How to Make Breakfast Cups with Chocolate & Chia Jam
- Fill the ramekins. Spoon dairy-free yogurt into two 6 oz ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
- Swirl in the jam. Add 1 tablespoon of fruit jam to each ramekin and stir gently to create a swirl.
- Add the top jam layer. Smooth the surface, then add 2 tablespoons of jam on top of each cup to form a layer.
- Melt the chocolate. Melt the Pascha 100% cacao bar using a double boiler.
- Stir in the hemp hearts. Mix the hemp hearts into the melted chocolate.
- Top the cups. Spread a thin chocolate layer over the jam in each ramekin.
- Chill until set. Place the cups in the fridge until the chocolate firms up.
- Serve or store. Enjoy right away, or keep chilled for easy breakfasts over the next few days.
Tips for the Best Breakfast Cups
- Use a jam you already love so the flavor stays bright and fruity
- Spread the chocolate layer thinly for easier spooning
- Let the cups chill long enough for the chocolate to fully set
- Use small ramekins or jars for easy meal prep storage
- Make multiple portions at once to save time during the week
Quick Chia Jam Idea
If you want to make your own fruit layer, a quick chia jam works especially well here. Heat fruit until soft, mash to your preferred texture, then stir in chia seeds and let it thicken. Blueberries, strawberries, and peaches all work well, depending on the season and the flavor you want.
Easy Ways to Change It Up
- Use strawberry, blueberry, cherry, or peach jam
- Swap ramekins for small jars if you want a grab-and-go option
- Add a little granola between the jam and chocolate layer for crunch
- Mix nut butter into the yogurt for a richer version

Why Pascha 100% Cacao Works So Well Here
The thin chocolate top is what makes these breakfast cups stand out. Using Pascha 100% Cacao Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs gives the cups a deep chocolate finish without added sweetness, which pairs well with the creamy yogurt and fruit jam underneath.
That contrast keeps the recipe feeling balanced instead of overly sweet, and it gives each spoonful a mix of creamy, fruity, and chocolatey textures.

These breakfast cups are ideal for meal prep because they hold well in the fridge and are ready when you need them. Make them ahead, let them chill, and grab one when the day starts moving fast. They’re simple, neat, and easy to fit into a busy routine.
