Keto Tiger Butter Ingredients

For the Creamy Base
• Creamy peanut butter – a must for that rich, smooth texture that forms the base of your Keto Tiger Butter.
• Sugar-free white chocolate chips – these add sweetness without the carbs, making it perfect for your low-carb lifestyle.
• Cocoa butter – this key ingredient enhances the creaminess while also deepening the chocolate flavor.

For the Sweetness
• Swerve Confectioners – a delicious sugar substitute that helps keep the bars satisfying without the added sugar, perfect for Keto Tiger Butter!

For the Topping
• Heavy whipping cream – used to melt the unsweetened chocolate for a luscious drizzle that contrasts beautifully with the peanut butter.
• Unsweetened chocolate – brings a rich, deep cocoa flavor that complements the sweetness of the bars.
• Vanilla extract – just a hint adds a warm depth to the flavor profile.

How to Make Keto Tiger Butter

Prepare the pan: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend up the sides. This makes it easy to lift the bars out later.
Melt the base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine creamy peanut butter, sugar-free white chocolate chips, and chopped cocoa butter. Whisk until the mixture is melted and smooth, approximately 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of Swerve Confectioners until fully incorporated.
Spread evenly: Pour the peanut butter mixture into the lined baking pan, spreading it all the way to the edges for an even thickness.
Simmer the cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy whipping cream to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped unsweetened chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes to melt before proceeding.
Combine ingredients: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Swerve Confectioners and the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
Drizzle and swirl: Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan. Use a knife to gently swirl it throughout, creating a marbled effect.
Chill: Refrigerate the pan for about 1-2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
Slice and serve: Once firm, lift the tiger butter out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into 16 bars with a sharp knife.

Optional: Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before serving for an extra flavor boost.

Expert Tips for Perfect Keto Tiger Butter

• Use Quality Peanut Butter: Choose a creamy, natural peanut butter without added sugars for the best flavor and texture in your Keto Tiger Butter.

• Watch the Heat: When melting the ingredients, keep the heat on medium and stir frequently to avoid scorching, ensuring a smooth finish.

• Swirl Wisely: For beautifully marbled bars, drizzle the chocolate gently and use a knife to create subtle swirls without overmixing.

• Chill Time Matters: Allow sufficient time for the mixture to firm up in the refrigerator. Skipping this step may result in softer bars that aren’t easy to cut.

• Storage Tips: Store your Keto Tiger Butter bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week—if they last that long!

Keto Tiger Butter Recipe FAQs

What should I look for in ripe peanut butter?
Absolutely! When selecting peanut butter for your Keto Tiger Butter, make sure to choose a creamy variety that doesn’t contain added sugars or oils. Look for a natural peanut butter that is smooth and easy to whisk—this will ensure the best texture and flavor for your bars!

How should I store Keto Tiger Butter?
I recommend placing your Keto Tiger Butter bars in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for up to 1 week. If you’re like me and want to have a stash for later, they’ll last even longer when frozen. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Can I freeze Keto Tiger Butter bars? How should I do it?
Yes, you can definitely freeze Keto Tiger Butter! Start by individually wrapping each bar in plastic wrap, ensuring they’re well sealed to prevent freezer burn. Place the wrapped bars in a freezer-safe container and store them for up to 3 months. When you want to enjoy one, simply move it to the fridge for a few hours or let it sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

What if my bars are too soft to cut?
Very! If your Keto Tiger Butter bars are too soft to cut after chilling, it might be because they need more time in the fridge. I suggest chilling them for at least 1-2 hours, and if they’re still soft, try putting them in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes. This should help them firm up significantly for easier slicing.

Are Keto Tiger Butter bars safe for pets?
While the ingredients in Keto Tiger Butter are safe for humans, please be cautious! Chocolate can be toxic to dogs, so if you have a pet, it’s best to keep these delicious bars out of reach. Always check your treats for pet-friendly ingredients before sharing any human food with your canine companions.

How can I adapt the recipe for allergies?
Definitely! If you have nut allergies, consider swapping out the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter. It offers a similar creamy texture while being nut-free. For those avoiding dairy, using coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream is a great alternative. Just remember to ensure that the chocolate chips and cocoa butter are also dairy-free for a complete allergy-friendly treat!
