Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup Swerve Confectioners
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Confectioners
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp whipping cream

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tbsp Swerve Confectioners
  • 3 tbsp granular allulose
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp glucomannan
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2.25 oz HighKey brownie bites (crushed)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener (Swerve Confectioners), and salt. Stir in melted butter until all ingredients are well incorporated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust layer.
  2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer: Whip 1/2 cup of whipping cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until soft and creamy. Add the peanut butter, 1/2 cup sweetener, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly. Gently fold in the whipped cream and the additional 2 tablespoons of whipping cream to maintain a light texture. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator to set.
  3. Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream and unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until just simmering. Meanwhile, whisk together the egg and egg yolks in a bowl. Temper the eggs by slowly adding a small amount of the hot cream mixture while whisking continuously to prevent curdling. Return the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan and continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly. Add cocoa powder and whisk until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency. Remove from heat and stir in glucomannan, butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.
  4. Assemble and Chill: Once cooled, spread the chocolate pudding layer over the chilled peanut butter layer. Sprinkle crushed HighKey brownie bites evenly on top. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 3 hours to fully set. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are tempered properly to prevent scrambling when adding hot cream.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal and serving.
  • Glucomannan acts as a thickener and is essential for pudding consistency in keto desserts.
  • This cake must be refrigerated for best texture and flavor.
  • HighKey brownie bites are keto-friendly; you can substitute with any low-carb brownie bits if unavailable.
