Keto Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Footballs

Hankering for something sweet? This no-guilt dessert is perfect for the Keto diet but is also a unique way to please a group of friends. If you have some guests that need a sweet treat as well, this is the perfect dessert for them too. Think of the fun football design you see here as a Keto Superbowl snack recipe idea. Other shape suggestions are made next, but you aren’t limited to sporting events! Form the edible cookie dough into fun shapes for birthday parties, pot lucks, or special get-togethers too. Each bite of this Keto dessert has the ganache chocolate coating, the soft and sugary cookie dough, and the crunch of a few extra chocolate chips for good measure. Kids and your inner child will thank you later.

Other shapes to design

You don’t have to make footballs! Think of simple shapes: circles, triangles, and squares. If you have a little more creative edge, you could shape hearts or stars too. Once dipped in chocolate, the cookie dough shapes will look very nice and enticing to eat.

Tips for the perfect dessert

For a smooth cookie dough, sift your almond and coconut flours before you add them to the cookie dough. While making the dipping chocolate, use low heat only to melt the ingredients and stir slowly but constantly. Keep any steam away from the chocolate, or else it will separate and be unusable.

My chocolate has streaks in it. Is it okay to eat?

When chocolate has been melted, its core ingredients have been altered, and it has gone through multiple temperature changes, chemicals are bound to change! After you cool your dessert down or keep any leftovers, you may notice white streaks in the chocolate, but don’t worry. The chocolate is completely safe to eat and is not spoiled in any way.

Butter, unsalted

8 tbsp
Brown Sugar Replacement

1 tbsp
Vanilla extract

0.25 tsp
Liquid stevia

5 Drop
Almond flour

0.5 cup
Coconut flour

0.13 cup
Dark Chocolate Chips (Keto-friendly)

40 chips
Dark Chocolate Chips (Keto-friendly)

40 chips
Cream Heavy Whipping

3 fl oz

Step 1

Cream room temperature butter in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Once the butter is soft and creamy, add your brown sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia drops to the bowl. Blend the ingredients together until the sweetener dissolves and you’re left with a pale brown, creamy mixture.
Step 2

Combine almond flour, coconut flour, and the first amount of Keto chocolate chips together in a small bowl, then add the ingredients to your stand mixer. Blend the ingredients at a low speed until you have creamy cookie dough. Since there are no eggs in the dough, you can taste the dough and add more sweetener as you feel necessary.
Step 3

Put the cookie dough in your refrigerator for at least 20 minutes for it to chill and firm up. After 20 minutes, line a sheet tray with parchment paper and pull your cookie dough from the fridge. Shape 1-tablespoon portions into flat football shapes on the tray. Take your time and use your fingers to smooth the edges out to get the right shape.
Step 4

Place the tray of cookie dough footballs in your freezer for 30 minutes. When the time is almost up, create a double boiler on your stove to melt the second amount of chocolate chips listed. Add the second amount of chocolate chips and the heavy cream measured in volume to the bowl in your double boiler. Make sure there is at least 1-inch of water in the bottom of your double boiler to melt the chocolate and cream together at low heat. Use a rubber spatula to continually stir the chocolate until it melts and comes together in a chocolate sauce.
Step 5

Remove the bowl of chocolate sauce from the stove and set it on a potholder to cool. Continually stir the chocolate to help it cool down. When the cookie dough footballs are ready, use a fork or a baker’s dipping fork to dip the footballs in the chocolate one by one. Use a butter knife to release the footballs from your fork back onto the lined sheet tray to cool.
Step 6

Return the chocolate-dipped footballs to your refrigerator to cool down. Once the chocolate is set, you can serve them. Keep the dessert cold until you’re ready to eat it.
