The Best White Chocolate For A Keto Diet
White chocolate isn’t easy to replicate on a low carb, ketogenic diet. However, we all love white chocolate so much to the point that we had to figure out a way, and we did just that! The secret ingredient in getting the white chocolate flavor is raw cacao butter. It may not be the perfect replacement, but we’ve searched high and low and have found that this is the best option nutritionally and flavor wise! We always have a bag on hand for baking and recipes that can boost our fats without hitting carbs and protein.

When you discover an ingredient as good as raw cacao butter, you can’t only use it in one recipe. Having found the perfect fat form that is solid at room temperature and creamy is taste it’s only right you find several other ways to make use of it! We have an incredible white hot chocolate that Matt makes often for a night cap and to top off his fat macros. We also use it in a low carb chocolate bar that will be better than any bar on the market, nutritionally and in taste. And, we are currently working on several fat bomb recipes using it so be on the look out!
