Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Cacao powder
- 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol
- 0.5 cup Vegan creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil.
Once melted, whisk in the cacao powder and powdered erythritol until smooth and well combined.
Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
Pour about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into each liner, making sure it covers the bottom evenly.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
While the chocolate is setting, in a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Once the chocolate base is firm, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into the center of each cup.
Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the peanut butter, dividing it equally between all cups, ensuring the peanut butter is entirely covered.
Return the tray to the freezer for another 20 minutes, or until set.
Once the peanut butter cups are firm, remove them from the muffin tin and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
