Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate: Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Mold the Chocolate Cups: Using a silicone muffin tray or cupcake liners, pour a thin layer of the melted chocolate into each cup. Use a brush or the back of a spoon to coat the sides. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes until set.
- Make the Caramel Filling: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Allow to cool slightly.
- Fill the Cups: Remove the chocolate cups from the fridge and pour the caramel filling into each cup, leaving a little space at the top for more chocolate.
- Seal the Cups: Melt any remaining chocolate and pour over the caramel filling to cover it completely. Return to the fridge for another 15-20 minutes until fully set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cups from the tray or liners. Enjoy your delicious Keto Caramel Cups!
