Easy Recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Popsicles

Chocolate and peanut butter is surely the most classic combo. I can’t think of a better combination for easy sugar-free popsicles on a hot day then pairing these two flavors together melted chocolate coated or drizzled in a sugar free dark chocolate shell!! 

You really don’t even need to make these in molds, just eat them on a stick like ice cream bars. This is the perfect indulgence as regular ice cream served in a bowl, but obviously for portion control the popsicle idea is best. Either way this is a favorite summer dessert!

It’s like frozen fudge on a wooden stick!

Naturally my sweetener of choice is the  Chocolate liquid stevia from Sweetleaf! It’s the perfect amount for the chocolate layer flavor! It tastes fantastic and it blends well in non baking desserts! But feel free to use any low carb sweetener you enjoy to balance blood sugar. 

All the nutritional information is located at the bottom of this page on the printable recipe card.

5 Simple Popsicle Ingredients & Substitutions

Heavy Whipping Cream or Canned Coconut milk for dairy free. You could turn these into healthy peanut butter chocolate yogurt pops by using Greek yogurt for less fat than heavy cream.

Low Carb Sweetener- Chocolate Stevia or Liquid Monk Fruit

Unsweetened Almond Milk or canned coconut cream for dairy free

Unsweetened Smooth Peanut Butter or sunflower seed butter

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or melted sugar free chocolate

Equipment

Wooden Popsicle Sticks

Popsicle Mold

High Speed Blender or Food Processor

Easy Keto Ice Cream

This popsicle recipe takes just minutes to blend together in a high speed blender or food processor. The hardest part of course is waiting for the popsicles to freeze. Once frozen they are just delicious as is or remove them from the mold and coat with my Sugar Free Magic Shell for an extra special treat.

You could even make this into regular ice cream. Just blend in blender and instead of pouring into molds, add to your ice cream machine and let it do it’s thing. You’ll have soft serve in about 15 minutes, or a bit longer. I have an ice cream attachment for my KitchenAid.

Peanut Free Keto Popsicles

If you have a peanut allergy in the family, you can easily swap out the peanut butter used for almond butter or cashew butter or another nut butter. If you have a tree nut allergy, simply swap out the almond milk with coconut milk and use sunflower seed butter.

FUDGEY! CREAMY!! CHOCOLATEY!!

You can either just dip the tops of the popsicles or drizzle all over or spread the melted chocolate mixture on one side, let it harden for a minute than flip over onto the other side and coat the entire popsicle.

And super hard to take pictures of before they melt and I want to devour one!

Can I swap the Stevia?

If you don’t have chocolate stevia you can use vanilla or clear. If you don’t like stevia use any low carb sweetener you like. I also love Liquid Monk Fruit. Try a small amount of sweetener perhaps just 1/4 cup, taste and increase as needed before pouring into molds.

What if I don’t want to make the Magic Shell?

If you don’t want to make the Sugar Free Magic Shell to cover the popsicles they will be delicious even without it or you can use 1.5 cups Sugar Free Chocolate Chips and 2 tbsp coconut oil, melt together and dip frozen popsicles in that.

Sugar Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Popsicles

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Servings 10

Calories 170kcal

Author Brenda Bennett | Sugar-Free Mom

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream or for dairy free use canned coconut cream
• 1 tsp Chocolate liquid stevia or liquid monk fruit
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter no sugar added
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Sugar Free Magic Shell Optional

Instructions

• Mix by hand or use a blender or food processor to blend all the ingredients together, except the optional chocolate coating. Blend just for a few seconds to combine the simple ingredients. If you blend too long the popsicle mixture will become like whipped cream due to the heavy cream in the recipe. Taste and adjust sweetener as needed.
• Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 2-3 hours or until hardened. Once hardened, remove by holding mold under warm running water to better facilitate release from molds.
• Place popsicles onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle the chocolate coating or pour and spread coating with a spoon over both sides of popsicle if desired. Place back on baking sheet to freeze again for about 10 minutes or overnight.

What is a Keto Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie?

It’s A GIANT COOKIE made in a skillet! A cookie lovers dream, especially when sweet tooth cravings happen! No need to scoop a bunch of little chocolate chip keto cookies when you just make the entire cookie dough recipe and dump into an oven-proof skillet. Easy peasy!

You don’t even need to slice this delicious dessert! Everyone can just grab a spoon and dig in to the delicious warm cookie! Even better is when said low carb skillet cookie is gluten free, nut free, sugar free, and keto; that my friends is a sugar free lovers dream!

This is a perfect low-carb dessert for those with tree nut allergies like my youngest son. You can bring this giant chocolate chip cookie recipe to a party without worry of cross contamination. 

Did you ever have this great intention to make something so decadent and delicious, but then it falls through and you’re left starting over?

Sometimes that happens with keto dessert recipes, but sometimes, it turns out better than that first intention. Such is the case with this recipe I’m sharing today.

As a busy mom, I’m always looking for simple dessert recipes, ones that take little effort in the kitchen but everyone loves and thinks you spent hours.

My orginial plan with this recipe was for the slow cooker. And in fact you could probably still make this in the slow cooker, but it doesn’t come out looking like this pie, more like bars instead.

The cast iron pan really creates that outer cookie crispness around the whole thing and the best part is that perfect gooey center. 

After making this recipe twice in the slow cooker and doing some tweaks with the amounts of flour, I opted to try it a third time in a cast-iron skillet and I am so happy I did. Masterpiece right here!

The whole family was won over with the best keto chocolate chip skillet cookie they have ever had!

How to Make a Skillet Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 

Add your wet ingredients; unsalted butter, cream cheese, sour cream to a stand mixer or large bowl and blend until smooth. 

Add the sweetener, vanilla extract, stevia and cream to the mixer and blend until combined. 

Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.

Add the remaining dry ingredients to the mixer, except the chocolate chips. Blend until incorporated then stir in the chocolate chips by hand. 

Grease a 9 inch cast iron skillet and spread the batter into the skillet. 

Bake in a preheated oven for 35- 40 minutes or until a toothpick in center comes out clean and it’s got a nice golden brown color.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20-30minutes before serving. 

Perfect Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Perfect outer edges like a cookie would typically have and the center is all soft and is truly a gooey chocolate chip cookie. I mean this is truly perfection! 

My entire family and even the picky hubby loved this so much! 

Even after a few days on the counter the hubby tried a piece and didn’t even warm it up, (what a shame in my opinion!), but still loved every bite. I think it’s a perfect keto dessert in my opinion!

No lie, this pie stays moist, but it really is awesome reheating a piece in the microwave for 30 seconds and topping with Sugar-Free Whipped Cream and some melted Sugar-Free Chocolate sauce!

Enjoy this sweet treat at room temperature or warm with some Sugar-Free Low Carb Vanilla Ice Cream!

Can I Change the Sweetener?

Yes if you don’t have the sweetener I used, you can sub another low-carb brown sugar sweetener.  Monk fruit is another great option. 

I do not recommend coconut sugar as that is still a sugar and will spike ones blood sugar. 

If you’d like to replace the teaspoon vanilla liquid stevia with another sweetener, please use my  Sweetener Ultimate Guide & Conversion chart to help you determine how much to use.

Can I Swap Sesame flour with Almond Flour or Coconut Flour?

One of the most common questions I get on a daily basis is about swapping different keto flours. 

Yes, you can easily swap the sesame flour with fine almond flour in this recipe. You can not evenly swap sesame flour with coconut flour as you would need to use much less and increase all liquids, including eggs. 

I’ve made this twice using sesame seeds instead of the sesame flour and I must say the flour is better. The seeds while you can grind them in a blender, don’t provide a smooth texture as using the flour. 

Nutritional information below does not include any toppings like the sugar free chocolate syrup or low carb ice cream. The nutritional data will also change if you are swapping the almond flour with almond flour.

Making homemade, sugar free whipped cream at home is something I’ve done for a long time using my KitchenAid stand mixer. But if you don’t have a stand mixer you can still make a fabulous whipped cream at home, in a MASON JAR!!

You can make this sugar free whipped cream with any choice of sweetener you prefer really. My preference is Sweetleaf Stevia in vanilla creme. My kids and hubby prefer the Swerve sweetener. Whichever you choose just add a small amount then taste and adjust to your liking.

It’s simple and easy and the kids can get involved as well!

Here’s a video to show you how simple it is to make this in a mason jar.

That’s it! Easy right?

Of course if you have a stand mixer or a high powdered blender you can simply pour the ingredients into that and let it do the work for you!

Beef Stroganoff Cauliflower Casserole! A Hidden cauliflower casserole with all the traditional flavors of beef stroganoff ! Your family will have no idea they’re eating cauliflower nor will they care!

This classic recipe got a slight make over. Using a cauliflower base that looks more like a layer of mashed potatoes, topped with a layer of cheeses and a creamy beef mixture makes  for a fabulous family meal that everyone will enjoy, even the kids.

This cauliflower idea as the base was adapted from my first recipe Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole. That recipe went over really well with not only my family, but many of you on my blog! My second recipe with the cauliflower base was also a big hit, Chicken Enchilada Cauliflower Casserole. So I decided to try the classic beef stroganoff and instead of egg noodles use this fabulous hidden cauliflower recipe as the base.

While it certainly might not be typical to include cauliflower in any of the recipes I’ve made, it does make for a quite a unique dish and one that just might get your family to try cauliflower without realizing it.

What can I say, I’m just a sucker for recipes that hide veggies! I’ve got a bunch of recipes like this because it works for my kids. I love to see the surprised looks on their faces after I tell them what they just devoured and loved!

It’s a layered mess, but it works!!! Even my picky hubby, the Meat -N-Potatoes Man, was won over each time, never complaining and in fact complimenting, the cauliflower as the base on each recipe!

Grated Parmesan is optional but it does give a nice little toasted crumble over the top. I would highly recommend using it.
