Keto Chocolate Dessert

With a name like “Keto Chocolate Heaven,” you probably have an idea of how this dessert is going to taste. Absolutely amazing, of course. When you’re struck by a serious chocolate craving, a single piece of Keto Chocolate Heaven will crush your craving in two seconds flat (or maybe two minutes, depending on how quickly you devour it!).

I’ll let you in on a little secret, too. You can store Keto Chocolate Heaven in the fridge or the freezer once it’s set… and here’s the secret: when you store it in the freezer and you let your piece thaw for a few minutes before eating, I swear it tastes like a Double Chocolate Klondike Bar. No offense to the original Klondike Bar, but I was ALL about the double chocolate flavor growing up, so this stuff brings back all the sugary childhood happiness without the sugaror the carbs.

You’ll also be happy to know that each piece contains only 1g net carbs, which means you can happily satisfy your chocolate cravings without blowing your daily macros.

As far as keto desserts go, this qualifies as an easy keto dessert because of how simple it is to make, especially if you like keto cheesecake. We also have a keto peanut butter dessert that is the peanut butter equivalent. Yes, the peanut butter version is amazing too!

I won’t waste any more time blabbing… let me show you how to make this amazing keto dessert!

Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Desserts: aka Chocolate Heaven

This recipe uses basic keto staples that you most likely already have on hand. Two that are worth pointing out because they are a steal on Amazon:

Swerve Confectioners:If you’re looking for a sugar substitute, you’ll love Swerve Confectioners! It uses (natural) sugar alcohols which have zero effect on blood sugar, meaning you can subtract them from the net carb count. (That gives Swerve zero net carbs.) It also measures just like sugar, so there isn’t any guessing about how much to use. I purchase the 48 oz. bags because they are convenient and a much better price per ounce than the 12 oz. bags.

Nutiva Coconut Oil: While my favorite coconut oil is Dr. Bronner’s, Nutiva is a great brand that provides affordable, high-quality bulk options. I often buy the 54 oz. containers!

Dutch Process Cocoa Powder: You can use regular cocoa powder, but I highly recommend Dutch process cocoa powder because it has a more intense chocolate flavor (yum!) and is less bitter than traditional cocoa powder.

Other ingredients:

• Butter
• Cream cheese
• Vanilla extract
• Salt
• Peppermint extract (optional, if making peppermint version)

How to Make this Low Carb Chocolate Dessert

There are three phases to this Chocolate Heaven recipe, but they are all EASY. In phase one, you will make the chocolate base. In phase two, you will make the chocolate topping. In phase three, you will marry the base and topping, and they will live happily ever after. 😉

Phase 1: Make the Chocolate Base

Melt the butter, then add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract. (Optionally add peppermint extract at this step for a peppermint version.) Mash with a fork until combined like this:

Combine cocoa powder and Swerve Confectioners, then add your cream cheese/butter mixture.

TIP: Traditional cocoa powder can taste a bit bitter to some people; for a smoother, less bitter flavor, use Dutch Process Cocoa Powder.

Mix on low with a hand mixer until well-combined and fluffy. Resist the urge to eat it all now.Note: The mixture will be very thick.

Spread evenly in a pan (I used an 8x6x2 glass pan), then place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

TIP: For easier removal, you can: 1) lightly grease the pan with refined (flavorless) coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray; 2) use wax or parchment paper at the bottom of the pan, or 3) use a silicone pan.

Phase 2: Make the Chocolate Topping

A few minutes before you take the base out of the freezer, combine all the topping ingredients and mix well to create a liquid topping. (The photo above is unmixed; I forgot to take a mixed photo. Oops!)

Phase 3: Create the Final Dessert

Remove chocolate base from freezer. If there are any ridges on the top, smooth them a bit with the back of a spoon.

Then, pour chocolate topping on top, as evenly as possible, tilting the pan if necessary. Some of the base may melt slightly and give the top a fun chocolate swirl.

Cut into 30 pieces and enjoy!! This dessert is SO good.

Store: Covered in the fridge or freezer.

Can I Eat Cocoa Powder on the Keto Diet?

You can eat cocoa powder on the keto diet because it is low in net carbs. Most unsweetened cocoa powders have one net carb per tablespoon. Most low carb and keto recipes call for between one tablespoon and 1 cup of cocoa powder for an entire recipe, keeping the net carb amounts low.
