Strawberries and Chocolate Swirl Keto Recipe
This delicious strawberries and chocolate swirl treat is a perfect low-carb, keto-friendly dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with a rich, creamy chocolate swirl. It’s easy to make and satisfies your sweet tooth while staying within your keto goals!
Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tbsp erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Strawberry Layer:
- In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and 2 tbsp of sweetener (erythritol or your choice). Stir well and set aside to macerate for about 10–15 minutes, letting the strawberries release their juices.
-
Make the Chocolate Swirl:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, almond milk, melted butter, and 1 tbsp of sweetener (optional). Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Assemble the Dessert:
- Divide the macerated strawberries evenly among 4 small glasses or bowls.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the strawberries, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Place the dessert in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chocolate to set slightly.
- Optionally, top with whipped cream or a few fresh mint leaves for extra garnish before serving.
Tips and Variations:
- Frozen Option: For a frozen treat, you can freeze the assembled dessert in ice cream molds or a shallow dish and enjoy it as a frozen strawberry-chocolate swirl popsicle.
- Sweetener Variations: Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste, as some keto sweeteners are sweeter than others.
- Additional Toppings: Sprinkle some chopped nuts (like almonds or hazelnuts) on top for extra crunch.
- Vegan Option: Use coconut cream in place of heavy cream and coconut milk instead of almond milk.
