Someone’s Experience with Keto Desserts

I have a couple of them that are all time favorite, with keto cheesecake bites really helpful when I wanted something creamy.

Understanding the Keto Diet

Before we get into recipes, there are some essentials of the keto diet that you should known. It is professionally besy on cutting carbohydrates to extreme levels and substituting these carbs with the fats. This shift results in the metabolic change that places the body into the process, called ketosis, where the body uses fat for energy and not carbohydrates. This does not only contribute to weight loss but can as well benefit in enhancing brain functions as well as balancing on this energy levels.

Base Ingredients in Ketogenic Diet

Forming a dessert mostly demands considering the ingredients used and ensuring it has less carb and more fat. Here are some essentials:

Almond Flour and Coconut Flour: They are both very low carbohydrate and make for the best vessel in which to serve almost any keto dessert one desires.

Sugar Substitutes: Sweeteners that are erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit provide the sugar’s sweetness without carbs.

Coconut Oil and Butter: These fats are great to add extra content to keto sweets and also to help you meet your macros.

Cocoa Powder: Another food product that can be identified as healthy is unsweetened cocoa because it has no added sugar for the chocoholics.

Nut Butters: Some of the nut butters like almond, peanut or any other kind of butter adds creamy texture and healthy fats to the keto desserts.
