Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Rubber Spatula
- Double Boiler
- Fork
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter or dairy-free coconut oil for an alternative
- 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter ensure it's sugar-free for keto!
- 1/3 cup powdered keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or allulose
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup defatted peanut flour unsweetened is best for flavor control
Chocolate Coating
- 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate finely chopped
- 1/2 ounce cocoa butter or 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons salted peanuts finely chopped, optional, for a lovely crunch
Instructions
- Prepare Your Surface: First, get a baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper – this helps prevent sticking later.
- Melt the Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the butter and peanut butter together. Stir them until they're smooth and well combined. Then, mix in your powdered sweetener and vanilla extract until everything is seamlessly blended.
- Create the Dough: Gradually add the peanut flour to your mixture. Use a rubber spatula to work it in until you form a stiff, easy-to-handle dough. If it feels a bit sticky, just add a tiny bit more peanut flour.
- Shape and Chill: Roll the dough into small, uniform 1-inch balls and place them onto your prepared baking sheet. Pop them into the freezer for about 1 hour until they're firm. This step is key for a perfect dip!
- Melt the Chocolate: While your peanut butter balls are chilling, set up a double boiler. Place your chopped sugar-free dark chocolate and cocoa butter (or coconut oil) in a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and beautifully smooth.
- Dip to Perfection: One by one, carefully drop each frozen peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to gently roll it around until it's fully coated. Lift it out, tapping the fork lightly against the side of the bowl to let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Garnish and Set: Immediately place the coated ball back on the parchment-lined sheet. If you're using chopped peanuts, sprinkle them on top right away, as the chocolate will set very quickly on the cold balls. Let them sit until the chocolate is firm.
