Chocolate Low Carb Pots de Creme

 
Chocolate Low Carb Pots de Creme
chocolate low carb pot de creme

This is more of a "faux de creme" than a real pot de creme which is really a custard with eggs. But our Chocolate Low Carb Pot de Creme is full fat, sugar free, egg free, Keto and Low Carb   It includes cream cheese, creme fraiche, cream, cocoa powder vanilla and artificial sweetener. It makes one large (about r ounce)serving but you can easily double it or more. Calories are 365 per serving compared to a regular pot de creme which is about 451 calories. Total carbs are 6.7g.

My husband and I shared it because it is so rich it seemed plenty for the two of us.

Ingredients

Instructions

Combine Ingredients

Combine the cream cheese, creme fraiche, and cream in a small bowl (about 6" in diameter).  Stir until the mixture is completely smooth.  **If you need to soften your ream cheese, microwave it using the defrost setting for 15 seconds (heat further in 5 second increments as needed.

Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine.  There should be no cocoa "bits" in the mixture.  Add the artificial sweetener (we used Splenda).

Stir in the vanilla extract and stir again until well combined.  Taste and adjust cocoa powder and sweetener to taste.  If you use too much cocoa powder it may get bitter.

Scrape the pot de creme mixture into a pot de creme cup, ramekin, or even a small espresso cup.  Chill 15 to 20 minutes in the freezer before serving.

Optionally

Sprinkle the top with roasted cocoa nibs or a dollop of whipped cream.  Although I like cocoa nibs and I liked the added "crunch" I don't think I'd run out and buy them just for this recipe.  I always love a dollop of whipped cream!
