Trust me, I take my chocolate and peanut butter very seriously.

How to make peanut butter popsicles
This is such a simple recipe with easily accessible ingredients. It takes only about 20 minutes of prep time!
Ingredients
- Cream cheese
- Creamy peanut butter
- Powdered sweetener
- Vanilla
- Heavy cream
- Sugar free dark chocolate
- Cocoa butter or coconut oil
Method
- Combine the first 5 ingredients
- Fill the popsicle molds
- Add the popsicle sticks
- Freeze until firm
- Dip in chocolate
- Enjoy!
Tips for this recipe
- You can combine the popsicle ingredients together in a bowl, or you can use a good blender to blend them up.
- The filling mixture is quite thick and hard to get into the molds. A few readers gave me a great tip: use a piping back to fill the molds with less mess. Also be sure to tap the molds firmly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Always melt the chocolate in a double boiler, with some cocoa butter or coconut oil. This helps avoid seizing and thins out the chocolate coating so it’s easier to dip.
- These peanut butter popsicles are very rich and filling. I recommend using smaller molds (2 oz or so), like these molds here. If you only have larger molds, simply fill them two thirds full.
- To get the popsicles out of the molds, simply run very hot water up and down the outside, then gently tug on the popsicle stick.
Dairy Free Option
Making dairy free peanut butter popsicles is easy. Simply use dairy free cream cheese like Kite Hill or Violife. Then swap out the heavy cream for some coconut cream.
And make sure your sugar free chocolate doesn’t have any added dairy. Dark chocolate is the best option.

Keto Peanut Butter Popsicles
Ingredients
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate chopped
- ½ ounce cocoa butter chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until well combined and smooth.
- Spoon or pipe into 12 popsicle molds and tap molds firmly on counter to release as many air bubbles as you can. Place popsicle sticks in the center of each (wooden sticks are preferable as they stay in the popsicles better).
- Freeze 4 hours until firm. Remove from the molds by running hot water over the outside, then gently twisting the sticks until they release. Keep in the freezer until ready to dip in chocolate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper and place in the freezer. Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Add the chopped chocolate and cocoa butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
- Dip a popsicle into the chocolate coating about half way, then let excess drip off back into bowl.
- When the chocolate is firm, place on the cookie sheet in freezer and repeat with the remaining popsicles.

Would Splenda, or just Powdered Sugar work for making these? They sound WONDERFUL and I’d like to try making them! I have both Splenda and Powdered Sugar on hand now. I’d hate to mess them up though!
Carolyn says
Yes, I think either would be fine. They don’t require bulk for consistency, so it should work. I’d do about 1/3 cup of sugar or sugar equivalent and skip the stevia altogether.
Tanya Moon says
Thank you, I’ll try it- maybe today!
Barbara says
Tip: I used a ziploc bag, filled it up with the filling then snipped corner and squeezed into popcycle molds … easy peasy 🙂
Lisa says
What a great idea! I’m having trouble getting mine out if the mold at the moment. Any suggestions??
Carolyn says
All you need to do is run it under hot water. I heat up my kettle and I run it over the individual sections of the mold. About 10 seconds and I can get them out easily.
Diane (createdbydiane) says
these look fabulous and yes, bring on summer!
Sandy says
Just curious as to why so much sweetener is needed? Would Splenda work? They sound delish!
Carolyn says
So much sweetener? It really wasn’t a lot and they were very good as is. You can try splenda, I just don’t like it. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, though. Good luck!
Russell van kraayenburg says
Yum and yum! I’ll a dozen please.
Carolyn says
Yeah, me too!
Sommer @ ASpicyPerspective says
Oh, wow! These look just perfect! Stunning photos, too! 🙂
mellissa @ ibreatheimhungry says
a) those are adorable, b) the photos…awesome, c) I wish I could go buy those in the store right now and eat the entire package. You would be filthy rich if you could make that happen. PLEASE make that happen. ASAP.

The Mom Chef ~ Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time says
I’m so glad that your weather’s finally warming up up there! It seems like spring has been so sluggish in making her way around the country. I’ll have to show these popsicles to Dudette. She will be begging me to make a batch as soon as possible. I’ll be more than happy to oblige! Thanks for sharing your creation. They look amazing.
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
Bring on the warm weather, I want popsicles!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
Chocolate and peanut butter were meant to be! These look so creamy and delicious!
Ayala Art says
Looks delicious! I will try them. But I have to say, 55F is a cold wintery day for me lol
shelly (cookies and cups) says
Oh my yes!

Stacy | Wicked Good Kitchen says
No better way to recycle the filling from your low carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tarts (love that recipe!) than making Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Popsicles for summer! Fabulous food photography here, too, Carolyn. 🙂 These popsicles shall save me…when I need to scratch that proverbial PB & Chocolate itch during warmer months. Thank you! xo
Joshua Hampton (Cooking Classes San Diego) says
These popsicles are just perfect, especially now that the weather is getting warmer.
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
Looks perfect my friend!
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
Oh these are awesome!
Kari says
Do you have to use powdered erythritol? I was finally able to get my hands on the Swerve brand, and similar to Z Sweet, I still find it to have a very pronounced cooling effect – almost giving everything a peppermint quality. Would granulated work fine?
Carolyn says
You don’t have to, but you might find your end product a touch grittier.
Sheila says
Where did you find the Swerve brand or Z Sweet? I live in south Florida, and have never even heard of these, let alone seen them in the stores. I look at the powered Splenda, etc, products all the time as this is what I generally use, but have never seen Swerve or Z Sweet.
Thanks!
Carolyn says
Swerve is becoming more and more available and should be released in many grocery chains along the east coast, soon, but you can always purchase it online easily at http://www.swervesweetener.com/103.html and if you use DREAM10, they give you 10% off. ZSweet is available in a lot of Whole Foods.
brenda says
Whole Foods carries Swerve, I know they have them in Florida, there is one near my Mom in West Palm. I don’t know about where you are though… sorry!
Carolyn says
Some Whole Foods do carry it…some don’t. It’s good that yours does!
DR35150 says
You can find good deals on Amazon
Joann says
I don’t use artificial anything,can I use regular white sugar?
Carolyn says
I don’t use artificial anything either. Swerve is an all-natural sweetener. But you can use powdered sugar.
Melanie says
Hi Shelia, I’ve found Swerve at Walmart and Publix.
Amber Hinson says
They have Swerve confectioner’s (finer, not granular, that you can use for baking) at Publix.
Anna says
What about using powder sugar can I substatution ?
Carolyn says
Yes, it’s a direct substitution for the sweetener in my recipe.
Jennifer Lewis says
Hi! I would suggest just putting it in your food processor or blender. I always powder my erythritol that way.
Carolyn says
That’s fine but it will still have some residual grittiness.
RavieNomNoms says
Perfection!! 🙂
jane g says
I don’t have popsicle molds. Any alternate suggestions? They sound amazing!
Carolyn says
Little paper cups work well!
Vanessa says
how about ice cube trays
Carolyn says
Sure, that would work.
