👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Soften the Base
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes until soft. This ensures a smooth, lump-free mixture.
2️⃣ Melt the Coconut Oil
Gently melt the coconut oil in the microwave (20–30 seconds) or on the stovetop over low heat. Do not overheat.
3️⃣ Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add melted coconut oil slowly while mixing to prevent separation.
Stir in:
-
Cocoa powder
-
Powdered erythritol
-
Vanilla extract
-
Sea salt
-
Almond butter (if using)
Mix until silky and fully combined.
4️⃣ Taste & Adjust
Taste the mixture. Add more sweetener if desired. For deeper chocolate flavor, add ½ tbsp extra cocoa powder.
5️⃣ Fill the Molds
Spoon or pipe the mixture into silicone molds or mini cupcake liners. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
6️⃣ Chill to Set
Place in the freezer for 45–60 minutes, or until firm.
7️⃣ Store Properly
Once set, transfer to an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
