Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 spatula or spoon
  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 cookie scoop small

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup peanut butter unsweetened
  • ¼ cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add chocolate flavour: Stir in cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until the texture is thick and uniform.
  • Portion the mixture: Line a small tray with baking paper. Scoop about one tablespoon of mixture and place on the tray. Shape into small balls or discs.
  • Add topping (optional): Sprinkle crushed peanuts or another nut topping over each portion.

  • Serve or store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy one whenever a sweet craving appears.

Notes

Peanut-Free Option
If peanuts are not suitable, replace the peanut butter with unsweetened almond butter or hazelnut butter. Both alternatives provide a similar creamy texture while keeping the snack low in carbohydrates.
For the topping, swap crushed peanuts for crushed almonds or crushed hazelnuts. These nuts add the same crunchy texture and pair especially well with chocolate.
Avoid sweetened chocolate-hazelnut spreads such as Nutella, as they contain large amounts of sugar that increase carbohydrate content. Natural unsweetened nut butters keep this snack suitable for a low-carb lifestyle.
