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 dark chocolate, your favorite alternative sweeteners, your nut flours, and of course, your butter. It’s time to master keto desserts. Share on Pinterest Veggie-based keto desserts 6. Keto carrot cake with cream cheese frosting Share on Pinterest Photo: Broke Foodies Aside from the almond flour base, not a whole lot about this recipe is that different from a regular carrot cake. You’ve got your carrots (duh), your spices, and of course, that non-negotiable cream cheese frosting, all of which make for a delectable — and not overly sweet — end result. 7.

If you can’t get your hands on erythritol as a sweetener, swap in monk fruit or stevia leaf extract. 8.

By stirring some real purée into a whipped cheesecake recipe, you’ll give the dessert more depth of flavor, not to mention a tasty source of fiber. Since the mousse takes only 15 minutes to whip up, you’ll be making it often, regardless of the season.
