Keto Chocolate
Description
This recipe carefully melts cacao butter over low heat to preserve its delicate texture, then combines it with finely blended unsweetened cocoa powder and a powdered low-carb sweetener such as erythritol or allulose. The sweetener can be powdered beforehand to reduce graininess. The mixture can be flavored additionally with optional ingredients like orange zest, cinnamon, sea salt, or chili for varied taste experiences, or mixed with low-carb granola or nuts for texture.
The chocolate is then poured into silicone molds or spread onto parchment paper to form bark or clusters and frozen briefly to set. The result is smooth, firm keto-friendly chocolate with about 6 grams net carbs per serving when divided into twelve portions. Using allulose yields an especially smooth chocolate as it resists recrystallization compared to erythritol.
This recipe makes two bars with 24 squares each, offering controlled portion sizes ideal for low-carb eating. Adding crunchy elements increases calories and carbs slightly but also adds texture and variety.
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz / 100g cacao butter
- 6 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened (48g)
- 4 tablespoon erythritol 32g), or allulose (**see notes, powdered

Notes
- Using powdered erythritol or allulose helps produce a smoother chocolate texture; allulose tends to prevent recrystallization better.
- For less grainy chocolate, blend cocoa powder and sweetener in a high-speed blender before combining with melted cacao butter.
- Yield is approximately 12 servings, each with 6g net carbs; chocolate can be portioned into bars or bark.
- Optional mix-ins like low-carb granola or nuts add texture and slightly increase calories and carbohydrates.
