Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

smooth peanut butter
4 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), divided
1 ½ tablespoons vanilla stevia extract, divided
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

Line 10 cups of a 12-cup mini-cupcake tin with parchment paper cups.
Combine peanut butter, 2 tablespoons ghee, and 1/2 tablespoon of stevia in a small microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Heat in a microwave for 10 to 15 seconds, if necessary. Pour mixture into the lined mini-cupcake cups, filling each halfway. Place tin in the freezer while you make topping.
Combine remaining 2 tablespoons ghee and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is soft and mixes easily with ghee. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon stevia and heavy cream and mix until smooth.
Remove cupcake tin from freezer. Fill the rest of each cup with chocolate mixture. Return tin to freezer for at least 30 minutes. Store peanut butter cups in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator.

Tips:

Use creamy peanut butter. This will give your fudge cups a smooth and creamy texture.
Chill the peanut butter mixture before filling the cups. This will help the fudge cups set more quickly.
Don't overfill the cups. Leave a little bit of room at the top so that the fudge has room to expand as it sets.
Refrigerate the fudge cups for at least 2 hours before serving. This will give them time to set completely.
Store the fudge cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
