There aren't too many foods in my book that rank above a good ol' chocolate dessert. There’s just something so comforting about sinking my teeth into a decadent, sweet and chocolatey dessert. Chocolate is one of those classic flavors I crave often, and for good reason, it’s freaking delicious! However, when you start following a keto diet, you may quickly learn that many chocolate desserts are off-limits. That is because most of the chocolate chips and chocolate bars that you buy in the grocery store and then use to cook are loaded with sugar. Not good for the keto diet! What is a chocolate lover to do?!

Luckily, there are many low carb and tasty chocolate treats out there, so that means you never have to feel deprived of a chocolate fix regardless if you are on a low-carb diet. In fact, there are many different ways to get that chocolate that you are craving while sticking to the keto lifestyle. Unsweetened cocoa powder is one ingredient that you will often find in keto recipes. It is completely free of added sugars and still has that super-rich chocolate taste. Cocoa powder in this form is also actually nutritious and full of antioxidants that your body needs. That means you can even feel good about eating foods made with unsweetened cocoa powder- they are nutritionally beneficial!

Another chocolate ingredient that you will find in a lot of these recipes is unsweetened dark chocolate chips or low carb, keto chocolate chips. Dark chocolate chips are usually either very minimally sweetened or not sweetened at all, making them a great low carb choice. Other chocolate companies, like Lily's, make chocolate chips and chocolate bars using zero-carb sweeteners. These chocolates will still be sweet but, since they are made using erythritol or stevia, they are perfect for keto eaters. So, if you plan on doing a lot of chocolate baking, grab some unsweetened cocoa powder and also some keto-friendly chocolate chips next time you are at the grocery store. You will then be very prepared to make your keto chocolate treats!

It’s hard to believe that the baked goods on this list of 25 delicious low carb chocolate desserts aren't full of carbs because they’re just that good! I've rounded up 25 of my favorite, most amazing recipe options from brownies and cookies to fudge and cakes that can take care of any chocolate desires you may have. With such a range of choices, you are sure to find a recipe that you totally love. If you are not an avid baker, some of these recipes don't even require any baking at all! There really is something for everyone.

So, go ahead and treat yourself, chocolate lovers! Don't think that eating keto means that you can't have that wonderful, amazing, decadent chocolate that you love so much. You have plenty of chocolate filled options to make your sweet tooth happy. Don't forget to tell us your favorite recipes in the comments below! Enjoy!
