Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 12 servings (2 clusters per serving)
Difficulty: Easy
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: Keto, Low-carb
kcal: Approximately 120 kcal per serving
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts), unsalted and raw
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
- Start by preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the clusters from sticking to the surface.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt into the melted chocolate mixture. The salt will enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness.
- Gently fold in the mixed nuts into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring that all the nuts are coated evenly.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonful’s of the chocolate-nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters. You can make them as small or as large as you prefer.
- Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for about 5 minutes, and then transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Once the clusters are firm, remove them from the refrigerator and carefully peel them off the parchment paper.
- Store the Keto Chocolate Nut Clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy them as a delightful keto-friendly dessert or a quick and satisfying snack!
Note: Feel free to customize your Keto Chocolate Nut Clusters by adding other low-carb ingredients such as shredded coconut, chia seeds, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
