Keto Chocolate Baskets
Serves: 10
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1-2 hours in fridge
Ingredients:
1 cup flaked almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut flakes
1/2 cup peanut butter
50 g unsalted butter or coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated stevia (I use Natvia from Coles & Woolies)
1/4 cup cacao powder
Macadamia nuts or Easter eggs
Method:
Line a baking tray with baking paper and heat oven to 160C.
Spread flaked almonds and coconut over the baking tray and bake for 5-6 minutes until lightly toasted. Set aside and allow to cool.
Combine peanut butter, coconut oil or butter, cacao powder, stevia, vanilla extract and salt in a microwave safe bowl or saucepan. Microwave for 15 second increments or in a saucepan over low heat until melted, smooth and combined.
Add the toasted almond and coconut pieces to the chocolate mixture and combine well, ensuring everything is coated.
Divide the mixture into 10 even portions on tray. Then, press down the centre of each and add half a macadamia or an Easter egg to each, for decoration. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set. Keep stored in the fridge!
Notes:
Monkfruit powder can be used in place of stevia if preferred
Choose a peanut butter that’s made from only peanuts. Mayvers is a great brand!
