How to make chocolate cups

These Chocolate Cheesecake Cups have been one of my favorite snacks lately. With the addition of peppermint extract in the cream cheese filling, these make a great holiday treat. Since these is a lot of chocolate in these cheesecake cups, I can’t really call them low-carb and Keto, but they are gluten and sugar-free and very easy to make.

I’m not very experienced, but I do enjoy making homemade candy.

What ingredients do you need for these Chocolate Cheesecake Cups?

• dark chocolate (I used sugar-free)
• cream cheese
• heavy cream
• sweetener
• peppermint extract
• crushed candy canes

What chocolate to use for these sugar-free Chocolate Cheesecake Cups?

The type of chocolate you are going to use, depends on the final result you’d like to achieve and your taste preference. Since I try to follow a low-carb diet, I used Lily’s 70 % cocoa dark chocolate. Other types of sugar-free chocolate could be used.

You can use any couverture chocolate of your choice as well.
