Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Splenda or stevia (granulated sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the natural creamy peanut butter and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Add the granulated sweetener, vanilla extract, and heavy cream to the mixture, and stir thoroughly until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Microwave the mixture for 10-15 seconds to soften, then stir again to blend the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture into a silicone muffin mold or a small ramekin to shape it into a 'cup'.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for a hint of contrast to the sweetness.
Place the mold or ramekin in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture has set and is firm to the touch.
Once firm, pop out the peanut butter cup and serve immediately, or store in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
