I love recipes like this one during these hot summer months. One of the main reasons being that they are no bake. I am extremely reluctant to turn on my oven lately. If you are like me and love no bake recipes, you can try out my Rice Krispies Peanut Butter Balls or my Peanut Butter Truffles.
Another reason I love recipes like this is they only take 5 minutes to make. And you know that I'm all about relaxing during my summer holiday. The less it takes to make food, the better!

Key Ingredients
- Nutella: The main ingredient! You can substitute whatever chocolate hazelnut spread that you like. You can also use another sweet spread like Biscoff.
- Coconut Oil: This helps firm up the Nutella cups.
- Almonds: Whole almonds are best for that extra crunch, but slivered almonds would also work well.
How to make Almond Mini Nutella Cups
- Step 1: In a medium microwave safe bowl, microwave the Nutella and coconut oil in 30 second intervals, mixing until smooth.
- Step 2: Divide the Nutella mixture evenly in a paper lined mini muffin pan. Place an almond on top of each cup and freeze until hardened.
Almond Mini Nutella Cups Expert Tips
Make sure you use coconut oil. Canola, vegetable or avocado oil will not work in place of coconut oil. Because coconut oil hardens when cold, it is the ideal binder for these Nutella cups.
Want a stronger coconut flavor? Use virgin or unrefined coconut oil. If you don't want that coconut taste, try using refined coconut oil.
Make sure you use paper liners. If you skip the paper liners, the Nutella cups will get stuck to the mini muffin pan and will be near impossible to get out. If you really didn't want to use paper liners, you will need to use a mini silicone muffin pan.
Swap out the almonds. You can use your favorite mix-in in place of the almonds! I particularly love fruity ones like my Raspberry Nutella Cups or a cereal mix-in like my Cheerio Nutella Cups.

Almond Mini Nutella Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 24 whole almonds
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin pan with 24 paper liners. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the Nutella and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth.
- Divide evenly into the prepared muffin pan and top with 1 almond each. Transfer the pan to the freezer to harden. Remove from the freezer and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the freezer or the fridge.
Notes
- Make sure you use paper liners! The Nutella cups will stick to a regular mini muffin pan otherwise. If you really didn't want to use paper liners, you will need to use a mini silicone muffin pan.
- Store in the freezer or fridge. These Nutella cups will turn liquid if they are not in a cool place. I prefer to store them in an airtight container in the freezer for more of a chocolate feel, but the fridge works too if you want them to be a little softer.
- Use a mini cookie scoop to scoop Nutella mixture into the muffin pan. This makes distributing the Nutella mixture a lot easier. This extra small cookie scoop would make it a lot easier.
