Who doesn’t love a good dessert after dinner or as a special treat after a long, hard day’s work? If you are trying to stay healthy, or just trying to lose weight, dessert is often off the menu, but what if it didn’t have to be?
We work hard to stay healthy by eating the right foods and maintaining a healthy weight. Too often, dessert just doesn’t fit into our menu, and when we do allow it, we feel guilty. Most desserts are filled with sugar and are high in calories.
Now, let’s talk about Keto desserts…
The Keto Diet is one of the popular diets right now, and that is because of the long-term weight loss success and health benefits many people see. One of the best things that have come out of this diet is the ability to have your cake and eat it too.
If you are following a Keto diet or are just looking for some healthy dessert alternatives, there are tons of delicious options to satisfy any sweet tooth. From cakes to brownies and donuts, there is a dessert out there for anyone.
Here are 10 Keto desserts that you are sure to love.
And our favorite part? They are all under 250 calories!! This means you can enjoy a guilt-free dessert.
RASPBERRY VANILLA PROTEIN CAKES
This is one of our favorite recipes because you can eat it as a dessert OR have it for breakfast. These little pancakes are sweet and savory, plus they are packed with protein so you won’t be hungry until lunchtime rolls around.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 scoop Detox Organics Daily Protein
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup frozen raspberries
- 3 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
- Coconut flakes, for topping
- Cinnamon, for topping
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Add the almond flour, Daily Protein, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until thoroughly combined. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes so the flour can absorb the liquid. Stir in your raspberries.
Warm your oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and simmering, scoop 2 tbsp worth of pancake mix into the skillet. Let cook for 3-4 minutes (flipping halfway through) or until golden brown on both sides.
Serve topped with coconut flakes, raspberries, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Store your leftovers in the fridge or freezer for later. Simply pop them in the toaster for a quick, protein-packed snack!

A good dessert is one that is chocolate and takes almost no time to prep or make. This simple brown is great because you can make it in just a few minutes; it is only one serving AND only has about 200 calories.

Microwave your mixture for 30 seconds at a time until your brownie has reached your desired texture. We love a nice gooey brownie!
Once done, be careful! Your brownie will be hot!! Remove from the microwave and let cool before eating.

Place your dish in the fridge for at least an hour before serving so the fudge can harden. Store leftovers in the fridge as well.
STRAWBERRY CREAM CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
These strawberry cream chocolate truffles are light, sweet, and so smooth. Honestly, they are one of our favorite little desserts. These little desserts may be low in calories, but we suggest not popping too many at once (as hard as that may be!), as they do contain a lot of coconut oil.
Instead, keep them in the freezer for when you need to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- Cream Filling:
- ½ cup organic cashew butter
- 1 ½ cup fresh strawberries
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¼ tsp Himalayan salt
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- ½ tsp organic vanilla extract
- Chocolate:
- 1 cup coconut oil (melted)
- ½ cups raw cacao powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 scoop Detox Organics Daily Superfoods
Instructions
Mix all of your ingredients for the cream filling in a blender until smooth.
In a bowl, mix all of your chocolate ingredients together.
Using a traditional ice tray, scoop a tbsp of your chocolate mixture into each slot. Then add a tbsp of your cream filling on top of the chocolate you have added. Top those layers with another tbsp of your chocolate mixture.
Put the ice tray in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until your chocolate, and cream molds are hard. Keep treats in the freezer until you are ready to serve. Allow them to sit for 3-5 minutes before eating.
CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE
The famous chocolate lava cake is a popular choice in restaurants. After all, its how to resist a chocolate cake with a gooey chocolate center. Try this easy, quick lava cake that amazingly sits at under 200 calories a serving.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop of Detox Organics Daily Superfoods
- 2 tbsp erythritol sweetener
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tbsp heavy cream (or coconut cream for vegan, dairy-free alternative)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine your Detox Organics Daily Superfoods, salt, baking powder, and erythritol.
In a separate bowl, whisk your egg until it has a “fluffy” texture.
Add your egg, heavy cream (or coconut cream alternative), and vanilla extract to your first bowl containing your dry mixed ingredients.
Add your mixture into a safe microwave bowl and cook for one minute. If your cake is not solid after a minute, microwave for an additional 10 seconds at a time until the top is solid.
Remember, you don’t want it to be cooked all the way through! This way, when you dive in, the center should still be runny like “lava.”
FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE SUPERFOODS CAKE
Flourless cake is known for its density and for being a rich dessert. Although it is on the higher end of this low-calorie list, it still comes in under 250 calories a slice and makes about 8 servings.
Give this recipe and try, but be sure not to eat the whole cake in one sitting.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. unsweetened baker’s chocolate
- ½ cup grass-fed butter
- 1 cup erythritol sweetener
- 3 eggs (separated)
- ½ cup Detox Organics Daily Superfoods
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300º.
In a large pan, melt your chocolate and butter on low heat. Once melted, mix in your 1/2 erythritol until it is fully dissolved. Then, set aside.
Separate your three eggs and beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until they have a “foamy” or “fluffy” texture. Slowly add in 1/4 cup erythritol while you continue to beat the eggs. Your mix should become glossy and begin to form “peaks.”
In a separate bowl, whisk your egg yolks and 1/4 cup erythritol until they are a pale yellow. Mix in your melted chocolate/butter concoction.
Add Detox Organics Daily Superfoods, vanilla extract, and salt and stir. Mix well.
Slowly add in your egg whites, gently folding them into your mix until all the egg whites have been added. Gently mix until the egg whites are evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-mix or mix too roughly, or you risk deflating your egg whites.
Pour your batter into a round non-stick cake pan and bake for 35 minutes.
Once done, remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy!
