Serving Size: 1 bowl
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter – smooth, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder – for that rich chocolate flavor
- 2 tbsp heavy cream – or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 1 tbsp powdered erythritol – adjust to your preferred sweetness
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract – adds warmth and depth
- 2–3 tbsp almond milk or water – to thin the mixture, as needed
- Pinch of salt – optional, enhances flavor
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional) – for extra creaminess
Instructions
1. Add the base ingredients
In a medium bowl, add peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, heavy cream (or coconut cream), powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and cream cheese if using.
2. Soften if needed
If the peanut butter or cream cheese is too firm, microwave the bowl for 10 seconds to soften and make mixing easier.
3. Mix until smooth
Whisk or stir the ingredients until fully combined. The texture should be thick, creamy, and smooth—like a rich chocolate mousse.
4. Adjust consistency
Add almond milk or water one tablespoon at a time (about 2–3 tbsp total), stirring in between, until the texture is just how you like it. Less liquid for a mousse-like texture, more for a softer pudding feel.
5. Taste and tweak
Taste the mixture. Add more sweetener for extra sweetness, or a pinch of salt or cocoa powder for a deeper flavor.
6. Transfer to a bowl
Scoop the chocolate peanut butter mixture into a serving bowl.
7. Add your favorite toppings
Top with sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, a swirl of peanut butter, or a dollop of whipped cream—whatever you love!
8. Chill (optional)
You can eat it right away, or chill it in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes for a firmer texture. For a thick, fudge-like dessert, chill for 1 hour or overnight.
