A frozen treat

Besides being totally addicted to the flavor combo of peanut butter and chocolate I like that these frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars are only 4g net carbs and they take time to eat.

I hate when I have a dessert that in 2-3 bites is gone. This lick-able treat takes a good 10-12 minutes to eat. Pull one of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars from the freezer and you can really enjoy it…and not need to go back for a second or third helping.

Just like Baskin Robbins

My favorite ice cream flavor of all time is Peanut Butter ‘N Chocolate. Now with these Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars I can have this treat and still stay in Ketosis.

I remember it from my childhood as rich and cream with savory swirls of salty peanut butter. I’d get a scoop (or sometimes TWO) and just enjoy each bite.

Many years and loads of sugar later I now realize the sugar bomb I was ingesting with each bite. A small 4oz scoop in a cup comes in at a whooping 25g or carbs. No wonder I was always a little chubby as a kid. As an adult I just can not fathom the amount of sugar that is in EVERYTHING!

Hot Summer treats

Picture this…hot summer night and you’ve got a hankering for something cold and sweet. You open the freezer and there waiting for you is a creamy and chocolatey Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars.

That rich and velvety texture satisfies every little sweet desire while trying to stay low carb.

There aren’t many commercially available options for keto and low carb treats that are 1. affordable 2. delicious and 3. are actually low carb. Until now with these Keto friendly Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Pops.

Easy, but you MUST wait

I make a few different flavors of these Keto Bars or my Keto Creamsicles at one time to always have a bunch in the freezer. For the best results you really need to freeze them for 24 hours or more for a solid pop.

You can see my tips below when it comes to a solid freeze and storing your pops.

Keto Ice Cream is always too icy

For the past 3 years I have been searching for a soft and scoopable keto friendly ice cream, but no luck so far. They all are just too icy and rock hard.

I’ve had some success with using Xylitol in my ice creams, but that doesn’t always work well. Don’t get me wrong…I like Xylitol but, there are issues with gas and tummy distress.

Also there is the real danger to animals if ingested.

No vodka used

Some recipes call for vodka to help with the iciness. If I’m serving to kids or people that don’t drink then we have a problem. I always have to disclose that my triple berry ice cream is spiked with liquor…and that doesn’t always go off so well.

It’s such a minimal amount to keep the iciness at bay and you don’t even taste it, but some people don’t like that.

Strawberry Cream Popsicles are just 1g net carb

Who doesn’t like a Keto Fudge Bar?

In comes the popsicle. Or more specifically a creamy and velvety Keto Fudge Bar. With all the chocolatey sweetness of the original, but with almost no carbs.

Ok…there are technically 2g net carbs per, but still so low. It’s a little dessert like this that got me through those late night cravings for something sweet…without totally falling off the wagon.

Fudgesicle and Popsicle Tips

It’s always fun to be handed a perfectly shaped Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge bars straight from the freezer on a hot summer day.  I get a skip in my step when I make my own pops at home. To pull one out of the freezer that looks like store bought is a treat in itself.

Professional looking fudgesicle or popsicle molds don’t take up a ton of space in your freezer. They also wash right in your dishwasher.

Once your pops are frozen solid you can store your Keto fudge bars or popsicles in a ziploc. I have a silicone mold and a metal/plastic fudgesicle or popsicle mold

The molds

Both the plastic and silicone versions work well. I prefer the silicone mold to the plastic mold as I can peel back the sides of the fudgesicle or popsicle.  Either version is inexpensive and easily found at Target or on Amazon at this link.

The molds range from ($12-30). You can use them over and over and over again for your Keto Fudgesicles or in any flavor imaginable. For a small investment in your own molds you can use them again and again.

However…you don’t need fancy fudgesicle or popsicle molds! Any small paper dixie cup will work just fine. Sometimes I even prefer the small paper cups to the molds as they are smaller serving size and there’s no clean up.

The molds typically come with a cover to hold the stick in place. If you are using paper cups simply wait until your mixture is slightly frozen. Place a fudgesicle or popsicle stick in the center of the slushy cup.

If the stick still falls to the side you can wait a little longer for your slush to get a little thicker.

The un-molding

To unmold your Keto fudge bars from the plastic molds simply set the mold out on the counter for 5-7 minutes.  If you can not wait then dip the mold in warm water for 30 seconds to a minute. Then slide a single fudgesicle out.

The silicone molds are slightly easier as you gently peel back the sides of each fudgesicle. Give your pop a tug every couple seconds to see if they’re loose yet. We don’t want to soften them any more than absolutely necessary. 

Besides being totally addicted to the flavor combo of peanut butter and chocolate I like that these frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars are only 4g net carbs and they take time to eat.

If the stick comes out before the fudgesicle or popsicle is fully frozen then they just weren’t frozen enough…and that really sucks! You’ll want to freeze your Keto fudge bars or popsicles at least overnight.

Preferably a full 24 hours of freezing just to be certain they’re hard enough to unmold. Trust me…there is nothing more sad than having part of your slush still at the bottom of the mold.

Little paper cups are perfect

The cool thing about using the little paper dixie cups is that there is no unmolding to be done.  Simply remove your cup from the freezer and tear away the paper cup to enjoy. I use a small knife or a pair of scissors to make a small cut in the top of the cup. Then I tear the cup awayfrom your Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars. Easy peasy!

If you use the molds there is another step in the process before you can enjoy your Keto fudge bars. After I unmold all of the fudgesicles and popsicles and I place them on the tray.

Then I refreeze them for 10 minutes out of their molds before putting them in a freezer bag. You can also separate them in their freezer bags by placing extra strips of parchment paper in between each pop. 

Storage

Plastic freezer bags (gallon sized ziploc bags) ensure that your popsicles don’t pick up the flavor or smell of anything else in your freezer.  No one likes the taste of Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars with a hint of enchilada casserole, right?

This extra step ensures that any melting/softening that happens when you unmold them doesn’t mess up their shapes. You wouldn’t want to cause them to stick to one another.

The parchment paper in between each pop as you place in the freezer bag keeps the fudgesicles and popsicles separated.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan vigorously whisk together the cream, cocoa powder and sweetener. Bring to a slow simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set to cool a bit.
  • Pour chocolate mixture in to a large measuring cup with a spout. Mix in the almond milk and dd vanilla extract. While whisking the chocolate mixture sprinkle in the xanthan gum and whisk together. Set aside to cool more.
  • Using a butter knife smear a small amount of peanut butter into each popsicle mold or dixie cup. You want the peanut butter to stick to the sides in places for the desired swirl effect at the end.
  • Once the chocolate mixture has cooled to lukewarm pour into each prepared mold. Cover your mold and place your popsicle sticks into each of the fudgsicles.
  • Freeze for at least 24 hours. Follow popsicle and fudgsicles tips to unmold and store. Enjoy!

Notes

*Popsicle mold is not necessary. You can use small paper dixie cups just as well.
