Keto Nutella Bars

These Keto and Low Carb “Nutella” Bars may be sinfully decadent and rich, but they’re perfectly acceptable on a keto or low carb diet! With 13g fat per bar, they’re definitely keto fat bombs and make an ideal dessert or snack.

(Hazelnuts not included in these calculations)

Ingredients

Instuctions:

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
2. When butter is melted, add Swerve Confectioners and cocoa powder and mix until combined. (Note: The resulting bars are very sweet; if you’d prefer a less sweet bar, use 4 or 5 tbsp Swerve.)
3. Add cream cheese and Suntella spread. Stir every 30 seconds or so until melted and combined. (Note: If you’re having trouble getting the cream cheese completely incorporated, see the next step.)
4. (if needed): If your mixture is still a bit lumpy, add it to a deep bowl and very carefully blend it to smooth with a hand mixer or immersion blender on low.
5. Line the bottom of a small glass dish (I used a 6-cup rectangular dish, which is 8 1/2″ x 6 3/4″) with parchment paper. (Note: I used non-stick cooking spray because I had run out of parchment paper, and I had some minor sticking issues.)
6. Pour mixture evenly into dish.
7. Optionally, add chopped hazelnuts to the top. (Note: I added 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts, which adds an additional 10.4g net carbs to the entire recipe, making each bar 2.1g net carbs each.)
8. Cover the dish and place it in the freezer for at least two hours.
9. Remove the pan from the freezer and lift the parchment paper with the bars out of the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bars and place the bars on a cutting board. Cut into 12 pieces. Store in the fridge for softer bars or freezer for firmer bars.
10. Enjoy! 😀
