Ingredients
- 1 cup raw peanuts
- 0.5 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by roasting the raw peanuts. Place them in a pan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they become aromatic and the skins begin to crack, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Step 2
Once cooled, rub the peanuts between your palms to remove the skins. This step is optional but gives a cleaner look and texture to the chikki.
Step 3
Chop the roasted peanuts coarsely or pulse them lightly in a food processor. Set aside.
Step 4
Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, add the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and butter over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the sweetener dissolves completely and the mixture starts to bubble.
Step 6
Add the chopped peanuts, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the saucepan, stirring well to coat the peanuts evenly with the sweetener mixture.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to form a uniform layer. Press down gently to ensure the peanuts stick together.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to set completely, about 2 hours.
Step 9
Once the chikki has hardened, remove it from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your homemade Keto Peanut Chikki as a delightful snack!
