Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 350℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut oil, and allulose syrup.
  • Stir in the Keto Chow and vanilla extract and mix until a soft dough is formed.
  • Let the dough rest for five minutes. If the kitchen is very warm, rest the dough in the refrigerator.
  • Scoop 15 dough balls onto the baking sheet. They should be approximately 0.75 oz. each, or about one Tbsp. each.
  • Flatten them slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
  • Make an indentation in the middle of each cookie with the tip of your finger or the handle of a small wooden spoon.
  • Fill each indentation with 1/2 tsp. strawberry jam.
  • Bake the filled cookies for about ten minutes, or until they are set and starting to brown around the edges and the jam looks cooked. Let cool.
  • Cookies will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to three months.

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

Fudge:

  • 1/3 cup coconut butter
  • 1/3 cup refined coconut oil *
  • 1 ripe Haas Avocado peeled & pitted
  • 1 serving Chocolate Mint Keto Chow
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk if needed
  • 3 ounces sugar-free, semi-sweet chocolate chips plus extra for decoration

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (1.5 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • greet food coloring
  • small bunch fresh, mint leaves

Instructions

  • Oil a 9 X 4.5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving some extra hanging over the long sides. This will make the fudge easier to remove later.
  • Warm the coconut butter and coconut oil to soften; place in a blender with the flesh of the avocado and blend until smooth.
  • Add the Keto Chow and blend. If it is too thick to blend, add the almond milk.
  • Melt the chocolate chips carefully in the microwave or with a double boiler over gently simmering water.
  • Fold the melted chocolate into the avocado and coconut mixture.
  • Spread the fudge into the prepared loaf pan and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes or until set.
  • Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler of gently simmering water. Add a drop or two of green food coloring and stir to distribute the color.
  • Spread the white chocolate mixture over the fudge and decorate by pressing in chocolate chips and mint leaves.
  • Chill in the freezer for another ten minutes or until set.
  • Remove from the pan by lifting the parchment paper handles. If it won’t come loose, allow it to come to room temperature for ten minutes.
  • Cut the fudge into 24 pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months.

Notes

*Refined coconut oil gives a milder coconut flavor.
