Method

 

Directions

1. Prepare the Crust

1. In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, melted butter, and granular sweetener. Mix until crumbly and combined.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a wide-mouth glass jar (8–10 oz size is ideal) or a small dessert glass. Place the jar in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Peppermint Mocha Filling

1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the 2 Tbsp heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Divide the filling in half into two separate bowls.
4. Make the Mocha Layer: To the first bowl, add the dissolved espresso powder and 1/2 tsp cocoa powder. Mix until fully combined and streak-free.
5. Make the Peppermint Layer: Leave the second bowl as is (the bright white peppermint layer).

3. Layer and Chill

1. Remove the jar from the freezer. Layer the filling components:
2. Layer 1: Gently spoon the Mocha Filling over the crust and smooth the top.
3. Layer 2: Carefully spoon the white Peppermint Filling over the mocha layer.
4. Cover the jar and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or until the filling is firm enough to hold its shape. (Perfect for overnight prep!)

4. Finish and Serve

1. When ready to serve your OMAD, make the whipped topping: Beat the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2. Top the jar with the fresh whipped cream.
3. Garnish with sugar-free chocolate shavings and a small sprinkle of crushed keto peppermint candy (check labels for sugar-free options!).

Notes

❄️ Marco’s Tips for Decadent Dessert OMAD

Go Wide: Use a wide-mouth jar! It makes it much easier to layer the filling and eat without digging your spoon into a narrow space.

The Powdered Secret: Always use powdered sweetener, not granular, when making a no-bake filling. Granular sweetener will leave a gritty texture, even after chilling.

Flavor Intensity: If you want a bolder mocha flavor, use a stronger, high-quality espresso powder. Since this is an OMAD meal, you want that rich, concentrated taste to shine.
