Equipment

  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 8-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set the tart tin on a cookie sheet or flat tray so the removable bottom won’t come out of the pan while you are working with it.
  • Melt half the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Pour all but two tablespoons of the melted chocolate into the tart tin and spread it around to coat the entire inside of the tin. Use a spoon or brush to smooth chocolate up the sides of the tin, until the entire surface is covered.
  • Place the tart tin on a tray or baking sheet and put it in the freezer on a flat surface. When the chocolate has begun to set (about 5 minutes), use the reserved melted chocolate to reinforce the sides of the tart shell and fill in any thin parts or holes.
  • Return the tart shell to the freezer to set.
  • Make the peanut butter filling by beating the softened butter with the powdered erythritol with an electric mixer.
  • Add the Keto Chow and mix until combined. Add the heavy cream and continue to mix until the cream is absorbed. The mixture will be thick and pliable with a dough-like texture.
  • Pat the filling into a flat disc to fit into the chocolate tart shell.
  • Pull the chocolate out of the freezer and press the peanut butter filling into the tart pan, pressing it into the chocolate to fill the edges.
  • In a clean bowl, melt the remaining 8 oz. chocolate in the microwave using the same method as before.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, smoothing it to the edges to be sure it meets the set chocolate and seals the filling in.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt, crushed peanuts, or mini chips over top while the chocolate is still warm, if desired.
  • Place the tart tin back in the freezer to set the chocolate.
  • When the chocolate has set, carefully remove the peanut butter cup from the tin by popping the bottom out gently.
  • Cut into pieces and enjoy.*
