These delicious keto chocolates made by moulding chocolate and encasing peanut butter in the middle.  Sugar free and protein packed..Yum!

Equipment

  • chocolate moulds
  • Double boiler (optional) or microwave safe bowl

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer/s

  • 100 g cacao butter
  • cup Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener ((I like Lakanto))
  • 50 g unsweetened cocoa
  • 10 drops flavoured liquid stevia (optional)

Middle Layer - Peanut Butter

  • 3 tbsp. natural peanut butter ( I used Mayver's Protein + Peanut Butter with Hemp Seeds)

Instructions 

Make the Chocolate

  • Start by making the chocolate.  Place a silicon mould on a flat tray - this will stop the chocolate mould from bending when you place it in the freezer. Alternatively, you can line a muffin tray with 12 patty cake papers.  Set aside.
  • Melt the cacao butter in a microwave or double boiler at low heat.  If using a microwave, melt at 30 second intervals until the cacao butter is clear.  Stir well.
  • Remove from heat and add the powdered monk fruit sweetener.  Stir well.
  • Add the cocoa powder and mix well.
  • Divide the chocolate mixture into two and set the other half to the side (this will be for the top layer of the peanut butter cups).
  • Pour half of the liquid chocolate mixture into the moulds/lined tray and freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the freezer and then spoon a little peanut butter onto the centre of each bit of chocolate.  Try to leave an edge of about 2mm.
  • Place the moulds back in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
  • Remove from the freezer and distribute the second half of the chocolate onto the peanut butter.  Then place back into the freezer to set again for 20 minutes.
  • Once set, remove from the moulds and serve cold.

Notes

  • Store chocolate in the fridge or freezer - they shouldn't melt (but I find it tastes much better cold)
    • These beautiful keto peanut butter cups are great for a holiday party or you can even be used as gifts for friends and family (you don’t even have to tell them they’re healthy!)
    • Perfect with a cup of tea or Keto Superglow Latte
