Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cups
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter almond butter or other nut butter would work too; just make sure it's creamy
- 1 cup Swerve Sweetener powdered, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream optional, but makes the peanut butter more fluffy
- 1 stick butter
- 4 tablespoons Swerve Sweetener granulated
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder 100%
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place a glass bowl over the boiling water and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the cocoa powder and stir to combine until smooth. Stir in granulated Swerve.
- Combine peanut butter, powdered Swerve, and heavy cream and beat with an electronic mixer until light and fluffy.
- Pour 2 or 3 teaspoons of melted butter/chocolate mixture into six silicon cupcake liners. Freeze for five minutes or until solid.
- When the chocolate is frozen, spread about 1 tablespoon (or desired amount) of peanut butter mixture with a rubber spatula onto the bottom chocolate layer.
- Put the cups back in the freezer for 15 minutes, or until the peanut butter hardens.
- After peanut butter is hardened, pour remaining chocolate evenly over each cup. Freeze for five more minutes. Enjoy cold. Store in freezer.
- With extra peanut butter mixture, you could either freeze into balls as fudge bites; or melt more chocolate and coconut oil to make more peanut butter cups; or you could bake peanut butter cookies. The choice is yours. Enjoy!
