Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (or 85%+ dark chocolate)
  • 2 tbsp refined coconut oil
  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    Melt 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (or 85%+ dark chocolate) with 2 tbsp refined coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner and tilt to coat the sides slightly. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes until set.

  4. 4

    While the chocolate sets, stir together 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar), 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and evenly combined.

  5. 5

    Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar) filling onto each set chocolate base, pressing down gently to flatten.

  6. 6

    Spoon the remaining sugar-free dark chocolate chips (or 85%+ dark chocolate) over each cup to fully cover the peanut butter layer. Tap the pan gently to smooth the tops.

  7. 7

    Freeze for at least 30 minutes until completely firm. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Best served slightly chilled.
