrate!
Well, to be truthful, chocolate is my favorite flavor any time of year, and the pumpkin filling in this dessert is to die for. I will be using this as a base for a new pumpkin pie dessert recipe.
Yup. So stick with me!
I used Shakeology for this, but you can follow the directions for using cocoa powder and coconut oil if you aren’t a Shakeo drinker or if you just want to save every last oz of it for your daily shake. I get it.
With so much candy around this time of year, make a bunch of these and store them in the freezer!

Description
Chocolate pumpkin cups are a clean, delicious treat. Inspired by the Shakeology Peanut Butter cups, these treats blend together my two favorite fall flavors – pumpkin and chocolate!
Ingredients
Chocolate Layer
- 4 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of chocolate Shakeology or 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 4 tsp of maple syrup (if using the cocoa powder)
Pumpkin Layer
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup organic pumpkin purée
- 2 tablespoons almond butter (my bf pb will be too strong of a flavor, in my opinion)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Spray a mini muffin tin with coconut oil spray or line with muffin liners
- Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds or until it’s melted.
- Stir in 4 tablespoons of chocolate Shakeology or cocoa powder and mix well. If using the cocoa powder, add in 2 tsp of maple syrup. Divide the chocolate mixture evenly between approximately 5-6 spots in a muffin tin. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pumpkin layer. Combine all ingredients for pumpkin layer in a small bowl. Mix until well combined. Layer over the chocolate and freeze for 20 minutes or until firm.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in the microwave, then stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons of chocolate Shakeology or cocoa powder and maple syrup.
- Pour over top of pumpkin layer and return pan to freezer for 5 minutes.
- Enjoy straight from the freezer or store in the fridge!

Is there something you can use in place of the coconut oil due to an allergy?

You can try avocado oil!
