¼ cup powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
½ cup heavy whipping cream

For the Chocolate Coating

8 ounces (225 g) sugar-free dark chocolate
1 tablespoon coconut oil or cocoa butter

Optional Garnishes

Unsweetened cocoa powder
Sugar-free chocolate drizzle
Flaky sea salt
Finely chopped roasted almonds
Unsweetened shredded coconut

Preparation Time, Chilling Time & Serving

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Chilling Time: 2 hours
Rest Time: 10 minutes
Serving: 12 candy bars or 24 bite-sized pieces

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.

Add the powdered sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.

Continue mixing until completely incorporated.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

This creates the signature fluffy texture that resembles the classic candy bar.

Step 3: Fold the Mixture Together

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula.

Continue folding until the filling becomes smooth, airy, and fully combined.

Avoid overmixing to preserve the light texture.

Step 4: Shape the Candy

Line a loaf pan or small baking dish with parchment paper.

Spread the chocolate filling evenly to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.

Freeze for 1–2 hours until firm.

Once chilled, remove from the pan and cut into rectangular candy bars or bite-sized squares.

Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Coating

Melt the sugar-free chocolate and coconut oil together using short intervals in the microwave or over a double boiler.

Stir until completely smooth and glossy.

Step 6: Coat the Candy

Using two forks, dip each frozen candy bar into the melted chocolate.

Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the bars onto a parchment-lined tray.

Step 7: Chill Again

Refrigerate the coated candy bars for about 15–20 minutes until the chocolate shell has completely hardened.

Serve chilled or allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
