Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cups
Sweet and creamy peanut butter filling encased in a sugar free chocolate shell. These decadent peanut butter cups have only 1.6 net carbs each!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 oz sugar free milk chocolate chips I use Lily's
- ½ oz cocoa butter or coconut oil
- ½ cup natural peanut butter no sugar added, I use creamy
- 2 Tbsp salted butter softened to room temperature
- 5 Tbsp Swerve confectioners or another powdered sweetener
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips and cocoa butter in a double boiler over low heat. (I use a glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.)
- Put about a teaspoon of melted chocolate in the bottom of each of the cups in the mold. Spread the chocolate up the sides of the molds with a very small spoon.
- Flip upside down onto a silicone mat, then place in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Remove and spread chocolate over any holes or thin spots on the cups. Freeze for another 5-10 minutes.
- While chocolate sets, prepare filling. Whisk together the peanut butter, Swerve, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fill chocolate cups almost to the top with peanut butter mixture. Use the remaining chocolate to cover the filling in each cup.
- Carefully tap molds on the counter to flatten and remove any air bubbles. Freeze for 25-30 minutes or until chocolate is set.
- Unmold the peanut butter cups. If they don't pop out easily, they aren't ready - freeze them for a few more minutes.
- Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Notes
You can add more or less sweetener to the filling according to your taste preference.
