Ingredients
  

Creamy Keto Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
Whipped Keto Chocolate Mousse
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
No-Bake Keto Coconut Bites
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted
  • 3 tablespoons keto-friendly maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)

Method
 

Creamy Keto Peanut Butter Cups
  1. Prepare your molds: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone liners or use a silicone candy mold for smaller portions.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
  3. Create the base layer: Spoon approximately one tablespoon of melted chocolate into each mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes until firm.
  4. Add the peanut butter: Drop about one teaspoon of peanut butter onto each chocolate base, pressing gently to flatten.
  5. Finish with chocolate: Cover each peanut butter dollop with remaining melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
  6. Set completely: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until solid.
Whipped Keto Chocolate Mousse
  1. Chill your equipment: Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and powdered sweetener to remove any lumps.
  3. Begin whipping: Pour cold heavy cream into your chilled bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add chocolate mixture: Gradually sift in the cocoa mixture while continuing to beat.
  5. Whip to stiff peaks: Continue beating until the mousse holds its shape and forms stiff peaks, another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Portion and chill: Divide among serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
No-Bake Keto Coconut Bites
  1. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut with melted coconut oil and sweetener. Stir until evenly coated.
  2. Test consistency: Squeeze a small amount in your palm. If it crumbles, add more coconut oil. If too wet, add more shredded coconut.
  3. Form balls: Portion the mixture and roll into compact balls.
  4. Arrange on tray: Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze until firm: Transfer to the freezer for at least 1 hour.
  6. Optional chocolate drizzle: Melt sugar-free chocolate and drizzle over frozen bites.

Notes

For best texture, chill the peanut butter cups before serving. The mousse can be topped with fresh berries or whipped cream.
