Ingredients
For the chocolate:
- 200g dark chocolate with no added sugar added, such as Montezuma's Absolute Black 100% cocoa, or Callebaut 100%
- 60g unsalted butter
- 60g coconut oil
- 100g double cream
- 10 drops vanilla extract (or make your own)
- 1 tsp pure stevia powder
For the fillings:
- 12 roasted whole hazelnuts
- 50g fresh raspberries
- ¼ tsp powdered gelatine
- 6 drops vanilla flavour liquid stevia
- 25g peanut butter (check contents - it should be 100% peanuts and nothing else)
- 20g whole almonds
Instructions
Start by making the fillings:
- toast hazelnuts and almonds for 5 mins, allow them to cool down, then place almonds in a zip-lock bag and crush them; set aside.
- place raspberries in a small, heavy base saucepan, add liquid stevia and turn hob to medium-high heat, while stirring and crushing the berries with a spatula; it will take a few minutes for the berries to break up and turn into a compote; sprinkle gelatine onto berries, stir well, making sure no gelatine lumps are visible, then transfer to a small bowl to cool down; once cooled, place in the fridge to firm up.
Then make the chocolate:
- break up the chocolate into a medium pyrex bowl or similar heat proof container.
- melt the chocolate over a bain-marie or in the microwave.
- add remainder of ingredients and stir until the mix is smooth and glossy.
Finally, to create your assorted keto sugar free chocolates:
- place silicone moulds over a flat, hard base such as a chopping board - I used enough moulds to make 15 peanut butter chocolates, 15 hazelnut chocolates, 15 almonds chocolates and 12 (slightly larger) raspberry chocolates.
- fill each mould with chocolate mix up to ⅓ level, then transfer to the fridge and leave to set for 5 mins.
- once set, take them out to add the fillings:
- place about ¼-1/8 tsp of peanut butter filling into the centre of 15 moulds; do the same for the raspberry filling, using 12 moulds.
- sprinkle crushed almonds over 15 moulds; add one hazelnut to the centre of 15 moulds.
- now pour remaining chocolate over the top and sides of your fillings and return to the refrigerator (or freezer if you want a speedier result).
- once set, pop the chocolates out of the moulds and transfer to a sealed container.
- store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days (but I doubt they will last that long!)

Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to enable accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use.
