White Chocolate Cups with Pistachio filling is pure Christmas delight that is not only lovely to look at but also easy to make and full of nutrients.
The last minute Christmas recipe and I have one more, which I am planning to post before the New Year. Unfrutenetly I don’t even have a video for these White Chocolate Cups and I am truly sorry about that, but I messed up. I was in a hurry and forgot to press record when I was pouring the chocolate in. Luckily, this recipe is pretty simple and I hope my instructions are clear enough for you to follow.
Many of you may have made peanut butter cups, which is basically same process. You can even look up some videos on YouTube if you haven’t done it before. Nevertheless, these White Chocolate Cups are delicious and also Keto friendly if you use 0 sugar sweetener, such as Swerve. You can use other kind, for example Monk Fruit if you prefer.
However, if you are not on Keto diet, Maple syrup is wonderful for the pistachio filling and I personally like it better. I made both options, because my daughter’s mother in law is on Keto diet and I made some for her. This is actually the first time I made totally Vegan Keto dessert, eventough I use Swerve many times. However, my previous desserts are usually made with other non Keto ingredients.
