FAQs
Can I use regular sweetener instead of a low-carb sweetener?
Yes, but keep in mind that regular sweeteners contain sugar and will increase the carb count, which might not fit a keto diet.
What if I don’t have coconut oil?
You can substitute coconut oil with butter or other neutral oils, but coconut oil helps the chocolate harden nicely and adds a subtle flavor.

Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup low-carb sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream: Using a mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms soft peaks, which means the cream holds shape but is still smooth and light.
- Mix in sweetener and cocoa powder: Gradually add the low-carb sweetener and unsweetened cocoa powder to the whipped cream, gently folding and mixing until fully incorporated to create a fluffy, chocolatey filling.
- Freeze the filling: Press the chocolate filling mixture evenly into candy molds or a shallow dish, then place in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up before coating.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Dip frozen filling into chocolate: Remove the firm filling from the molds or cut into bars if in a dish. Dip each piece into the melted chocolate coating, ensuring it is fully covered for a smooth chocolate shell.
- Chill until set: Place the chocolate-coated bars on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes, before serving.
Notes
- Use a low-carb sweetener suitable for your taste preference such as erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia.
- Ensure the cream is whipped correctly to achieve the ideal fluffy texture for the filling.
- If not using molds, pressing the filling into a shallow dish and cutting into bars after freezing works well.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
- You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipped cream mixture for extra flavor if desired.
