Why Use ChocZero Chocolate for Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
ChocZero's Dark Chocolate Vegan Peanut Butter Cups are a great starting point for this recipe because they're already sweetened with monk fruit and have only 2g net carbs per serving. But for a truly homemade version, you can melt ChocZero chocolate chips or bars and mix with your own peanut butter filling. This gives you control over the texture and sweetness.
ChocZero chocolate is keto friendly, gluten free, and contains no added sugar. That means your homemade cups will fit your macros without sacrificing taste. Plus, monk fruit sweetener doesn't spike blood sugar, so you can enjoy a treat without the crash.
- Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar for the filling.
- If you prefer a crunch, add a few chopped almonds or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
Gathering Your Ingredients and Tools
For this recipe, you'll need ChocZero Dark Chocolate (chips or bars), natural peanut butter, a keto-friendly powdered sweetener like monk fruit or erythritol, and a little coconut oil or cocoa butter to help the chocolate melt smoothly. You'll also need a mini muffin tin and paper liners, or a silicone mold for easy release.
If you're using ChocZero Dark Chocolate Vegan Peanut Butter Cups, you can simply melt them and add a bit of peanut butter for extra creaminess. But for a more authentic homemade cup, start with plain chocolate and make your own filling. This way you can adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Coconut oil helps the chocolate set with a nice snap.
- Silicone molds make it easy to pop out the finished cups.
Step-by-Step: Making Your Keto Peanut Butter Cups
- Melt the Chocolate: Chop ChocZero chocolate into small pieces and melt in a microwave or double boiler. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to help it flow. Stir until completely smooth. Don't overheat – chocolate seizes if it gets too hot. Use short bursts if microwaving.
- Line the Mold: Place paper liners in a mini muffin tin or use a silicone mold. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each cup and spread it up the sides with a brush or the back of a spoon. Make sure the chocolate layer is even and not too thick at the bottom – you need room for the filling.
- Chill the Chocolate Shell: Place the tin in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to let the chocolate shell set. Meanwhile, prepare the peanut butter filling. If the chocolate is still soft, the filling will sink through. Wait until it's firm.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Mix natural peanut butter with a keto powdered sweetener and a pinch of salt. Add a little coconut oil if it's too thick. Spoon the filling into the chilled chocolate shells, leaving a small gap at the top. Don't overfill – you need room for the top chocolate layer. Smooth the filling with a spatula.
- Top with More Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling, covering it completely. Gently tap the tin to remove air bubbles. Make sure the top layer seals the edges so the peanut butter doesn't leak out.
- Set and Enjoy: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the cups are completely firm. Remove from the mold and store in an airtight container in the fridge. If they're hard to remove, let them sit at room temperature for a minute – but don't let them get too soft.
