Keto Strawberry Chocolate Bark

This keto strawberry chocolate bark is a great low-carb dessert for Valentine’s Day! With just 3 ingredients this healthy fat bomb is an easy dessert that’s ready in no-time.

I like to keep our bark in the freezer and set it our just a few minutes before eating to let it soften just a bit. I used fresh strawberries here but you could also use frozen sliced strawberries or even raspberries! Just be sure to re-calculate the macros if you choose to use a different fruit.

Ingredients (makes servings)
  • 140 g 90% dark chocolate or Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips (5 oz)
  • 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil (28 g/ 1 oz)
  • 4-5 strawberries, sliced (85 g/ 3 oz)

Note: You should use at least 85% dark chocolate (less than than will be too high in carbs), or even 100% unsweetened dark chocolate and add a few drops of stevia or skip the sweetener altogether.

Instructions
  1. Combine the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 1 minute increments until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or a glass bowl on top of a small saucepan filled with a cup of water over a medium heat.
  2. Pour the chocolate mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.

  3. Top with sliced strawberries then transfer to the freezer for one hour until set.

  4. Cut or break into pieces.
