I love keeping a jar of these Keto Roasted Pecan Chocolate Clusters on hand, especially during the holiday season. They are SO good and ridiculously easy to make. They also really satisfy my craving for a sweet-yet-healthy quick keto snack in the afternoon.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 14 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For Roasting the Pecans:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 120 grams raw pecans

For the Caramel Filling:

  • 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup Butter Vanilla Beef Protein powder (or any vanilla collagen or beef protein powder)
  • salt and additional sweetener to taste

For the Chocolate Filling:

  • 14 tablespoons sugar-free milk chocolate (or use dairy-free), melted

Instructions

  1. Add the butter to a skillet and melt on medium heat.  Add the nuts and stir frequently for 5 minutes until the nuts begin to brown.  Remove from heat and set the nuts in a bowl to the side.
  2. In a small saucepan, add the peanut butter and sugar-free syrup.  Melt on low heat until nut butter is fully melt.  Remove from heat and stir in the protein powder.  Taste the mixture and add any additional sweetener or salt to taste. 
  3. Add the roasted nuts and stir to combine.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly between 14 silicon wells (or use a cookie scoop and place on parchment paper).  Place the caramel nut clusters in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from freezer and pop the clusters from the silicon mold.  Place the cluster in the fridge and allow the silicon mold to come to room temperature.
  6. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir and return to the microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate has fully melted.
  7. Place a scant 1 tablespoon of chocolate into each well.  Press 1 cold caramel cluster into the well, pressing down to force the chocolate up the sides of the well.  Repeat with all 14 caramel clusters and place the molds in the fridge or freezer until firm.

Notes

  • each protein powder company taste different and has varying levels of sweetness and saltiness so you may need to add some sweetener or salt to suit your taste
  • store the clusters in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
