Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
Bite into delicious 3-ingredient keto peanut butter cups for the perfect creamy peanut butter chocolate experience. These are way better than a Reese's cup by using real food and dairy-free ingredients without preservatives or added sugar. Great for kids and adults alike looking for a satisfying, low-carb, and no-bake treat.
Servings: 6 cups
Calories: 239kcal
Equipment
- 1 6-cup muffin pan
- 6 cupcake liners
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol sifted
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate melted, see note
Instructions
- Place a cupcake liner in each of the 6 muffin wells.
- Scoop 1½ tablespoons of melted chocolate and place in the bottom of each liner. Use the back of your spoon and spread the chocolate all the way out to the edge of the liner, you want it to fill the whole space.
- Pop the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes until the chocolate sets up a little.
- While the chocolate chills, mix the powdered erythritol and peanut butter in a small bowl until smooth.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop a generous amount of peanut butter and roll it in your hands to form a 1-inch ball. Then, press it flat between the palms of your hands. Place this disc over the first chocolate layer and repeat for each cup.
- Divide the remaining melted chocolate between all 6 cups by drizzling it over the peanut butter. Cover thoroughly and use the back of the spoon, as needed, to move the chocolate around until lit reaches out to all the sides.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
Notes
I make a DIY double boiler and melt it on the stovetop, but you can also melt it in the microwave if you prefer.
These freeze well, so you can place them in a freezer bag and store frozen for up to three months. Good luck not eating them before that time, though! These are way too good to sit in the freezer for 3 months. Store with or without the cupcake liners, it doesn’t make a difference.
