One of the top things that a lot of people love about the ketogenic diet is that, unlike many other eating plans, keto desserts aren’t off limits!
When you’re cutting down on carbs and saying “so long” to sugar, you might be wondering how dessert—which, after all, involves sweets by definition—is supposed to fit in.
Thankfully, it’s not as much of a head-scratcher as you might think. Thanks to a ton of keto-friendly ingredients on the market these days, you can enjoy a piece of cake or a fudgy brownie just as easily as any other sweet fiend out there—you’ve just got to make it yourself!
So grab your keto-friendly dark chocolate, your favorite alternative sweeteners, your nut flours, and of course, your butter. It’s time to master keto desserts.
