Stay in ketosis even while having treats. These keto desserts are yummy, delicious, and won’t ruin your low carb diet.
If you’re craving dessert and are on a ketogenic diet, you’ll know that your typical dessert can just tank your diet.
This is because many desserts contain tons of carbs. For instance, one sugar-glazed doughnut could throw you out of ketosis.
And you know how hard it can be to get into ketosis (read more on how to get into ketosis faster here). That is where having keto dessert ideas comes in handy!
Today, I’m sharing 25 keto dessert ideas. These will satisfy your sweet tooth, but not tank your diet.
I’m also including the macros, so you know how many calories, carbs, fats, and proteins you’re consuming.
1. Keto Cookie Dough Recipe

Do you remember your mom making cookies when you were a kid? The best part was licking the cookie dough, wasn’t it?
Well, gone are the days when you could eat cookie dough and get away with it. Nowadays, just looking at cookie dough packs on the pounds.
With this cookie dough recipe, you can eat your cookie dough without any guilt. This recipe has only 2 grams of net carbs, and even has some fat to boot!
To sweeten the dough, we’re using erythritol. It’s the healthiest sweetener that exists out there.
You can easily get a pack of if it here. Well worth the purchase! We’re also adding some good quality liquid stevia like this for added sweetness.
And for the creaminess, we’re using butter and heavy cream. Now, if you’re vegan or avoiding dairy, you can use coconut butter and coconut milk instead.

2. Chocolate Mousse

Do you dream of creamy, velvety mousse? Me too.
But on a keto diet, you definitely want to stay away from chocolate mousse… until now.
This chocolate mousse is not only decadent but good for you. It has only 5.1 grams of net carbs and a whopping 24 grams of fat- perfect for keeping you in ketosis.
How are we keeping the net carbs down? Well, for one, we’re using good quality dark chocolate like Lindt (85%), instead of milk chocolate.
Dark chocolate has way less sugar than milk chocolate. So, you still get the “chocolatey-ness” but not the sugar.
And as an added bonus, dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants. In fact, it has more antioxidants than blueberries and acai berries!
So, you could call this dessert, the “dessert of champions.”
Per Serving:
- Calories: 237
- Fats: 24g
- Net Carbs: 5.1g
- Protein: 3.7g

3. No-Bake Paleo Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

What’s better than a home-baked cookie? Cookies that taste like Ferrero Rocher chocolate!
Now, I’m a big fan of Ferrero Rocher chocolate, but it has tons of carbs. And as yummy, as they are, they’re not worth ruining your diet.
That’s where having a recipe like this helps. One cookie contains only 1.8 grams of net carbs and has a pretty decent amount of fat.
One of the keys to making this cookie low carb is that we’re using homemade “Nutella”. To make it, simply blend together some roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder, and some good quality monk fruit sweetener like this.
Once you’re done making the “Nutella”, all you need to do is combine your ingredients together, form them into cookies, and place them in your fridge until they’re firm. And there you have it, easy no-bake chocolate hazelnut cookies.
Per Serving:
- Calories: 103
- Fats: 7.5g
- Net Carbs: 1.8g
- Protein: 4.5g
4. Healthy Peanut Butter Balls

What’s better than chocolate? Chocolate and peanut butter!
We’re talking yummy peanut butter balls dipped in rich melted chocolate. And it’s super easy to make and you’ll need only 4 ingredients.
All you have to do is mix together some salted peanuts, unsweetened peanut butter, and powdered sweetener such as powdered Erythritol, and roll your mixture into balls. Then dip them in some melted sugar-free chocolate chips, and place them in your fridge until the chocolate sets.
If you’re looking for unsweetened chocolate chips, these are good to use. Make sure the peanut butter you use is unsweetened like this brand here.
And the best thing about these yummy treats is that you can freeze them for later- if they don’t all get gobbled up!
If you like this recipe, you’ll probably enjoy these sweet keto fat bomb ideas too.

5. Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Credit: mouthwateringmotivation.com
There’s something about chewy chocolate chip cookies. They’re powerful reminders of childhood.
On a ketogenic diet though, they’re a big no-no. Just one chocolate chip cookie could easily cost you 27 grams of net carbs!
However, these chewy chocolate chip cookies contain only 1.5 grams of net carbs per cookie. And they’re not only delicious, but they’re also soft and buttery.
To make them low carb, we’re using non-sugar sweeteners. We’re also using low carb flour such as almond flour and coconut flour like this.
I always purchase this almond flour in bulk. If you’re loving the combination of coconut and almond flour, check out my very own low carb doughnut cookies recipe.
Per Serving:
- Calories: 133
- Fats: 11g
- Net Carbs: 1.5g

6. Cookie Dough Keto Fat Bombs
Credit: hungryforinspiration.com
If you baked cookies with your mom as a kid, you know that tasting the cooking dough was the best part.
However, cookie dough has raw eggs that are bad for your tummy, and tons of carbs which are bad for your waistline.
These cookie dough keto fat bombs have neither. They’re pretty low in net carbs, with only 1 gram of net carbs per ball.
They’re also pretty high in fat, making them perfect for those days you need to up your fat intake. Plus, they’re also low in calories, making them ideal if you’re watching your calories.
And what I like best about these treats is that they’re pretty easy to make and take only 10 minutes of prep time! How about that for a quick snack?
To make these balls of yumminess, all you need to do is combine your ingredients, roll them in balls, and then eat them. No refrigeration required.
You’ll need some erythritol to add sweetness, so make sure you stock up on this erythritol. If you have a sweet tooth, you might want to get a 2.5-pound bag because you’ll save $$ in the long run.
Per Serving:
- Calories: 90
- Fats: 8g
- Net Carbs: 1g

7. Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Chocolate peanut butter pie. Just saying it makes my mouth drool.
This pie is dreamy, creamy, and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. And it’s surprisingly, fairly low in net carbs, and packed with tons of fat- making it the perfect fat bomb.
The almond flour provides the crispiness; the cream cheese, heavy cream, and peanut butter provide the creaminess, and the sweeteners the sweetness.
And let’s not forget the chocolate- what’s a chocolate peanut butter pie without chocolate? Instead of high sugar chocolate, we’re using this unsweetened cocoa powder to give that chocolatey taste.
Now, this chocolate peanut butter pie is pretty high in calories. So, if you’re watching your calories, you may want to split your piece with a friend- I’m sure they’ll thank you!
Feel free to enjoy the dessert after a filling keto lunch or dinner.

8. Low Carb Crème Brulee
Credit: wholesomeyum.com
I love crème brulee; it’s so yummy and decadent. And it’s so fancy and the perfect dessert to serve your guests at dinner parties.
Yet, your typical brulee is packed with carbs. One 500 calories serving of crème Brulee can pack a whopping 34 grams of net carbs!
That’s where having this low carb version of crème brulee can help. Not only does it contain only 4 grams of net carbs, but it also provides 51 grams of fat. Perfect for maintaining your ketosis.
Not only is this crème brulee fantastic, but it also uses only 5 ingredients; heavy cream, egg yolk, a bit of brandy, erythritol, and vanilla bean powder like this. It’s pesticide-free!
So, go ahead and make this for your next dinner party. It’s sure to be a hit!

This dish is decadent, crunchy, creamy, and chocolatey and looks as amazing as it tastes. Not only that, it is low in calories and net carbs, making it perfect for your waistline- and your sex life.

Credit: alldayidreamaboutfood.com
Are you craving cheesecake that tastes like cinnamon rolls? Then, you’ve got to try these out.
Now, I’m a BIG fan of cheesecake, but cheesecake is packed with tons of sugar. And having a whole cheesecake in front of you can be super tempting.
These cheesecakes are in miniature form, making it easier to control your portions. They’re also high in fat, but low in net carbs, making them the perfect fat bomb.
We’re using cream cheese, heavy cream, and sour cream to add creaminess, and vanilla extracts, and swerve sweetener which you can get here to sweeten things up. Plus, of course, we’re adding cinnamon- after all, what would a cinnamon roll cheesecake be without cinnamon?
The added bonus? These mini cinnamon roll cheesecakes freeze very well, so you can freeze some for the next time you need your “sugar” fix!
This is truly a perfect keto comfort food recipe!

As much as I like eating cookies, I hate baking them. Not only are these no-bake cookies, but they’re also healthier for you.
One cookie contains only 4 grams of net carbs. They’re also super tasty and creamy.
Best of all, they contain only 5 ingredients and are super simple to make. To make them, you’ll need peanut butter, vanilla extract, melted butter, cocoa powder, and unsweetened coconut flakes like these.
Simply combine all your ingredients, shape your mixture into “cookies” and place in your freezer for 30 minutes.
Then, sit back and enjoy with a nice cup of tea or better yet, bullet-proof coffee! If you’re loving coconut flakes, here are my own keto shredded coconut cookies.

13. Velvet Cupcakes

Valentine’s Day is a day for celebrating love. And feeding your loved ones is a way to show your loved ones that you care about them.
Now, your typical Valentine’s Day treats are yummy, but they also tend to be loaded with sugar.
These velvet cupcakes only have 2.2 grams of net carbs, and a whopping 23.7 grams of fat, perfect for keeping you in ketosis. They’re also as beautiful to look at, as they are to eat.
So, to give these cupcakes the color of love, we’re using high-quality red food coloring. You can get it here.
After all, your loved ones deserve the best, right? And, we’re using a beautiful home-made icing to frost the cupcakes. Check another keto cupcake here!

If you’re a fan of chocolate and peanut butter, like me, you’ll love this dessert.
It’s smooth, creamy, dreamy deliciousness that you can serve your guests. And no one will be able to tell it’s keto.
Yet, it definitely is. It’s a light dessert that contains only 2 grams of net carbs, and a whopping 16 grams of fat.
For the heavenly lightness, we’re whipping up a storm with some whipping cream. This gives it its “fluff”.
Then, to add creaminess and sweetness, we’re also whipping up some cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla, and peanut butter. Make sure you use natural peanut butter, and not the sugar-added stuff!
Finally, to crown it all, we’re topping it with Lily’s stevia-sweetened chocolate chips.

15. Keto Krispy Kreme

Yummy, crispy, sugary rings of goodness. You guessed it… Krispy Kreme donuts!
Yet, one of them could easily net you 34 grams of net carbs. Now, if that isn’t enough to give you a heart attack (ahem…sugar spike), I don’t know what is.
And, once you have that sugar spike, you eventually come down with a sugar crash, leaving you in an endless cycle of sugar addiction.
With this keto Krispy Kreme, you can eat your donut, and avoid the sugar addiction.
The Krispy Kreme donut has a fraction of the carbs, and a ton of fat, which will help keep you full. But, best of all, they’re delicious and are super easy to make.
We’re using coconut flour and almond flour to give the donuts a nice, yeasty interior. Get good quality unrefined coconut flour here. For almond flour, I’d always stock up on Nature’s Eats here.
Use Lakanto monk fruit sweetener for the best results.

16. Traditional Tiramisu

Can you get any better than coffee-flavored cake aka tiramisu?
I had my first taste of it when I was bussing tables at a restaurant, and it was a love-at-first bite. Ever since then, I’ve been a fan of tiramisu.
But, your traditional tiramisu could easily net you upwards of 35 grams of net carbs because of the ladyfingers and sugar.
This version contains only 5 grams of net carbs and is light, spongy, and delicious- all the things you expect of a tiramisu.
To make this low carb, we’re replacing the traditional ladyfingers with a low carb sponge cake. We’re using almond flour like this to make our cake since it is naturally low in carbs.
And in place of sugar, we’re using powdered erythritol and stevia extract powder as our sweetener. Check more almond flour recipes here.
