Key Ingredients
- 🍦 1 cup heavy cream
- 🥜 1/2 cup almond flour
- 🧈 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 🤎 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 🥄 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 🍫 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 🍪 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. This takes just a minute with an electric mixer – but a good workout with a whisk works too!
2️⃣ Gradually add the erythritol and beat until well combined.
3️⃣ Add the cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated and smooth.
4️⃣ Stir in the almond flour until just combined. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay.
5️⃣ Gently fold in the heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Again, no need to overmix.
6️⃣ Stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips (if using).
7️⃣ Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
Handy Tips
- For a smoother dip, use a stand mixer or hand mixer.
- If you don’t have almond flour, you can substitute with coconut flour, but the texture might be slightly different.
- Don’t skip the chilling step! It allows the flavors to really develop and gives the dip a better consistency.
Heat Control
This recipe doesn’t involve any heat, making it super safe and easy for everyone. The only “heat” is the potential warmth from your hands as you mix, but that’s easily managed.
Crunch Factor
The almond flour adds a subtle nuttiness and a light, pleasant texture. The optional sugar-free chocolate chips provide a satisfying crunch.
Pro Kitchen Tricks
- For an extra smooth dip, briefly pulse the almond flour in a food processor before adding it to the mixture.
- Boost the chocolate flavor with a tablespoon of strong brewed coffee or espresso.
- Add a pinch of sea salt for a sophisticated touch that enhances all the other flavors.
Storage Tips
Store leftover Keto Cookie Dough Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
