I’ve always been more of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup gal myself, with my only complaint being they need even more peanut butter filling. So these fudge cups are almost like…reverse Reese’s?
These Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Fudge Cups are not only ridiculously delicious, they’re super easy to make with just a few ingredients and no baking required. They’re also keto and vegan! Here’s how to make ’em.
How To Make Keto Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Fudge Cups
Yields 10-12 regular cups or 20-24 mini cups
Fudge ingredients:
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut butter/manna (not coconut oil)
Chocolate ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsbp – 1/4 cup coconut oil
- liquid stevia to taste
OR - 1/3 cup Hu Kitchen Gems, melted* (code GRACIE for free shipping)
* won’t be Keto, but still vegan
Directions:
- Line a (regular or mini size – I prefer mini) muffin pan with baking cups.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl combine the peanut butter and coconut butter and microwave for 30-60 seconds, just until soft enough to stir all together (or you could do on the stovetop if you’re one of those anti-microwavers).
- Combine the peanut butter + coconut butter well, and pour into the baking cups 1/3-1/2 full. Set aside.
- (Skip this step if using regular chocolate chips) On stovetop or in microwave heat the coconut oil, then mix in the cocoa powder until you have a chocolate “sauce.” Add a few drops of liquid stevia to whatever sweetness you’d like.
- Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the fudge cups, and swirl in with a butter knife or tooth pick.
- Let set in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes until hardened.
I seriously don’t know why I haven’t made these fudge cups sooner – they’re pretty much my dream treat! The combo of the peanut butter + coconut butter is to die for. It gives a dense, silky texture reminiscent of our beloved Reese’s, without an ounce of added sugar.
*EDIT: I’ve started to put the chocolate on the bottom, more like “classic” peanut butter cups. Either will work!
You can also easily sub in any nut butter you like. Use almond or cashew butter to make Paleo.
I predict I’m going to keep these babies on hand all. the. time now. Even if you store them in the freezer they stay pretty soft & fudge-y. Bless up.
If you make these or any of my other recipes, I’d love to see how they turned out! Be sure to tag me on Instagram @Hungry.Blonde 🙂 xoxo GG
