Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry crumbs (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Blend the raspberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the puree to remove seeds.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sweetener until smooth and creamy.
- Add the raspberry puree, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture until light and fluffy.
- Spread the raspberry cream evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
- Freeze for 1–2 hours until firm enough to cut.
- Lift the slab from the pan and cut into 8 equal bars.
- Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate or spoon chocolate over the bars to coat them.
- Place coated bars on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberry crumbs if desired.
- Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate coating is fully set before serving.
Notes
- Straining the raspberry puree removes seeds for a smoother filling.
- Freeze the filling before dipping to keep the bars firm while coating with chocolate.
- Coconut oil helps create a glossy chocolate shell.
- Bars can be served slightly thawed for a softer creamy texture.
- Store bars with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
