Who else thinks that chocolate and peanut butter are one of the greatest flavor pairings for desserts?

The flavor combination is exceptionally good in a fluffy, frozen whipped cream treat. It's a keto snack that's so quick and easy to make, you may want to keep a stash in the freezer at all times.

The best part is these frozen peanut butter keto fat bombs come in at only 4 grams net carbs each. They’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with some healthy fats.

If you love low-carb frozen desserts, you have to give these easy treats a try!

Instructions

This recipe comes together by first freezing the peanut butter whipped cream base then coating each in rich ganache.

1. Make the fluffy peanut butter base. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and peanut butter to the whipped cream, then mix with a fork or whisk until combined.
2. Freeze to set. Place the mixture into a quart size baggie. Cut a small hole in the tip. Line a muffin pan or use silicone molds.  Squeeze the mixture out of the bag into the molds. Place in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours to set.

3. Make the ganache. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the heavy whipping cream until it boils. Add the bakers chocolate and stir in until completely melted. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined. Let the mixture come to room temperature.
4. Add the chocolate coating. Remove the frozen whips from the freezer and dip each one into the chocolate to coat the bottom. Place the whips on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze. 

Your chocolate peanut butter fat bombs are ready to enjoy! Store them in a covered container in the freezer and serve frozen.

Can Cool Whip Be Used?

You may be tempted to use a pre-made non-dairy whipped topping instead of making your own whipped cream. In fact, I’ve seen similar recipes for low-carb cool whip desserts.

But is cool whip keto?

Technically, it’s low in carbs. There are 3 total carbs in a serving size of 2 tablespoons.

Heavy whipping cream doubles in volume when you whip it. So you need about double the amount of cool whip as heavy whipping cream. This means you would need about 3 cups, which is 48 tablespoons.

That would come out to 72 carbs from cool whip alone in this recipe, or 12 carbs per serving. So cool whip is not ideal for the peanut butter whipped cream if you’re trying to keep your carbs low.

Cool whip is also full of ingredients that should be avoided. In fact, the first two ingredients are hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup!

If you are not strict keto and want to dip some berries in cool whip every once in awhile, you’re probably okay. But it should only be enjoyed in strict moderation.

Macros Per Serving

The base for these keto peanut butter fat bombs is so easy to make. You only need three ingredients: heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and peanut butter! It’s so delicious, you’ll probably be licking it off the beaters.

And of course, the ganache adds another level of decadence. 

So is this combination of chocolate and peanut butter whipped cream keto friendly?

When I make this recipe, I divide everything into a regular sized muffin pan, which gives me six large servings.

At that size, each frozen whip has about 260 calories, 4 grams of total carbohydrates, and 0 grams of fiber. You also get 26 grams of fat per piece!
