8 Sweet And Delicious Keto Peanut Butter Desserts To Satisfy Your Cravings

8 Sweet And Delicious Keto Peanut Butter Desserts To Satisfy Your Cravings

Peanut butter is a great addition to any keto diet, being very low in carbs if consumed in small quantities while still containing enough fat to make it an ideal ingredient to utilize in multiple keto recipes, but if you really want the pure and fresh nutty flavor of peanut butter to stand out the most, you’re going to want to use it as part of a tasty dessert. 

The best part about this is there are literally hundreds of keto-friendly dessert recipes that use peanut butter as a core ingredient, and while this does allow you to pick out a cake, sundae, or cookie that looks the most appetizing, it can also be extremely overwhelming with there being so many, especially if you’re new to a keto diet and just want to get a few delicious low-carb recipes under your belt. 

That’s what we are here to help you with today as we have listed below 8 of the most delicious and easiest-to-make peanut butter desserts that will fit right into a keto diet, so without further ado, let’s take a closer look at each one!

1. Keto Peanut Butter Bars

Small, delightful, and packed full of nutty flavor, these buttery bars are completely sugar and grain free, with most of the underlying flavor coming from the sugar replacement sweetener, vanilla extract, and of course, the melted peanut butter which keeps these bite-size snacks soft and delicate in their texture. 

The sugar-free chocolate glaze covering the top of each bar is the icing on the cake, and because it also features a few tablespoons of butter, it means the glazing never becomes too hard to chew into, and instead, keeps each bar smooth and creamy. 

Once the bars are made, make sure to keep them in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving so that they can taste as light and refreshing as possible when it’s time to serve them. 

2. Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cheesecake

You can’t really beat a low-carb sugar-free cheesecake, especially when the filling is made out of a combination of delicious ingredients including peanut butter, full-fat cream cheese, and vanilla extract. 

As if that didn’t sound appetizing enough, you also have the chocolate swirl topping which is made using unsweetened cocoa powder and serves as a delicate and incredibly sweet topping that effortlessly glazes over the surface to make this a must-try for anyone on a keto diet who also happens to have a bit of a sweet tooth. 

Don’t forget to garnish the cheesecake after it’s been chilled for a few hours with sweetened whipped cream and a handful of coarsely chopped peanuts if you want to make the texture a little crunchier than normal. 

3. Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Looking for a dessert option that gives you a little more crunchiness?

If so, you need to try making these delightful peanut butter cookies, not only because of how delicious they are, but also because they are incredibly easy to make, requiring just 3 ingredients; peanut butter, granulated sweetener, and eggs. 

Additionally, these treats can be made in less than 10 minutes, so even if you suddenly start craving a small and sweet sugar-free snack in the middle of the day, or if the kids are asking you to whip something up for them to enjoy when the temperatures are beginning to rise outside, these cookies are a very simple option that always comes out tasting incredible. 

If you’ve prepared these cookies in bulk and have a few leftovers, the best way to store them is simply to keep them in the refrigerator where they will remain fresh for up to a month, so if you have a family gathering or a party planned in the next few weeks, don’t be afraid to prepare these treats early, trust us, your guests will be glad you did!

4. Keto Peanut Butter Mousse

Ready to serve in 5 minutes and requiring just 5 ingredients to make, this soft and delicate mousse recipe has an incredibly soft and smooth texture thanks to the heavy cream and the cream cheese which also help to give this no-bake recipe some structure, alongside keeping the whole thing light and refreshing. 

Keep in mind that the peanut butter you use for this recipe needs to be creamy butter, otherwise, if it’s too thick and chunky, it won’t mix well with the other ingredients and can ruin the entire dish, while also making it a little too nutty. 

Of course, you also want to be checking the label to make sure that the creamy peanut butter doesn’t contain any added sugars and is simply made from peanuts and palm oil. 

As soon as you take that first bite of this mousse dessert, you’ll immediately notice how sweet it is, and this is down to the mixture of the peanut butter and vanilla extract which combine to create a delicate and mouthwatering flavor that goes down so well in the spring and the summertime. 

5. Keto Peanut Butter Fat Bombs

These small, appetizing, chocolatey cakes are perfect for passing around the dinner table when everyone has finished the main dish, or you can even place them around the room for guests to enjoy at a party.

Either way, there aren’t many occasions where a few fat bombs will ever seem out of place. 

Fat bombs are made from a high-fat base which is usually made from coconut oil, and the peanut butter, sea salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder simply add as much flavor as possible to these miniature cakes while still keeping them free of sugar and very low in overall carbs. 

Depending on the size of your muffin tray, you can make huge batches of these tiny snacks in just a few minutes, so always try to keep your equipment in mind along with your ingredients if you know how many mouths you’re hoping to feed. 

6. Keto Peanut Butter Fudge

Fudge is already an incredibly popular dessert option that for many people is the go-to recipe after a large and satisfying main course, but by filling the core of them with peanut butter and a dash of brown sugar sweetener, it packs every bite full of flavor, containing a very intense and enjoyable sweetness that tastes incredibly refreshing after a hearty meal.

You also can’t forget about the butter which makes the fudge slices far easier to bite into by ensuring that the texture remains extremely creamy and a sheer delight on the taste buds. 

While sea salt is technically an optional ingredient, if you do want the fudge to be slightly crunchier when it’s time to tuck in, you should definitely consider sprinkling some of it as a garnish over the top once the pieces are ready to serve. 

7. Keto Peanut Butter And Chocolate Pie

Mixing peanut butter with a chocolate cookie crust may sound a little too good to be true for many people, but it’s exactly what this recipe does to form a large and very fulfilling low-carb chocolate pie that contains vanilla, whipping cream, mascarpone cheese, and many more ingredients at its core so that you get an explosion of flavor with every bite you take. 

As for the topping, the leftover peanut butter and chopped salted peanuts give you a lot to crunch down on, while the cream helps to keep the surface moist and easy to bite into. 

If you’re looking for a keto-friendly dessert option that looks the part, but also tastes incredible at the same time, this pie recipe can be whipped up in just 30 minutes and is definitely one of the most visually appealing keto desserts out there. 

8. Keto Creamy Peanut Butter Balls

Similar to fat bombs but a lot softer and creamier, these bite-size dessert balls are actually made from natural unsweetened creamy peanut butter to make them as soft and delicate in their texture as possible, alongside elevating the sweetness of their flavor up to a whole new level. 

They are very low in carbs, but they have an extremely high protein content and are packed full of healthy fats, making them the perfect easy-to-make dessert for anyone following a keto diet. 

Speaking of easy-to-make, you can make up to 10 of these miniature snacks in 10 minutes, and if you refrigerate them so that they come out as fresh and tasty as possible, you’re only going to be spending around an hour overall on making them, so feel free to make a few more batches if you have enough time to spare.

Summary

No matter if you have some regular peanut butter stored away, or the creamy version, there are more than a few delightful keto-friendly recipes that you can whip up for you and the family to enjoy today, so with that being said, try out a few of these ones the next time you’re in the mood for a sweet treat which is guaranteed to satisfy your cravings.
