Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- For the filling, simmer the cherries, 2 tbsp erythritol and lemon juice over medium heat until thick and jammy. Stir in the rum extract and xanthan gum if using, then set aside to cool. 0:17
- Whisk the eggs with the vanilla, melted coconut oil and almond milk. 1:05
- In another bowl whisk the cocoa, coconut flour, ½ cup erythritol, baking powder and salt, then stir them into the egg mixture to make a thick batter. 1:38
- Line a muffin pan with 12 paper cases, divide the batter between them and bake at 177°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes. Let them cool. 2:32
- Cut a small hole in the centre of each cupcake with a round cutter or corer and fill it with the cherry filling. 2:50
- Whisk the chilled cream with the powdered erythritol and vanilla to stiff peaks. 3:00
- Pipe the cream over the cupcakes, sprinkle with chocolate shavings and top each with a fresh cherry. 3:30
Tip. Melted butter works instead of coconut oil, as the cook says. Black cocoa gives the darkest colour; regular unsweetened cocoa is fine.

Vitamin A9%
79 µg a serve, mostly from chilled heavy whipping cream (52%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Iron7%
1.3 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened cocoa powder (42%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Zinc6%

Omega-34%
0.1 g a serve, mostly from chilled heavy whipping cream (48%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin C2%
2 mg a serve, mostly from cherries (66%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin K1%
1.1 µg a serve, mostly from cherries (36%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
