Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Keto Chocolate Sticks! These are perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without kicking you out of ketosis.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (or butter)
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a pinch of sea salt for topping
Instructions:
- Melt the coconut oil:
- In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil (or butter) over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat.
- Mix the chocolate:
- To the melted coconut oil, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully combined and smooth.
- Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed and the sweetener is dissolved.
- Form the chocolate sticks:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use silicone molds (if you prefer).
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a silicone mold to form long, stick-like shapes, or simply spoon the chocolate mixture into thin strips on the parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a pinch of sea salt for added flavor and texture.
- Chill:
- Place the tray or mold in the refrigerator or freezer to set the chocolate. It will take about 30 minutes in the fridge or 10-15 minutes in the freezer for the chocolate to harden.
- Serve:
- Once the chocolate sticks are firm, remove them from the molds or break them into stick shapes.
- Store the chocolate sticks in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them solid.
