Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- ¼ cup melted butter (unsalted)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (sugar-free, creamy)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
For the Chocolate Topping:
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- ½ tsp coconut oil (optional for extra smoothness)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, and powdered erythritol.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand.
- Divide the mixture evenly into silicone muffin cups or mini tart molds. Press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the heavy whipping cream and beat until fluffy.
- Spoon the filling into the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops.
- Place the pies back in the refrigerator while preparing the chocolate topping.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Topping
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Add coconut oil if using, to create a glossy finish.
- Pour a thin layer of chocolate over each pie, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Chill the Pies
- Refrigerate the pies for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
- For a firmer texture, you can freeze them for 20-30 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Once set, remove the mini pies from their molds.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, a drizzle of melted peanut butter, or a pinch of sea salt.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality, sugar-free peanut butter without added sugars or oils.
- Let the pies sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for a creamier texture.
- If using silicone molds, slightly flex them to pop the pies out easily.
