Bite-sized desserts has never looked and tasted so good. These Keto Mocha Cream Chocolate Cups are super easy to make and the perfect little pick me up fat bomb after a long day.

At less than 2 g net carbs per cup they won’t send your insulin levels soaring or kick you out of ketosis but they will satisfy your sweet cravings. The chocolate & coffee hit will help super boost you through your to-do list too!

I like to keep these low-carb chocolate cups in the fridge so they’re always nice and chilled. Have fun with them!

Is Dark Chocolate Healthy?

We used 90% dark chocolate but any dark chocolate with at least 85% cacao is a good low-carb option. Although there is a small amount of sugar, the carb count is low and it's one of the ingredients that can be used in moderation when you follow a healthy low-carb diet. You can also use sugar-free chocolate (dark, milk or even white if you can get it) sweetened with stevia or inulin.

Ingredients (makes 24 mini cups)

225 g 90% dark chocolate (8 oz)
1 ¹/₂ cups heavy whipping cream or coconut cream (360 ml/ 12 fl oz)
1 ¹/₂ tbsp raw cacao powder or Dutch process cocoa powder (8 g/ 0.3 oz)
¹/₂ tsp vanilla powder or cinnamon
2 tbsp powdered Swerve or Erythritol (20 g/ 0.7 oz)
1 ¹/₂ tbsp almond butter or any seed butter (24/ 0.9 oz)
3 tbsp strong brewed coffee, cooled (45 ml)

Instructions

Break the chocolate into chunks and place in a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water. Melt on a medium heat until liquid. Remove from the pan and allow to cool to room temperature. The chocolate must be at room temperature before placing in the muffin cups.
Place the silicone muffin cups (I used 5cm/ 2 inch cups) in the freezer to chill.
Prepare the mocha cream filling by whisking the cream until thick with an electric whisk.
Add the cacao, vanilla, swerve and almond butter and whisk.
Mix through the cooled coffee with a spatula. Place in the fridge to stiffen slightly (about 15 minutes).
Place about 1 tsp in the bottom of each silicon muffin cups and use a teaspoon or silicone/pastry brush to coat the sides. Place in the freezer to harden for about 15 minutes.
repeat this step so you get a nice thick layer on the ‘walls’ of the cup. Place in the freezer again for a further 15 minutes, or until fully set.
Carefully ease the sides of the muffin cups and remove the cups.
Add the mocha cream filling into a piping bag and pipe into the chocolate cups. Option to dust with a little more raw cacao.
Place in the fridge to chill for about 10 minutes (my preference) or enjoy straight away!
Store in an airtight Tupperware of glass box in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

These look delicious - except for the mocha (I can't stomach anything coffee-flavored). Can we just leave out the brewed coffee or is there something we can use as a substitute? Thanks!!

You can omit it completely or use other flavours like cinnamon or even some fresh orange zest 😊
