🛒 Ingredients
For the Fluffy Nougat Center:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 ½ cups sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
🧾 Ingredient Notes
- Heavy Cream: Whipped into stiff peaks to create that classic fluffy nougat texture.
- Cream Cheese: Adds structure and creaminess to the filling.
- Sweetener: Powdered form blends smoothly without graininess.
- Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: Look for keto-friendly chocolate sweetened with stevia or erythritol.
- Coconut Oil: Helps the chocolate melt smoothly and creates a glossy finish for coating.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until it forms stiff peaks. It should look thick, fluffy, and cloud-like. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Nougat Base
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sweetener, cocoa powder, and vanilla until creamy and smooth. No lumps!
Step 3: Fold to Create the Fluffy Center
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Do not stir aggressively — you want to keep as much air as possible for that classic Musketeer fluffy texture.
Step 4: Spread & Freeze
Line your pan with parchment paper. Spread the nougat mixture evenly and smooth the top. Freeze for 30–40 minutes or until firm.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until silky and smooth.
Step 6: Coat & Chill
Slice the nougat into bar shapes. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, coating fully, and place back onto parchment paper. Chill again for 10–15 minutes until set.
Enjoy the rich, melt-in-your-mouth candy bar of your keto dreams!
💡 Pro Tips & Variations
- Flavor Swap: Add almond extract instead of vanilla for a “Nutella-style” flavor.
- Double Chocolate: Mix sugar-free chocolate chunks into the nougat for extra richness.
- Holiday Version: Sprinkle sea salt, crushed keto nuts, or sugar-free sprinkles before chilling.
