Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix together the low-fat cream cheese, natural peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Add the powdered erythritol to the peanut butter mixture and stir thoroughly until it is fully integrated and you achieve a creamy consistency.
Step 3
Line a muffin tin with 6 silicone or paper cupcake liners.
Step 4
Divide the peanut butter mixture evenly among the liners, smoothing the tops with a spoon to create an even layer. Place the tray in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate topping by melting the coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl or over a low flame. Once melted, add the cocoa powder and a small pinch of the powdered erythritol, mixing until it forms a smooth chocolate sauce.
Step 6
Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the top of each peanut butter cup, tilting the tin slightly to cover the entire surface.
Step 7
Freeze for an additional 20 minutes until the chocolate has set.
Step 8
Once set, remove the cups from the liners. Optionally, sprinkle a little sea salt on top for an added flavor contrast.
Step 9
Store the peanut butter cups in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.
