Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate (2 squares)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 teaspoons Fiberfit liquid
• 1/3 cup powdered erythritol
• Pinch of salt
• 1/8 cup inulin
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Silicone mold
• Oil or oil spray
• Mixing spoon
• Freezer

1. 
    
   Oil Mold

   Spray or oil the silicone mold lightly. Set it aside.

2. 
    
   Chocolate Squares

   Put the chocolate squares in the small bowl.

3. 
    
   Melt Chocolate

   Microwave the chocolates for about 1 1/2 minutes on high. Stir with the mixing spoon. If the chocolates aren't completely melted, microwave for about 20 more seconds. Stir again until completely melted and smooth.

4. 
    
   Add Coconut Oil

   Add the coconut oil and stir until it is melted and mixed with the chocolate well.

5. 
    
   Add Vanilla

   Add the vanilla and stir well.

6. 
    
   Add Fiberfit

   Add the Fiberfit and stir briefly. The mixture will start to thicken; don't overstir it.

7. 
    
   Add Erythritol

   Add the erythritol, but don't stir yet.

8. 
    
   Add Salt

   Add the salt. Now you can stir until well blended.

9. 
    
   Add Inulin

   Add the inulin and stir just until blended.

10. 
     
    Divide into Mold Cups

    Divide the chocolate mixture evenly into the mold cups.

11. 
     
    Pat Evenly & Freeze

    Pat the chocolate mixture as evenly as possible in the mold cups. Place the mold in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

12. 
     
    Remove Chocolates

    Remove the mold from the freezer and carefully remove the chocolates.
