Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup almond flour, 2 tbsp natural peanut butter, 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp erythritol sweetener. Mix thoroughly until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture resembles cookie dough.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp heavy cream to achieve a creamy and smooth consistency; adjust the cream slightly if needed to reach a soft dough texture.
  3. Step 3: Fold in 2 tbsp sugar-free dark chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
  4. Step 4: Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up slightly before serving, or enjoy immediately for a softer texture.
