If you’re eating keto or low carb, dessert usually isn’t the problem.
Sugar is.
Most recipes fall apart because:
-
They rely on sweeteners with weird aftertastes
-
They spike blood sugar
-
Or they’re too complicated to bother with
That’s why erythritol is a staple in keto kitchens.
It gives real sweetness without sugar, and it behaves well in simple recipes.
This easy no-bake dessert is proof.
Why Use Erythritol in Keto Recipes?
Erythritol is one of the most popular keto sweeteners because it:
-
Has zero net carbs
-
Doesn’t spike blood glucose for most people
-
Has a clean sweetness (no bitter aftertaste)
-
Works well in cold and no-bake recipes
It’s ideal when you want dessert to taste normal — not “diet.”

Tips for Using Erythritol in Desserts
-
Powder it if you want an ultra-smooth texture (especially for cold desserts)

Start with less and adjust — sweetness is personal

If you’re sensitive to sweeteners, erythritol is usually one of the gentler options.
