Keto Chocolate Pots De Creme

Chocolate Pot de Creme is one of my all time favorite desserts. It’s like a mix between chocolate pudding and chocolate fudge, what could you not love about that? This low-carb version tastes just like my favorite go-to recipe but without the guilt of all of that sugar! This is one ketogenic treat you can feel good about!

Since these are little individual sized desserts they make a great option for dinner parties. You can easily double or triple the recipe as well. If you’re not dairy free, feel free to use heavy whipping cream in place of the coconut milk!

You also have a few choices as far as toppings go. Sea salt is a personal favorite but crushed nuts, keto whipped cream, or extra chocolate shaving would all be delicious.
