Coconut Base
- Add coconut and condensed milk into a bowl.
- Combine until all the coconut is covered with condensed milk and they form a firm, sticky mixture.
- Add two spoonfuls of the coconut mixture into a each hole of the lined muffin/cupcake pan. Press using the back of a spoon compact the mixture and level from the top.
- Put the muffin pan in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- While you are waiting, melt your chocolate chips in the microwave at 20 seconds increments, stirring in between intervals. Set melted chocolate aside.
- Take out the muffin pan from the freezer. Spread a spoonful of raspberry chia seed jam onto the coconut layer. Put the muffin pan back in the freezer for 5 minutes.

- Put them back in the freezer for another 5 minutes.
- That's it. Enjoy your delicious treats.
