Ever thought keto desserts had to be boring? Think again! This Berry & Hazelnut Delight is here to prove that low-carb treats can be creamy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor. I remember my first keto birthday—no cake, no cookies. It felt sad… until I created this recipe! Let’s dive into how you can make this easy, 6-ingredient wonder that’s ready in 20 minutes.
Why This Recipe Works for Keto
Keto diets focus on high fat, low carbs, and moderate protein. Here’s why this dessert fits:
- Berries: Low in sugar (4g net carbs per ½ cup) compared to other fruits.
- Hazelnuts: Packed with healthy fats and fiber.
- No added sugars: Uses keto-friendly sweeteners like erythritol.
Rhetorical Q: “But wait—can desserts really be healthy?” Yes! The right ingredients keep carbs low while satisfying cravings.
