5 Delicious Keto Chocolate Recipes for Christmas

Keto chocolate cheescake
We received many delicious keto recipes from our community for the holidays. All made with our keto chocolates. Because Christmas, winter, and chocolate go hand in hand.
Well, chocolate is perfect any day, any time actually… But Christmas is just the perfect time to enjoy delicious desserts and other small treats.
Some of us won’t be able to receive the whole family or friends for Christmas dinner this year, but that doesn’t mean we cannot spend this time cooking amazing recipes - and enjoying it. Hopefully, more time enjoying than prepping  Because this year was a tough one, and we deserve to treat ourselves a little. Yes or yes?
We selected a few different recipes for this article. Not just the usual Christmas treats. This way you’ll have different options to get inspired by. We have hot chocolate, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate marble cake, chocolate mousse, and chocolate profiteroles. Everything chocolate. So, chocoholics, this is for you! 

 All recipes are gluten-free, low-carb and sugar-free. As always!

 

1. Keto Hot Chocolate (vegan)

 

Keto  vegan Hot Chocolate
This first recipe is from Eli from Chocolate and Avocado. A cup of hot chocolate is good for any moment during this winter. Isn't it? By the fireplace, curled up on the couch, or even while you prep your Christmas dinner. The kids will love it too!

 

Ingredients:

Makes 2 cups
  • 25g (half bar) of Funky Fat Choc Dark (or another flavour you like)
  • 140ml thick coconut milk (> 70% coconut)
  • 3 tbsp pure cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla (vanilla bean seeds)
 Optional:
  • 1tsp of erythritol - but only if you want it to be extra sweet because the chocolate is already a little sweetened.
  • Extra coconut cream as topping: For the coconut cream, you need to put a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. So, carefully open the can and remove the water. With a spoon remove the fattiest part of the coconut milk, which will be the cream. Beat it if you want to add it to your chocolate. 

Instructions:

  1.  In a saucepan, melt the chocolate over low heat.
  2. Raise the temperature to medium heat and add the coconut milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla and erythritol. Stir constantly for 10 minutes.
  3. The chocolate will thicken as you stir, although it may seem very liquid at first. Lower the heat and continue stirring for 5 more minutes.
  4. Serve the hot chocolate in 2 mugs, then add the cold coconut cream on top (if you want) and sprinkle it with extra cocoa powder or cinnamon.

3. Keto Chocolate Mousse (vegan) 

This vegan keto chocolate mousse with avocado is to die for. It's one of our favourite keto desserts. Not just because it's delicious (and creamy), but because it's super easy to prep. If you're not a good baker, a mousse is always a good option to go for.
For this recipe, you'll need avocado, unsweetened coconut milk (chilled in the fridge overnight), unsweetened cacao powder, erythritol, a pinch of salt and our Dark Keto Chocolate bar.

4 servings
  • 180 grams of ripe avocado

  • 25 grams of cacao powder
  • 1 bar Funky Fat Foods Dark Chocolate, melted
  • 1 pinch salt

  2. Divide the mixture among 4 glasses and chill for a minimum of 1-2 hours.

  3. Serve with coconut whipped cream, raspberries or topping of choice! 

4. Keto Chocolate Marble Banana Cake 

Keto Chocolate Marble Banana Cake

 

This cake... is just. We don't have words. When the girls from Yummy Ceto sent it to us we could not do anything else but drool. Still happens. Imagine some extra chocolate melted on top?! Oh my. 

If you're already asking yourself how bananas can be keto... Well, the size of the banana you use will make a difference when it comes to the total net carb in this recipe. They used a tiny banana for a full cake.

If you're doing a carb-up this Christmas, or if still fits on your daily macros, go for the banana. But you can also swap the banana for an avocado. The taste will be different but still amazing! Avocado goes well with anything, it's almost like cauliflower nowadays 

But if you do so, we think you might need to add a bit of you favorite sweetener to this cake. Try the batter and see before putting in the oven.

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 150 g Almond flour
  • 14g yeast⁠ 
  • 2 bars of Funky Fat Choc Dark or Hazelnut (100g)
  • 40 ⁠g chicory syrup
  • 1 small banana
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • Zest of 3 lemons

Instructions:

Keto Chocolate Marble Banana Cake
  1.  Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. 
  2. Beat the 4 eggs and add chicory syrup, lime and lemon zest, mashed banana and vanilla. 
  3. In another bowl, mix the dry products. Almond flour, cinnamon and yeast. 
  4. Mix the dry ones with the wet ones and separate a part in another bowl to mix it with the chocolate
  5. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate bars in the microwave or au bain marie with a teaspoon of coconut oil.
  6. Grease the mold with butter or ghee.
