Keto Christmas Fruit Cake Squares
These chocolate, ginger and blackberry squares make a great Keto Christmas fruit cake - with a twist! Our low carb sponge squares are warm with festive spices, rich with cocoa and studded with fresh juicy blackberries. This alternative take on fruit cake makes a great Christmas Keto dessert recipe, perfect for enjoying over the festive season.
Is Fruit Cake Keto?
Traditional fruit cake is densely packed with dried fruit and high in carbs and sugars. We have paired fresh blackberries with warming spices and a hint of orange to create a festive flavor, minus the heavy carbs. We think blackberries are a great pairing for chocolate and ginger, however you could swap for 1/2 a cup of fresh blueberries if preferred. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
How to Serve
Our Keto fruit cake squares have been baked in a 6x6 inch square tin. Once cooled, the cake is cut into nine squares to create individual servings. These are delicious as they are, or for some extra holiday indulgence, we suggest serving with some whipped cream, Keto brandy butter or low carb ice cream.
