Keto Big Peanut Butter Cups

These keto big peanut butter cups are a no-bake dessert that tastes better than the store-bought candy, made oversized in a 12-cup silicone muffin pan. The filling is soft and creamy, almost like a mousse. Made with whipped butter and chocolate peanut butter protein powder. Give the layers a full 10 minutes in the freezer each time so the chocolate sets clean before you pop them out.

2 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

Melt half the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour into each cup of a 12-muffin silicone mold or baking pan (if you use metal, add cupcake liners so they pop out easily). Use a spoon or brush to smooth chocolate up the sides of the tin, until the entire bottom surface is covered. Place muffin pan in the freezer to set, about 10 minutes
Beat softened butter with powdered sweetener until light and fluffy.
Add protein powder and mix until combined. Add heavy cream and mix until smooth.
Add peanut butter filling to each muffin cup and pat smooth.
Melt remaining chocolate and pour over peanut butter filling.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt, crushed peanuts, or mini chips over top while the chocolate is still warm, if desired.
Place muffin pan back in freezer to finish setting up, about 10 minutes.
Pop out each peanut butter cup and enjoy!
