Keto Chocolate Candies Recipe – How to make low carb sugar free chocolate candy dessert treats filled with strawberries.
Keto Chocolate Candies Recipe
This keto chocolate candies recipe is easy to follow and creates a decadent chocolate sweet treat.
I tend to cook up a whole 500g/1.1lb bag of strawberries, take what I need for the candies and store the rest in the fridge to mix through smoothies and yogurt.
I only started experimenting with tempering chocolate recently. It’s really not as tricky as you may have been lead to believe. I found this video to be helpful in explaining the process.
You’ll need a mold of some sort to form your candies, you can either use an actual chocolate mold (like this one on Amazon) or even use silicone ice cube trays which come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.
Keto Chocolate Candies Recipe
- 500g/1.1lb Bag of Frozen Strawberries
- 1/4 Cup Stevia
- Juice of half a lime or lemon
- 4.4oz/125g Keto Chocolate
- Start by preparing the strawberry filling by placing the strawberries into a saucepan on the stove top over medium heat.
- Stir the strawberries regularly until they soften to a puree.
- Mix through the stevia and lime or lemon juice then either mash or blend until smooth to your liking. You can pass the strawberry puree through a sieve and pop it back on to the heat to reduce further if you like.
- Set the strawberry filling aside to cool and then see to your chocolate.
- Break the chocolate into chips and then place two thirds of the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan with bubbling water, keep the other third of chocolate handy.
- Stir the chocolate to help it melt and as soon as it’s all melted, remove from the heat and stir through the other third of the chocolate.
- Pour the melted chocolate into chocolate molds, using a spoon or brush to help the chocolate reach every corner of the mold.
- Tip the mold over the bowl to shake off any excess and then place into the fridge to set for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has set, fill each one about 3/4 full with the strawberry filling then place back into the fridge for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the chocolates from the fridge and pour over the rest of the melted chocolate, smoothing the top to help it cover every corner.
- Return the chocolates to the fridge for a final time to fully set, give it at least half an hour and then pop the chocolates out and enjoy.
