I’ve already taught you to make decadent, creamy, rich, sugar-free ganache. Now, I will show you how easy it is to make Chocolate Ganache Frosting! This frosting doesn’t require tons of butter or cream cheese. Instead, it needs two simple ingredients, a spatula and an electric mixer; it is as easy as it gets.

What is whipped ganache?

Whipped ganache frosting is a luxurious and velvety concoction that combines the richness of traditional ganache with the lightness and airy texture achieved through whipping. To create this delectable frosting, high-quality chocolate is melted and blended with an equal amount of hot cream, forming a smooth and glossy ganache. After cooling, the ganache is whipped until it reaches a fluffy consistency, resulting in a decadent frosting that’s both luscious and spreadable. The finished product is a heavenly blend of the intense chocolate flavor from the ganache and the airy, mousse-like texture imparted by the whipping process, making it an exquisite topping for cakes, cupcakes, or cheesecakes.

Tips and Tricks

• Start with high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Whether you choose dark or semi-sweet chocolate, opt for a brand you love to ensure a rich and satisfying taste.
• Ensure the chocolate is finely chopped, this ensures it will melt easily and make a smooth ganache.
• Let the ganache cool to room temperature before whipping.
• Use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment for efficient and consistent whipping.
• Use the whipped ganache immediately for frosting or decoration on layer cakes or other desserts.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge, but be prepared to rewhip slightly before use to restore the desired texture.

Serve

• Frosting: You can use an offset spatula to spread the whipped ganache on cakes, cookies or cheesecakes. You can also put the frosting into a piping bag and create a beautiful design.
• Filling: this works well as a filling for pastries or baked goods.
• Dip: this works beautifully as a dip for fresh fruit or other goodies.

Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Pie

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this recipe. For the complete, printable recipe just keep scrolling. To make chocolate bars you will need:

• Almond Flour: since almond flour and coconut flour do not have the same absorbency rate I do not recommend substituting coconut flour in this recipe.
• Butter: I use salted butter for this recipe.
• Semi-Sweet Bakers Chocolate: you will find this in the baking aisle at the grocery store, this is variety is in red and black packaging.
• Egg Yolks: you will need large egg yolks for this recipe. We will be using the yolks only, you will not need egg whites at any point for this recipe.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: you cannot substitute this for something else such as half and half, only the good stuff will work for this recipe.
• Sweetener: I used granular monk fruit for this recipe. If you are not worried about carbs you can use regular granular sugar.
• Cocoa Powder, Vanilla extract, and Sea Salt: flavor makers that take the flavor from ordinary to extraordinary.

How to Make Chocolate Pie Bars

These chocolate pie bars feature a shortbread cookie crust that is baked. The filling, however, is not baked. This is a creamy custard, mousse-style filling that is made with egg yolks, chocolate, and heavy cream. Aside from the ingredients listed above you will need an 8×8 baking pan, mixing bowls and an electric mixer.

Make the Crust

The only element of this recipe that requires cooking is the crust. To make the crust combine the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and melted butter. Pre-bake the crust at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes until it has browned slightly and set. Allow the crust to cool while you make the filling

Beat the Egg Yolks

Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and add the yolks to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 1 full minute. The eggs will be slightly thick and shiny.

Add in the Sweetener

Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and slowly pour in the granular sweetener as you continue to beat the yolks. Stop the mixer and scrape down the edges, mix again on medium-high for 2 minutes. Set the bowl aside.

Heat Part of the Heavy Cream

Pour 3/4 cup of the heavy cream into a small saucepan. Heat the cream over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches 170 degrees F. This is important, by bringing the heavy cream to a temperature above 160 degrees F will destroy any bacteria in the egg yolk allowing it to be safe to consume without cooking.

Temper the Eggs

Remove the saucepan from heat and slowly pour it into the yolk mixture while running the electric mixer on low. This tempers the egg and allows it to become stable and safe to eat.

Whip the Heavy Cream

Using an electric mixer and beat the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Your heavy cream will have tripled in volume.

Chop and Melt Chocolate

Using a large sharp knife chop the chocolate bar well. Add the chopped chocolate to a microwavable safe mixing bowl. Melt the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until it is smooth.

Add the Melted Chocolate to Egg Yolks

Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, vanilla, and sea salt to the egg mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until completely smooth.

Fold in Whipped Cream

Fold in the chocolate egg mixture with the whipped cream until thoroughly combined. Spoon the filling mixture into the prepared crust and cover. Chill the bars for at least 4 hours before serving.

Serve

Place the 8×8 pan in the freezer for at least 20 minutes before slicing. To get pretty, clean slices run a very sharp knife under warm water before slicing and whip clean before slicing again. Serve the bars with whipped cream or chopped chocolate if desired.

How to Make Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Mousse requires a handful of basic ingredients, but it does require multiple steps. Below I will walk you through the entire process. It may seem slightly daunting, but it is easy than it looks. In addition to the ingredients listed above you will need several mixing bowls, an electric mixer, a saucepan, and a thermometer.

Chop the Chocolate

Using a large sharp knife chop the chocolate bar well. Add the chopped chocolate to a microwavable safe mixing bowl and set aside.

Beat the Egg Yolks

Add the egg yolks to a medium size mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 1 full minute.

Add the Melted Chocolate to Eggs

Fold in Whipped Cream

Fold in the chocolate egg mixture with the whipped cream until thoroughly combined. The result will be ultra creamy decadent chocolate mousse!

Serve

Spoon the mixture into small bowls or jars. This mousse can be eaten on its own for pure, rich chocolate flavor, or you can add additional whipped cream as I did. You can garnish this dessert with chopped chocolate, espresso powder, or cocoa powder if desired!

How many servings does this make?

This recipe makes 6 large dessert-size servings or 12 small servings. Personally, this is such a rich dessert I like dividing this recipe into 12 servings in these cute tasting cups.

No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

These No Bake Peanut Butter Bars are the best keto-friendly sweet treat! These have a classic texture–the smooth chocolate layer atop a creamy-and-crunchy peanut butter base. It’s a comforting delight, perfect for an after school snack or dessert! 

These keto bars are gluten free, grain free, sugar free, and diabetic friendly. They are great for gifting to teachers, family members, or neighbors, too. Just wrap up in some cute butcher’s paper, plastic, or gift boxes (these would be cute with a festive label, or these would fit two pretty well!) for an inexpensive, thoughtful present!

These are easy to meal prep as well. Make a batch (or several), cut into pieces, and freeze whatever you won’t eat within the next five days. These can be great for some travel as you can take them out of the freezer in the morning, toss them into a lunchbox, and they’ll be thawed and ready in a few hours! For more fun fall recipes, check out this list of 20+ Easy Fall Desserts!

Keto Peanut Butter Bar Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For specific measurements, keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card.

• Roasted peanuts – These will get ground up to a graham cracker crumb consistency
• Butter, powdered monk fruit sweetener, creamy peanut butter, coconut flour, and vanilla extract – Makes the bar SO creamy
• Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and heavy cream – This gets melted to form the delicious dark chocolate layer on top.

How to make Keto Peanut Butter Bars

This recipe has several steps, but it’s still very easy to make! This recipe is perfect for beginner cooks or a family meal prep day! The majority of the work takes place in a food processor or a very strong blender.

First, you’ll start by grinding your peanuts in a food processor until it crumbles to the consistency of graham cracker crumbs. Then you’ll incorporate your creamy ingredients (like butter, sweetener, and peanut butter), followed by coconut flour and vanilla extract. This multi-step process will require you to scrape the sides of the processor down with a spatula several times, but the stop-and-go is worth it for these delicious bars!

Finally, scrape the thick batter onto a pan (8×8 lined with parchment paper). Spread it to a nice even layer and allow it to chill for 30 minutes. While this is chilling, heat the heavy cream and add chocolate and peanut butter. Remove from heat and stir until super smooth. Pour this over the chilled peanut butter layer and chill for another hour before cutting and serving.

How to store No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

These peanut butter bars are best kept chilled in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To keep fresh for longer, freeze and eat within 3 months for the best taste and texture. These will get softer as they get closer to room temperature, so keep that in mind if serving for a party or gifting to others.

When storing these, make sure to place a layer of parchment or wax paper between the bars if storing on top of one another. This will help prevent them from sticking or getting misshapen. 

Tips for the BEST Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

• Use a high-quality food processor or blender. This mixture is very thick, and weaker appliances may not be able to handle this.
• Make sure to line the pan with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or wax paper before spreading the mixture. The peanut butter layer is quite sticky, and it would be very difficult to remove pieces if you put this directly into an unlined pan.
• Use roasted peanuts or roast raw peanuts for this. Roasted peanuts are able to achieve a creamier texture and provide a greater depth of flavor. You can use salted or unsalted (if using salted, make sure to use unsalted butter).
• Don’t skimp on the chilling time. You want the peanut butter layer to be cold and well-set so that the warm chocolate layer doesn’t melt and seep into the peanut butter layer. If you don’t allow it to chill long enough before cutting, you’ll have a gooey mess.

What to serve with No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

This is the perfect afternoon treat to power you through the rest of a long day, especially when served with a Keto Frappuccino (maybe try this Salted Caramel version, or this Mocha one?)! This Vanilla Bean Frappuccino is low carb and a great option if you don’t love coffee or if you’ve got a little one wanting some homemade Starbucks, too!

For a nighttime treat, serve these No Bake Peanut Butter Bars with a Keto Hot Cocoa with Espresso Whipped Cream!

Keto Milkshake

This Keto Milkshake is a perfectly creamy mixture of chocolate and peanut butter — Exactly what you need on a hot day or to celebrate making it through a tough week. Using a keto-friendly ice cream (my favorite brand is Rebel) makes this a super easy, quick dessert.

This recipe comes together in under 5 minutes with just 4 ingredients! You can easily customize this to make your favorite milkshake, matched perfectly for your preferences. I’ve even included 9 other combinations down below, so you’re sure to find something perfect for you!

This easy dessert is super kid-friendly and is nearly impossible to distinguish from a sugary, carb-filled shake from a restaurant! Just blend your ingredients together, pour, and serve for the ultimate movie night dessert.

Ingredients for a Keto Shake

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For specific amounts, keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card.

• Keto ice cream : I used Rebel’s Triple Chocolate Ice Cream
• Almond milk : Unsweetened
• Ice
• Peanut butter : You could use almond butter or leave it out entirely if you prefer.

Are milkshakes keto?

Usually, no. Milkshakes are made with ice cream and milk–Both of those are normally high in carbs! However, I used Rebel’s keto-friendly ice cream and almond milk for a low-carb milkshake recipe. After subtracting the fiber and sugar alcohols, this drink comes to just 4 net carbs!

If you follow a strict keto diet, Rebel ice cream likely isn’t for you. However, if you fall into the “lazy keto” or low carb camp, Rebel ice cream is an amazing treat that you can work into your daily macros!

How to make a Keto Milkshake

This is so simple! Add all of your ingredients to a blender, and give it a whirl. Once it’s smooth and well combined, pour into your glasses and serve. Top with homemade whipped cream (try this espresso whipped cream!) and sugar free chocolate syrup for a restaurant-worthy dessert.

Can I make milkshakes ahead of time?

Milkshakes have the best texture immediately after blending. If you make this ahead of time, it can melt in the fridge. If you freeze it after blending, it will get too hard and not be the super smooth drink you want. I wouldn’t recommend making this ahead of time.

Keto Milkshake Flavors to Try

Rebel has many different ice cream flavors that you can try! They range from 4-8 net carbs per pint, so different flavors and ingredient additions/subtractions will change the nutritional values. Here are some flavor combinations I want to try next!

• Salted Caramel – Use the Salted Caramel Rebel ice cream, skip the peanut butter, and top with this Keto Caramel Sauce.
• Orange Creamsicle – Use the Orange Cream ice cream, skip the peanut butter, and crumble one of these Orange Creamsicle Keto Cookies on top.
• Keto Reese’s – Use the Chocolate or Vanilla ice cream and mix in crumbled 3-Ingredient Almond Butter Cups.
• Coconut Mocha – Use the Coconut Almond Swirl ice cream, skip the peanut butter, and top with Coconut Mocha Bark. 
• Mocha Chip – Use the Coffee Chip ice cream, skip the peanut butter, and top with Espresso Whipped Cream. For an even stronger coffee buzz, freeze coffee into ice cubes and use those!
• Strawberry Cheesecake – Use the Strawberry ice cream, skip the peanut butter, mix in Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce, and top with a Cheesecake Strawberry.
• Snickerdoodle – Use the Snickerdoodle ice cream, skip the peanut butter, crumble a Keto Snickerdoodle and drizzle with Keto Caramel Sauce.
• Chocolate Turtle – Use the Butter Pecan ice cream, skip the peanut butter, and mix in Keto Ganache and Keto Caramel Sauce.
• Coconut – Use the Vanilla ice cream, skip the peanut butter, add toasted coconut and vanilla, and top with Keto Caramel Sauce.

What to serve with a Keto Milkshake

I love the combination of a salty snack with a sweet milkshake! Try Keto Pretzel Bites with Cheese Sauce or Keto Mozzarella Sticks for a good appetizer or movie snack with your milkshakes. Get that classic diner feel by serving a Keto Bacon Cheeseburger and some Keto Fries (or these Crispy Green Bean Fries would be delicious, too)!

Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts

Nuts are such a great choice for a healthy diet. They are packed with protein and healthy fats. But who doesn’t also want a little sweetness with their snack? That’s why I love these Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts! Sugar free chocolate chips are melted with coconut oil and poured over nutritious macadamia nuts and are topped off with sea salt.

This healthy keto sweet is low carb, gluten free and will help to keep you going throughout your day! On a keto diet, it is recommended to stay under 50 grams of carbs per day. These Chocolate Macadamia Nuts come in at only 2 net carbs per serving! For more fun fall recipes, check out this list of 20+ Easy Fall Desserts!

Are Macadamia Nuts Healthy?

Absolutely! Macadamia nuts are an excellent choice for any healthy eater, but they are especially beneficial on a keto diet. These nuts are naturally very low in sugar and carbs. They are also high in healthy fat, which can help to lower your risk of heart disease as well as lower your cholesterol. Macadamia nuts are also high in vitamins and nutrients, as well as fiber. These nuts have a buttery, creamy flavor, and are the perfect healthy keto snack!

Best Nuts for Keto

Besides macadamia nuts, there are several varieties of nuts you can enjoy while staying keto. Peanuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds and brazil nuts are all excellent low carb nut options.

Keto Chocolate

Chocolate is not off limits on a keto diet! Choosing a sugar free chocolate is what you’ll need for a low carb chocolate option. If you aren’t familiar with sugar free chocolate, it is sweetened with usually Stevia or monkfruit, which are natural sweeteners, or also sugar alcohol. Sugar free chocolate does not have a strange taste, but tastes very similar to a more traditional chocolate.

Sugar free chocolate melts the same as traditional chocolate, so you can use it in your favorite recipes! You can buy keto chocolate online- I have used Lily’s brand in this recipe, or on Amazon. You can also find low carb chocolate in grocery stores, usually either by the regular chocolate or in the pharmacy area of the store. I used low carb chocolate in these Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies, Air Fryer Brownie and this Keto Crockpot Candy and I have always had wonderful results!

How to Make Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts

First, melt the coconut oil over low heat in a double boiler. If you do not have a double boiler, use a microwave safe bowl and melt your oil in the microwave, or use a small saucepan and melt over the stove top. When your oil has fully melted, add the chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Fold the macadamia nuts into the chocolate mixture. Scoop the mix onto wax paper in tablespoon sized mounds. If desired, sprinkle with sea salt and allow to chill until fully set.

Tips for Melting Chocolate

To melt chocolate, you will need to heat your chocolate over a low heat slowly and stir continuously. Coconut oil helps to loosen the chocolate so that you get a smooth melt. If you have melted your chocolate too fast, it can become gritty. If that is the case, you can add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil at a time and stir until your chocolate is smooth again.

Keto Snacks

Who doesn’t love snacks? They are necessary in our house! Roasted Pumpkin Seeds are a super simple low carb snack. I also really enjoy these Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots or Marinated Mozzarella Balls for when I need a snack.

What is Chocolate Ganache?

Chocolate ganache is a wonderful combination of only two ingredients- yep, just two! All you’ll need for this recipe is sugar free chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Keto ganache is a blend of finely chopped chocolate and warm cream, which is mixed until it is very smooth. Learn how to make chocolate ganache in this simple tutorial!

Ingredients for Keto Ganache

Ganache only needs two simple ingredients. You might be tempted to add something else like vanilla extract or another add in, but don’t! Perfect, smooth ganache is made with these basic ingredients:

• Chocolate: Sugar free Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips- I used Lily’s brand. You can also use white chocolate chips for a white chocolate ganache
• Cream: Heavy whipping cream that has been heated until it is piping hot! 

How do you make Keto Chocolate Ganache?

For this keto-friendly chocolate ganache, I used equal parts hot heavy whipping cream and sugar-free dark chocolate. This allows the chocolate to gently melt and combine with the cream for a creamy, smooth ganache worthy of any dessert. To make this decadent chocolate sauce you will need to follow these simple steps:

• Chop Semi Sweet Lily’s Sugar Free Chocolate Chips as finely as you can. Pour them into a heatproof bowl and set aside. 
• In a sauce pan (not the microwave) slowly heat heavy whipping cream to a simmer. When the cream is piping hot pour it over the chopped chocolate and place a lid on top of the bowl. Allow the chocolate to sit two minutes, then remove the lid and stir until a thick, creamy chocolate sauce has formed.                         

Tips for the Best Chocolate Ganache

• Make sure that no water comes into contact with this mixture while you’re mixing–It’ll cause the chocolate to seize up and separate into a grainy, gloopy mess.
• Chop your chocolate very finely
• The heavy cream should be VERY hot! As soon as it has begun to boil remove it from the heat and carefully pour it over the chocolate. 
• Do not let the mixture sit too long before you stir it- two minutes is my recommended time.

What can I do with Chocolate Ganache?

The possibilities are endless! You can also this keto ganache for brownies, truffles, toppings to cakes or cupcakes, or even a decadent fruit dip! There are truly no limits to the ways this delicious ganache can be used. You can also use a different type of sugar free chocolate chip to make your preferred type of ganache. Some great ways to use ganache are:

• I used this ganache for these Chocolate Cheesecake Bars and they were divine!
• Brownies: smother your favorite brownies in ganache for a rich treat. 
• Fruit Pizza: drizzle over this fruit pizza for a decadent dessert. 

What do I do with Chocolate Ganache after it cools?

If you stir your ganache until smooth and allow it to cool completely, the ganache can be scooped with a spoon. It will be a thick, smooth chocolate that will be thicker than frosting, but a similar texture. You can use this as a dip for fruits or spread over baked goods. You can even add this to a piping bag with a wide tip and pipe it on like frosting. 

Can I make frosting with Ganache?

Should you want to make a sugar free frosting with this ganache you will need to do one extra thing! Place the completely cooled ganache in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it is light and  fluffy. The volume will almost double and it will make a great sugar free frosting!

The Perfect Keto Cookies

I’ve definitely mastered the perfect keto chocolate cookies! These cookies are soft and a little bit chewy. The best part about them is that they are made with basic keto pantry staples that you probably already have on hand. So when your sweet tooth starts calling, you can satisfy it without running to the grocery or blowing your keto diet.

As written, the cookies are just 1.4 net carbs each! If you are looking for other keto treats, you can try my favorite Keto Cheesecake Brownies or these delicious Keto Lemon Bars, just 2.4 net carbs each! Check out this list for 40+ more keto desserts for more sweet ideas, too.

Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Cookies 

For this keto chocolate cookies recipe, you’ll need the following basic ingredients: 

• Butter: prefer salted butter for this recipe.
• Coconut flour: almond flour is not a good substitute here. 
• Keto Sweetener: Swerve or monkfruit sweetener 
• Eggs: size large eggs
• Cocoa powder, Baking powder, and Salt
• Vanilla extract
• Sugar-free chocolate chips 

What Are the Best Keto-Friendly Chocolate Chips? 

I always use Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips in my baked goods. They don’t have a weird aftertaste and they are widely available at most grocery stores.  You can also buy them in many different flavors now so you can easily switch up the flavor of these cookies by using regular chocolate chips, peppermint, or salted caramel! 

Can the Coconut Flour Be Substituted? 

No, you need to make this recipe as keto coconut flour cookies. In my experience, almond flour or another keto flour won’t work. If you prefer an almond flour cookie recipe this is the BEST Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie! This Chocolate Sugar Cookie or these Double Chocolate Sheet Pan Cookies both use almond flour as well.

How to Make Keto Chocolate Cookies 

This is one of my go-to low-carb chocolate desserts because it’s so quick and easy to make. Here are the basic steps: 

1. Combine the melted butter, coconut flour, sweetener, eggs, baking powder, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla. 
2. Fold in the chocolate chips. Use a standard size cookie scoop and scoop the cookie dough onto a greased baking sheet.
3. Bake until done, then let cool completely before serving. 

Why do I need to let the cookies cool?

Grain free flours do not have the same qualities as wheat based flours. They do not contain gluten, which makes them more likely to crumble. A hot coconut flour or almond flour cookie will crumble. For the perfect keto cookie that stays together, allow it to cool before moving.

Tips for Perfect Keto Cookies 

• When you scoop out the cookie dough, make sure to leave room between the cookies as they tend to spread as they bake.
• Make sure to grease the cookie sheet well before adding the cookie dough. I prefer using a silicone baking sheet.  
• I added Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips. You can also add other things such as unsweetened coconut and pecans if you prefer. 

How to Store Low Carb Chocolate Cookies

Allow cookies to cool completely, then transfer to an air-tight container. If left on the counter, they’ll need to be eaten within a week for the best taste and texture. If you’d like to store them longer, they’ll stay fresh in the fridge several weeks and in the freezer up to 3 months.

You can make the cookie dough in advance and store in the fridge up to 24 hours (makes it easy to bake fresh cookies for a sleepover or party) or even frozen. It’s easiest to scoop the cookie dough into individual cookies, freeze on a baking sheet for an hour, then transfer to a freezer bag. The cookie dough should be good 3-6 months. To cook from frozen, simply add 1-3 extra minutes to the cooking time.

Is cheesecake keto?

Yes, cheesecake is a fantastic dessert for the keto lifestyle! The trick is to choosing a good keto sweetener, a delicious low-carb crust, and (for this version’s ganache) sugar-free chocolate. I like to use Confectioners Swerve or Powdered Monkfruit because they have zero calories, don’t impact our blood sugar, and make a creamy filling without major aftertaste. 

Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need to make these low carb cheesecake bars. For the complete printable recipe just keep scrolling. 

• Almond flour
• Confectioners Keto sweetener (such as Monkfruit or Swerve)
• Cocoa Powder
• Butter
• Cream Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Eggs
• Vanilla Extract

To make the low carb ganache you will also need heavy whipping cream and sugar free dark chocolate chips. 

How to make Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

This recipe features three layers: a chocolate shortbread crust, a chocolate cheesecake layer, and an ultra rich chocolate ganache topping. 

• Chocolate Crust: combine the melted butter, almond flour, sweetener and cocoa powder. Press the soft crust dough into a parchment paper lined 8×8 pan. Bake the crust for 7-8 minutes until set and allow the crust to cool completely. 
• Chocolate Cheesecake: using an electric mixer combine the cream cheese, sour cream, sweetener, cocoa powder, egg and vanilla extract. Carefully spread the filling over the cooled crust. Bake the cheesecake 25-30 minutes until it has set in the center. Cool the cheesecake completely. 
• Chocolate Ganache: Chop the dark chocolate chips finely and add to a heat proof bowl. Heat the heavy whipping cream until almost simmering. Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit at least one minute to soften. Carefully stir the chocolate mixture until completely combined. Allow the chocolate to sit a few minutes until it has thickened slightly. Pour over the cooled cheesecake. 

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Bars

While these cheesecake bars are SUPER easy, there are a few simple tips that help these come out flawlessly every time.

• Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs — This helps the cheesecake filling become extremely smooth without lumps and clumps. Everything is easier to mix as well!
• Don’t overbeat the mixture — When beating the mixture, you’re incorporating a lot of air. This is great when making scrambled eggs, but it’s not good for a cheesecake! Too much air means you’ll have cracks in your dessert. If you think you may have mixed a bit too much, leave the mixture sitting on the counter for about 15 minutes so some of the air bubbles can work their way up to the top.
• Use an 8×8 pan — This recipe was developed specifically for an 8×8-inch pan. If you use a 9×9 or other size, your cheesecake will be much thinner and overdone.

How do you make keto chocolate ganache?

For this keto chocolate ganache, I used equal parts hot heavy whipping cream and sugar-free dark chocolate. This allows the chocolate to gently melt and combine with the cream for a luscious, smooth ganache worthy of any dessert. Make sure that no water comes into contact with this mixture while you’re mixing–It’ll cause the chocolate to seize up and separate into a grainy, gloopy mess.

Other Cheesecake Flavors

While this triple chocolate cheesecake is amazing on its own, you can easily change a few things for new flavors if you’d like! If you want a mocha-flavored cheesecake, add a bit of coffee into your mixture or a packet of instant coffee into the cookie crust. You could add a layer of Keto Caramel Sauce or Sugar-Free Strawberry Sauce for an extra punch of flavor. 

You could easily top these cheesecake bars with whipped cream (sugar free), too! Use flavored whipped cream to switch it up–Peppermint for Christmas, chocolate for a quadruple chocolate cheesecake, etc. Mocha, peanut butter, or any other options could be great, too!

I LOVE cookies. Like, I am a full on cookie fanatic. Any time, anywhere, any place. Quick, portable and sweet? Hello, sign me up! 

But when I started going keto, I was worried cookies were going to be an indulgence of the past. But thankfully I learned more about the diet and different ingredients, and now I’ve acquired quite a catalog of amazing keto cookie recipes that I’m so excited to share with all of you! Below is a collection of my best keto cookies!

How to make Keto Cookies

The first step for the best low carb cookies is the flour. There is a variety of recipes in this post, but most require almond flour or coconut flour to be considered keto. The second consideration is the sweetener- monkfruit sweetener, swerve, or any other kind of keto friendly sweetener is essential. If the recipe calls for a chocolate chip, you will need to get the sugar free version of that as well.

How to make Sugar Free Cookies

Be creative! Most of these cookies call for different ingredients than you would usually have on hand, so you may have to online to find some of them. But once you’ve gotten your pantry updated, these recipes really are as simple as any other cookie recipe! You’ll love being able to stay keto while enjoying a variety of the best keto treats!
