16 Keto Low-Carb Dessert Recipes & Sweet Treats

Looking for simple desserts and sweet treats that have less than 10-20 grams of carbs per serving? I have made a few recipes over the years that I love to make every time I want something guilt-free yet satisfyingly sweet.

Many of these recipes are great year-round, for family weekends and holiday gifts, but absolutely all are beginner-friendly and affordable to make.

You’ll find fudge, cookies, and even simple cakes that are low in carbs yet loaded with flavors!

First – I want to highly recommend that you use your own nutrition calculator. While most of these recipes have been run through the calculator included with the recipe card, I will say – the numbers are slightly different than what I get when I calculate with my app (Carb Manager). If you are watching your macros closely, you’ll want to use whatever trusted app you have for the best results.

Keto Sugar Cookies
