Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s or ChocZero)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Filling:
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- Optional: sugar-free mini marshmallows, cinnamon, or sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Mold: Clean and dry a silicone semi-sphere mold. Set up all ingredients and tools for easy access.
- Melt the Chocolate: Heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in 15-second intervals in the microwave, stirring each time, until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
- Make the Shells: Spoon melted chocolate into each mold cavity and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon or pastry brush. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes, then repeat for a second layer.
- Prepare the Filling: Mix cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and optional extras in a small bowl.
- Fill and Seal: Remove chocolate shells from the mold carefully. Fill half of each shell with cocoa mix and optional marshmallows. Warm a plate and melt the edges of an empty shell slightly, then press it onto the filled half to seal. Use melted chocolate to fill gaps if needed.
- Decorate (Optional): Drizzle leftover chocolate over the bombs and sprinkle with crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or sugar-free sprinkles.
- Store or Use: Store in an airtight container or use immediately. Place a bomb in a mug, pour hot almond milk over it, stir, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use gloves to handle chocolate shells and avoid fingerprints.
- Experiment with flavors like peppermint extract or a pinch of chili powder for variety.
- Store in a cool place to prevent melting.
