Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 ounces (170 grams) cream cheese
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
Sweetener:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) keto-friendly sweetener
Coating/Topping:
- 1 cup (170 grams) sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pulverize chocolate chips into fine, uniform crumbles using a food processor, ensuring a consistent texture for coating.
- Distribute chocolate crumbles evenly across parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, creating a flat, ready-to-use surface.
- In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, peanut butter, and keto sweetener using an electric mixer until achieving a completely smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Utilize a small scoop or spoon to portion out consistent dollops of the creamy mixture, then gently roll each portion into compact, uniform spheres.
- Carefully roll each ball through the prepared chocolate crumbles, ensuring complete and even coverage of the exterior surface.
- Transfer coated balls into an airtight container, arranging them in a single layer to prevent sticking or damage.
- Place the sealed container in the freezer at 0°F, allowing the balls to solidify and maintain their shape for optimal texture and taste.
- These keto-friendly treats can be stored frozen for up to one month, providing a convenient and delicious low-carb snack option ready to enjoy at any time.
Notes
- Chocolate grinding works best with slightly chilled chocolate chips to prevent melting and ensure fine, consistent crumbles.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and peanut butter for smoother blending and easier ball formation.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew for varied flavor profiles while maintaining keto compatibility.
- Chill the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling to make handling easier and prevent sticky hands during ball formation.
