Keto Friendly Chocolate Coconut Clusters

On a low carb diet but still craving chocolate? These keto friendly chocolate nut clusters can be whipped up in about 5 minutes, and they are incredibly decadent and addicting. You would never guess that they are low carb!

Not only are they rich and creamy, they have a perfect crunch from the toasted coconut and nuts. I bet you’re gonna love ’em!

KETO CHOCOLATE CANDY – ECONOMICAL & SCRUMPTIOUS!

I have always been a chocoholic, so I knew there was no way I could try the keto diet if chocolate wasn’t an option. Of course there is store bought keto chocolate, but I found that the ones that are tasty are also ridiculously expensive.

After trying a few keto candy recipes, I adapted a recipe for no bake cookies from the Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen, and these tasty morsels were born. I was in heaven after one bite!

One cluster is under 2 net carbs, so you can enjoy them without guilt. They are a perfect way to satisfy a sweet tooth or a chocolate craving. You’re welcome.

HOW TO MAKE KETO CHOCOLATE COCONUT CLUSTERS

1. Toast your nuts and coconut. Chop your pecans, macadamia nuts, and unsweetened chocolate; set aside.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner. 
3. In a small heavy saucepan, melt coconut oil, almond butter, and chopped chocolate over medium low heat, stirring constantly.
4. Whisk in cocoa powder, Swerve confectioners, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking over low heat till smooth and creamy. 
5. Stir in the chopped nuts and toasted coconut.
6. Scoop mixture by tablespoonfuls onto parchment or silicone baking mat. You should get a dozen clusters.
7. Chill for about 30 minutes, or until set. Store clusters in the refrigerator.

HOW TO STORE KETO CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS

These decadent keto chocolate snacks will keep in the refrigerator for a week or two. I just pop them in ziplock bags after they have cooled and hardened. You can also store them in the freezer for up to two months. 

Warning: You do not want to store them at room temperature, they melt quickly because of the coconut oil!

LOW CARB CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS VARIATIONS:

• I’ve tried these treats with all pecans and all macadamia nuts. All of the varieties are delicious, but I like the combination of the two kinds of nuts. You can use any nuts, just be aware that some have a higher carb count.
• Being a dark chocolate fan, I find these keto candies to be plenty sweet. But if you prefer, you can add 1/3 cup of Swerve confectioners or more to your liking.
• If you have a specific nut allergy, you can use all coconut instead of half nuts. And of course you can use all nuts instead of half coconut.
• I used the shredded coconut flakes, but you can use the larger coconut chips.
• Try sprinkling each cluster with a bit of sea salt before they set up.
• If you have a favorite sugar substitute, you can try it in place of the Swerve, but I can’t guarantee the results. 😉
• For chunkier clusters, you can leave your almonds and macadamia nuts whole, or just cut them in half.
