15 Low-Carb, Keto-Friendly Desserts

A special thanks to Courtney Hamilton at Paleohacks.com for today’s keto recipe roundup.

Yes, you can have desserts while on keto! These totally sugar-free and low-carb recipes prove that it’s not only possible, but also deliciously satisfying.

The trick to keto desserts is relying on healthy fats to provide richness while using low-carb sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia.

On this list, you’ll find a bevy of keto-approved dessert options, from fudgy brownies to dairy-free cheesecakes. Need a birthday cake recipe? We’ve got that covered. Craving candy? Try a keto and Paleo “PB&J” cup, no peanut butter necessary.

When a sweet craving strikes, these keto-friendly desserts are here to keep you on track.
