Keto Chocolate, Cranberry and Coconut Haystacks

These decadent Keto treats are made with just 5 ingredients. Our low carb haystacks are prepared with desiccated/shredded coconut, dark, unsweetened chocolate chips, coconut oil, powdered erythritol and dried cranberries. Once prepared, the mixture is simply frozen until set solid, and the haystacks can be refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Is Chocolate Keto?

Regular store-bought chocolate is not typically considered Keto-friendly. However, there are many ways in which you can still enjoy chocolate on a low carb diet. In small quantities, dark chocolate can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced Keto diet. The key is to look for chocolate with a minimum of 70% cocoa solids. This darker, more bitter chocolate is produced with less sugars, and you can even buy unsweetened bars to use for baking or chocolate that has been made with low carb sweeteners such as stevia.

Do I Have to Use Dried Cranberries?

We have added dried cranberries to our Keto chocolate and coconut haystacks for an extra burst of flavor. Dried cranberries are a great option for enjoying dried fruit on a Keto diet. Again, they should only be consumed in moderation, and we have used just one tablespoon in this recipe. If preferred, you can, of course, omit the cranberries entirely. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
