Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons coconut milk (either canned or carton)

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Extra shredded coconut for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and powdered sugar. Pour in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly using a spatula until the ingredients are well combined, forming a crumbly mixture that holds together when pressed.

      Mold the Cups:

        Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease each cavity to ensure easy removal. Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottoms and up the sides of each liner, creating a small cup shape. Ensure the base is compact to support the filling. Place the filled muffin tin in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to set the cups.

          Prepare the Chocolate Filling:

            In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. If you like, sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt for an extra layer of flavor.

              Fill the Cups:

                Once the crusts have set, carefully remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator. Spoon the silky melted chocolate filling into each cup, filling them almost to the brim for a luscious treat.

                  Chill and Garnish:

                    Return the filled cups to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 30 minutes or until the chocolate has solidified completely. Once set, you can adorn each cup with a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut for a nice touch.

                      Serve:

                        Gently lift the chocolate coconut cups out of the muffin tin. They can be served chilled or at room temperature, making them the perfect delightful treat for any occasion!
