Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 6 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 ounce cocoa butter
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 3 tbsp powdered sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Layer
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup allulose (or xylitol)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar replacement
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Chocolate Layer: Set 16 silicone muffin liners into standard-size muffin pans. In a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate and cocoa butter, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Form Chocolate Base: Spoon about one teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin liner, spreading to the edges. Freeze for 20 minutes to set. Reserve remaining chocolate for topping.
- Make Peanut Butter Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and salted butter. Melt in 30-second increments on high, stirring until smooth. Stir in powdered sweetener and vanilla extract until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among cups, spreading to edges. Refrigerate while preparing caramel layer.
- Prepare Caramel Layer: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine allulose and brown sugar replacement. Cook until sweeteners melt and mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the caramel reaches amber color, about 3 minutes.
- Finish Caramel: Remove saucepan from heat and stir in butter and heavy cream; mixture will bubble vigorously. Return to medium-low heat and cook an additional 2 minutes or until deep amber and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and chopped salted peanuts.
- Assemble Caramel Layer: Allow caramel to cool until thick and syrupy. Spoon evenly over the peanut butter layer in each cup. Return to refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
- Top with Chocolate: Gently rewarm reserved chocolate until melted. Spoon over cups and spread to edges to cover. Refrigerate cups for 10 to 15 minutes until chocolate topping is firm.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients, especially sweeteners, are keto-friendly to maintain low-carb status.
- Use silicone muffin liners to easily remove the cups without sticking.
- The caramel may bubble vigorously when adding cream and butter—handle carefully.
- For best texture, chill the layers properly before adding the next.
- Store cups in the refrigerator to keep firm and fresh.
