Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
Heavy whipping cream
Cocoa powder
Powdered keto sweetener
Vanilla extract
Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be thick and hold its shape.
Step 2: Shape the Bars
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
Using a spoon or spatula, shape the chocolate mixture into small candy bar rectangles.
Freeze for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
Step 3: Make the Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine:
Sugar-free chocolate chips
Coconut oil
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. Let the chocolate cool slightly before coating the bars.
Step 4: Coat the Candy Bars
Remove the frozen bars from the freezer.
Using two forks, dip each bar into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place them back onto the parchment-lined tray.
The frozen filling helps the chocolate harden quickly.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is completely set.
Enjoy immediately or store for later.
Tips for the Best Results
Freeze the filling before coating for easier handling.
Use powdered keto sweetener to avoid a gritty texture.
Work quickly, as the filling softens at room temperature.
Choose high-quality sugar-free chocolate for the smoothest coating.
Store the bars in the refrigerator to maintain their texture.
Delicious Variations
Mint Chocolate
Add ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract to the filling.
Peanut Butter
Spread a thin layer of natural peanut butter over the filling before coating.
Mocha
Mix 1 teaspoon espresso powder into the filling.
Dark Chocolate
Use extra-dark sugar-free chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Coconut Chocolate
Fold unsweetened shredded coconut into the filling.
