When I first started learning about keto, my biggest concern was ‘can I still have desserts?’ If you’re having similar thoughts – then you’re in luck. The answer is a big, fat (bomb) YES.
There is no reason for you to give up enjoying delicious desserts and sweet treats. There are a huge number of desserts that are keto-friendly. From mousses, cookies, and jellies to truffles, fudge, and cheesecakes. The choices are almost endless.
Any dessert you enjoyed before switching to a keto diet can almost certainly be made keto-friendly. And the bonus is that these are actually healthy, too!
Hot and Smokey Keto Chocolate Truffles

These truffles would make a great dessert as part of the romantic dinner. I’m going to keep this in mind for Valentine’s day!
The smoked chipotle powder adds a spicy kick and makes the chocolate flavor even richer.
This recipe uses more ingredients than most other truffle recipes, but is still quick and easy to put together.

3 Ingredient Paleo Vegan No Bake Coconut Cookies

Cookies normally require baking – but not these delicious coconut cookies from Arman at The Big Man’s World. They have a similar texture to the inside of a coconut candy bar (and I, for one, love coconut candy bars!)
When making no-bake cookies it is important to remember the texture is going to less chewy, and fudgier than a baked cookie. But still very delicious!

Keto No Bake Cookies

Our second no-bake cookie on the list is this creamy, fudgy, crunchy versionthat requires very little sweetener.
This recipe (like a couple others on this list) uses peanut butter. If you are following the keto diet very strictly, then you can replace the peanut butter with another nut butter. (Peanuts are technically legumes, which are not eaten on a strict keto diet.) The texture will be slightly different, but they will be just as tasty.

Low Carb Pina Colada Fat Bombs

Get a hint of a tropical vacation without leaving your home when you make these yummy Pina Colada fat bombs. For a change to the ever popular chocolate desserts, these pineapple flavored little jellies are a fun alternative. If you put these in airtight container they will last in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, so you can make a big batch.

No Bake Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Peanut butter cups are one of the best-selling candies in the US. But with all the sugar and processed ingredients in them, they are far from healthy.
These peanut butter chocolate bars by comparison, are a much healthier alternative. (And much tastier, too!)
These bars use just a few ingredients and are so quick to whip up. The longest part is waiting for them to set in the fridge! (In fact – it will actually taste better if you give it enough time to set properly in the fridge.)
