I love peanut butter. Once I went to a family dinner and someone made a peanut butter pie that I still think about it. That is why I decided to make these keto peanut butter cheesecake mousse desserts for our Valentine’s Day dinner.
I should have made something my husband would like but I’m much more of a sweets person so I thought he would forgive me. 🙂 They are super easy to make and I even put a little chocolate heart for some Valentine’s Day decoration. They are small but filling and have only 3.2g net carbs!

How To Make Low Carb Chocolate Hearts
These chocolate hearts are really easy to make. You can see the photos below of how I did it.
- Take half of the small Moser’s dark chocolate bar and melted in the microwave for about 1 minute. Take it out and mix it well until everything is melted.
- Then on a wax paper covered baking tray use a little spoon and put a little dollop on the wax paper.
- Then taking the spoon and push the melted chocolate up on the sides and then dragged the bottom down to form a heart.
- Freeze them for 5 minutes and you are good to go!
What Type Of Chocolate Should I Use?
I like this Moser 85% dark chocolate I get at Aldi. Each little bar like the one below has only 6 net carbs. I used ½ of the bar and got 4 hearts made. So that means each heart has roughly 0.8g net carbs. You can use any chocolate you want but remember to count the carbs.
Below you can see that I also shaved the chocolate with a peeler and I also have Lilly’s chocolate chips. You can decorate with any of these things if you wish. I liked the shavings and hearts the best.
How To Make The Keto Peanut Butter Cheesecake?
First let your cream cheese soften on the counter. Then add it to a mixing bowl along with the heavy cream, sweetener, peanut butter and peanut butter powder. Cream all the ingredients together with a hand mixer and you are done.
If you want you can pipe them into a little dessert dish. I used to use 4 oz mason jars but my husband took all of mine to put in his homemade chili powders. The ones below are 3.5 ounce dishes. I found these on Amazon that are similar.
Where I Purchased The Ingredients
I got most of the ingredients at Aldi. The chocolate bars, peanut butter powder, unsweetened peanut butter, cream cheese and heavy cream. The Swerve sweetener and Lily’s chocolate chips I buy on Amazon.
Refrigerate these until you are ready to eat them and they keep for a few days. My batch made 5 of this size, so use that as a guide for your containers. Remember they are very rich and filling so less is more.
I hope you like these keto peanut butter cheesecake cups as much as I do. I loved them!! For most of the ingredients for this recipe you can find them on my Amazon shop here. The nutritional information for 1 serving is:
274 cals / 25.8g fat / 5.4g carbs / 2.2g fiber / 5.5g protein = 3.2g net carbs*
Using 1 Moser 85% dark chocolate bars, each heart has roughly 0.8g net carbs.
*Note I do not include the Swerve sweetener in the calculation as it has no carbs nor calories. Also I did not include the chocolate in the mousse calculation either.

I just made this with peanut butter powder and it turned out fantastic!! Even my 6 year old daughter loved it and she never likes any of my keto desserts. What a perfect, simple recipe to satisfy my craving for a treat. Thank you SO much!!!
Denise
Hi Misty, so glad you liked them! … and your little one too!
Marisa Franca
That is so cute. I love it!! I can use those little hearts any time. And your peanut butter mousse sounds so good. I love creamy desserts rather than anything heavy. I can almost taste that cold creamy mousse. I think I’ll surprise Hubby with this. I know he’ll enjoy it.
Veena Azmanov
Oh, this sounds so flavorful. I love how simple and easy this is. I could enjoy this when I am on my diet too. Such a pretty color too.
Arlene Mobley

Denise
If any one can, Jolina it is you!
Dee
This looks so good. I am going to Aldi’s right now so I can make it. Thanks.
BTW is Peanut Powder and Peanut Flour the same thing?? I been wondering about that.
Denise
Hi Dee, this is what I found from the National Peanut Board “Peanut Flour vs. Powdered Peanut Butter
Peanut Flour: Are Crushed and defatted peanuts made into a flour form. Peanut flour is available in multiple roasts and the fat content varies from 12% to 28%.
Powdered Peanut Butter: Are Ground peanuts into a flour form usually with added ingredients like sweeteners or salt and came come in several flavors.”
I used Peanut Butter Powder that I got from Aldi but I’m not sure it’s always there. You can just use more peanut butter if you want. I was hoping to get more flavor with less carbs, so just watch what the carbs are for any product you use. Good luck!
Gloria
The classic combination of flavours is always welcomed. My grandkids are coming over for a sleepover. I know they would love this for dessert (on both nights). Love those little hearts.
Denise
It’s actually my favorite combination! I wish I had more refined taste but I don’t. 🙂
Lois Christensen
Oh my word, this looks amazing! And I love that I found a dessert I can enjoy while I’m trying to lose weight.
Denise
You won’t even know it’s a keto recipe.
