  • Sweet keto fat bombs
  • Desserts to make when you’re short on time
  • Decadent desserts that only taste like cheating
  • Keto-friendly cookies
  • Homemade low-carb ice cream (including no-churn recipes!)
  • Bonus: Keto dessert toppings

Before you drool all over these delish recipes, you have to know what you’re doing when it comes to low carb desserts or you run the risk of sabotaging all of your hard work.

Ground Rules for Enjoying Keto Desserts

Thankfully, you can have your cake and eat it too when following a keto diet.

And that goes for all types of desserts; from carrot cake to no-bake cookies and even keto cookie dough recipes.

Keto desserts can be totally original creations, like fat bombs, or they can be made by substituting traditional, high-carb baking staples for low carb ingredients.

When preparing keto desserts it’s important to be aware if the following guidelines:

#1: Learn The Basics Of Ingredient Hacking

Keto Flour Substitutions

On a keto diet, all-purpose flour can be swapped for the following alternatives:

  • Almond flour – this is one of the best keto alternatives, as it’s low-carb, high in fat, moderate in protein, and has great flavor and texture. Furthermore, almond flour is widely available.
  • Coconut flour –  The mild coconut flavor works well in most desserts. Just remember that a little goes a long way. Coconut flour absorbs liquid easily so you’ll need less than what you would normally use as a flour.

Keto Friendly Sweeteners

On a keto diet, sugar can be swapped for the following alternatives:

  • Stevia – Stevia is a natural sweetener that is available in both liquid and powdered form. Keep in mind that stevia is much sweeter than regular sugar, therefore recipes require less of it to achieve the same flavor. Stevia-sweetened chocolate chips can be used in place of those made with real sugar, for example, to lower net carbs in your favorite dessert recipe.
  • Monk Fruit – this natural sweetener extracted from the monk fruit contains no calories or carbs, making it a great option for people following a keto diet.
  • Erythritol – is a type of sugar alcohol that has up to 80% of the sweetness of sugar. Erythritol typically doesn’t cause the digestive side effects associated with other types of sugar alcohols.
  • Allulose – is a type of sweetener that’s found naturally in some fruits. Instead of being digested like other sugars, allulose passes through your body which means it doesn’t increase in blood sugar or insulin levels.

Though these make slightly different versions of your favorites, it also means you don’t have to feel deprived of the sweets you loved before starting your low carb diet.

#2: Portion Control Is Everything

Just because these desserts are keto-friendly, doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all.

Eat dessert all day and night and you’ll not only see unwanted pounds creep back, but you may also tip your carb limit over the max when you double or triple your serving. And that’s a recipe for getting kicked out of ketosis.

Stick to a single-serving keto dessert if you struggle with portion control.

And if it’s just you and a significant other, you can split these recipes so you’re not as tempted to finish the whole dessert on your own.

#3: Always Choose Homemade Over Premade

With the rise of the keto diet and other low-carb eating plans like it, not-so-healthy low-carb snacks, desserts, and bars have been vying for space on grocery shelves.

But these store-bought versions are often loaded with artificial ingredients, flavors, and preservatives.

Even if you find a dessert branded “low-carb,” “keto-approved,” or “low in net carbs,” these can never be fully trusted. With added binders and strange flours, you’ll more than likely find hidden carbs or chemical sugar alternatives in the ingredients list.

By making your own, you not only control the ingredients but also the quality of those ingredients.

Now that you know how to safely indulge in these keto dessert recipes, it’s time to treat yo’ self.

Since I started off by mentioning how you can have your cake on keto, it’s only fair to begin with these recipes first.

7 Irresistible Cake Recipes

These keto cake recipes include both single-serving mug cakes and those you can make for a crowd:

#1: Single-Serve Nut Butter Cake

keto dessert recipes

When you need guilt-free cake time, this single-serving nut butter cake recipe is the one to reach for because it’s also (gasp!) good for you.

For only 4g of net carbs and 272 calories, you’ll get a healthy dose of MCTs, which turn into a bioavailable source of energy (read: fast-acting).

And that’s not the only benefit of this cake.

Thanks to the stellar ingredients inside, you may also score health benefits like improved heart, brain, and skin health.

The almond flour in the nut butter cake comes with all the health benefits of raw almonds. Research shows that almonds can enhance your heart health by decreasing LDL (bad) cholesterol and increasing HDL, or good cholesterol.

The eggs found in this recipe are packed with choline, a nutrient that has been linked with boosting your brain health including enhancing memory and mental functioning.

Eggs also contribute to skin health because they contain lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidants that can protect your skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.

The next single-serve cake recipe also packs a health boost.

#2: Keto Collagen Mug Cake

#4: Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake

keto dessert recipes
