    Mix or whisk the topping ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Pour even amounts of the mixture on top of the base in each cupcake mold.

  5. 5

    Garnish with sliced almond, cacao nibs, or unsweetened coconut flakes.

  6. 6

    Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes and enjoy straight from the freezer. Store covered in the freezer for up to 3 months.
