    Have you ever had Tiger Butter? Trust me, you are going to love this keto peanut butter white chocolate fudge. So creamy and so easy to make, it’s a low carb treat your whole family will enjoy. This post is sponsored by ChocZero.

    A stack of keto tiger butter with a bite taken out of one piece.

    The first time I was introduced to the joys of tiger butter was at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, back when I was in university.

    Ever a lover of all things chocolate, hearing that a new speciality chocolate store had opened made my heart flutter in excitement. And it was a beautiful sight to behold, all those ridiculously oversized turtles and peanut butter cups stacked row upon row. It was my idea of heaven.

    One of the treats I purchased that day was a big round of Tiger Butter. I wasn’t really sure what it was, but it was a pale creamy confection swirled with dark chocolate, and it was in the shape of a very large peanut butter cup. One bite and I was in love.

    I shudder now to think about how that treat took my blood sugars for a wild ride. But now I can indulge in my own delicious sugar-free keto tiger butter!

    What is tiger butter?

    In case you’ve never heard of it, tiger butter is a peanut butter confection made with white chocolate, and then swirled with dark chocolate. It’s on the soft side, so it’s a little like fudge but not quite.

    It’s truly rich and delicious, and a little goes a long way.

    Most conventional recipes for tiger butter call for copious amounts of white chocolate and dark chocolate chips. Needless to say, the sugar content is through the roof.

    So if I was ever going to enjoy tiger butter again, I had to come up with a whole new way of making it.

    A sugar-free tiger butter recipe

    I first took it upon myself to create this sugar-free version in 2015. At that point, no one had successfully made truly good keto white chocolate, so I used a combination of cocoa butter and coconut butter to mimic the white chocolate texture and flavor.

    That version was absolutely delicious, but the white chocolate peanut butter portion was very liquid and thin when warm, and it was hard to swirl the dark chocolate in properly without it all sinking to the bottom of the pan. It was also quite firm when chilled, so it wasn’t truly like the tiger butter I remember.

    Of course, now ChocZero has created their fantastic keto white chocolate chips, and the game has changed entirely. I can’t get enough of finding new fun ways to work with them. And re-working my keto tiger butter recipe was high on my list.

    The old version was very good. The new version is off-the-charts delicious!

    Tips for making keto tiger butter

    This is a delightfully simple recipe, especially now that we can use keto white chocolate chips! A few tips for getting the tastiest low carb tiger butter:

    1. The recipe still uses a bit of cocoa butter, to help it be more firm at room temperature. It also adds some extra healthy fats and keeps the carb count down. If you don’t have this, you can use another ounce of the white chocolate chips.
    2. Choose your peanut butter wisely! As creamy as possible and if it’s the kind with a lot of oil, mix it in very well. I prefer natural brands that don’t require mixing, such as Justin’s.
    3. The dark chocolate swirl is really just a small amount of my keto chocolate ganache. Since it’s such a small amount, watch your cream carefully. It will simmer very quickly.
    4. Drizzle the dark chocolate right into the corners of the pan, so that every piece of tiger butter has a nice swirl of chocolate.
    5. Don’t skip lining the pan with parchment! It’s the only way to get the bars out in one piece.

    How to store tiger butter

    Once you’ve chilled and cut the tiger butter into bars, you will want to store it in the fridge in a covered container. It’s fine out of the fridge for an hour or two, but can get a bit too soft after that. Especially if you live in a warm climate.

    It’s great both straight of the fridge and and at room temperature, and it will keep for a week or two, as long as your cream is fresh!

      Hi Carolyn, do you think I could sub refined coconut oil for the cocoa butter?

        Yes BUT…. they will be much more melty at room temp so just be aware of that.

      Thank you for your recipes! I love white chocolate but really hate regular chocolate (I know I’m weird). I would like to omit the dark chocolate swirl completely- my question is should I add the vanilla and additional sweetener to the white choc/peanut butter mixture or omit that as well? Thanks again for sharing all your recipes, you’ve been a literal life saver for me on this journey.

        Keep everything in the white chocolate part the same.

      Would you be able to make this dairy free? What would you recommend trying?

        White chocolate contains dairy as it is, so there really isn’t a way to make this DF.

      My son and I just made this. When we did the dark chocolate it turned into a big clump. There was no drizzling it. What did we do wrong. We followed the directions. I just mixed it in and called it good. Now it’s siting in the fridge.

        Sounds like your chocolate seized! What brand were you using? The cheaper Baker’s brand often seizes, in my experience. Did you make sure it was off heat before you added the chocolate?

      Would unsweetened chocolate baking chips work? Such as Guittard or Lilys? (I want to make this immediately and its all I have, lol) I’m looking forward to trying the Choc Zero when I get my hands on some.

        So Lily’s isn’t unsweetened. It’s sugar-free, which is very different… it’s sweetened, it’s just not sweetened with sugar. Guittard sells both unsweetened and sweetened (with sugar). So I am not quite sure which one you plan to use.
