IYDK: The ketogenic diet is marked by the consumption of low levels of carbohydrates and high amounts of fat. Adherents swear by the diet’s ability to potentially lose weight and lower unhealthy markers such as blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
And this is where keto desserts come in. Keto-friendly desserts are made without most forms of sugar (ranging from table sugar to honey) and employ both natural and artificial sweeteners such as monkfruit and erythritol instead that wouldn’t spike blood sugar levels.
More often, ketogenic sweet treats are also made without or little wheat flour, making them gluten-free too. Finally, these desserts are also perfect for the health-conscious who want or need to cut down their sugar intake, such as those with diabetes.
