Ingredients

Instructions

  • Use a double boiler to melt the cocoa butter (2 Ounces) and unsweetened baking chocolate (1 ounce).
  • Stir these ingredients together until they’re fully melted and combined.
  • Add the erythritol (6 tablespoons) and salt (a pinch), and stir until they’re incorporated.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (2 teaspoons).
  • Pour the melted chocolate into your chocolate chip mold and place it in the fridge. Alternatively, you can pour the melted chocolate into a pastry bag and cut a small hole in the tip, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and create chips.
  • The chocolate chips will set in about an hour in the fridge, but you can always place them in the freezer if you’re craving them sooner. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Chocolate. I love Lily's chocolate chips for this (they make dark, semi-sweet, and milk) but you can always make your own low carb chocolate by following my recipe!  
  • Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste. 
  • The nutritional information below is based on 1 serving for the entire recipe. I know you wont eat the whole recipe as a serving, but sharing the macros this way is easiest for you to calculate the nutritional information based on your preferred serving size. This is because everyone will yield a different number of "chips" based on the method you use to create them, or the mold you use.
  • To calculate the nutritional information for your chips, divide the macros below by the number of servings you create with your version, and viola!
  • Cacao and cocoa butter are 2 different forms of creating butter from cacao beans -- cacao is cold pressed, whereas cocoa is heated. Both will work in this recipe.
  • For milk chocolate chips - use 0.5 oz unsweetened baking chocolate.
  • For dark chocolate chips - use 2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate.
