Dark Keto Chocolate
Ingredients
- 75 g cocoa butter
- 45 g cocoa powder
- 35 g erythritol
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- 500 g peanuts, lightly roasted and chopped
Instructions
- Melt the cocoa butter and erythritol in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add cocoa powder to the mixture and stir until smooth.
- Add heavy cream and continue heating and stirring for another 2 minutes.
- Take silicone chocolate mold and add roasted, lightly chopped peanuts into the mold, then pour the warm chocolate into each section of the mold.
- Transfer the chocolate to the freezer and leave it there for 30-40 minutes. It takes about 6 hours for the chocolate to set completely.
Notes
If you take the chocolate out of the freezer after 30-40 minutes, it will be ready to be consumed. However, it will melt quickly and might be a little bit softer closer to the middle of the chocolate bar. For best results, we strongly recommend leaving the chocolate in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
As you see, this recipe is extremely easy and beginner-friendly. Furthermore, you will not need many fancy ingredients. If you have been on keto diet for some time, you might already have the necessary ingredients in your pantry.
This chocolate is not only keto-friendly, we actually find it way more delicious than the regular one that's available in stores. Give it a try, and you might never buy chocolate in a store again.
