Add cacao butter, ghee, sunflower butter, vanilla bean and stevia to a small saucepan. Melt ingredients on low heat.
Meanwhile, add Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides or Collagen Protein Beef Gelatin to a small dish. Scoop about 3 tablespoons of the hot oils into the bowl with gelatin and stir to combine, until smooth. Drop mixture into saucepan. Remove from heat and whisk until combined.
Pour completed mixture into square silicon molds. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 1-2 hours. Keep them stored in an airtight container until ready to use (up to 2 months)
When ready to enjoy, drop the block into a mug, cover with freshly brewed coffee or tea and use a milk frother (this IKEA one is the best, and so inexpensive!) to blend the ingredients.
Makes 4 blocks for 4 coffees.
Notes
Travel: if you’re planning on traveling with these keto blocks for days on end, your best bet is to replace the ghee with more cacao butter. It’s the most solid of all options. Another option is to add the keto blocks to individual small mason jars and traveling with these.
Ghee: it's not dairy-free, entirely. If you're straight-up allergic to dairy, you may want to avoid this and use coconut oil or cacao butter in its place. The casein and whey are removed, but some people still react to it.
Cacao butter: is the caffeine-free fat from chocolate. It is very solid at room temperature, making it fabulous for this keto recipe.
MCT oil: doesn’t solidify making it horrible for this keto recipe.
Peptides vs. Gelatin: you can use either product for this recipe. I find a lot of people have the protein (gelatin) at home and; aside from jello jigglers, aren’t sure what to do with it. So, this is a good recipe for it!
