    Keto Christmas Desserts All The Family Will Love

    Christmas can be a difficult time to navigate when you follow a ketogenic diet. For me, avoiding all the desserts that are available on the table at Christmas lunch can be pretty hard. To make it easier, we take our favourite keto Christmas desserts for everyone to share. To be honest, it is often the first dessert to be completely gone!

    Looking for keto Christmas dessert options? Here are 30 delicious keto Christmas desserts that you will be able to enjoy and all the family will love. #ketoholidays #ketoChristmas #lowcarbholidays #lowcarbChristmas #ketoChristmasdesserts #ketoChristmasdessertrecipes

    The best keto Christmas desserts

    We are about to embark on our 4th Christmas since we began our keto journey. I can’t believe we have already done 3 Christmas’s on keto and we are gearing up for our 4th.

    Our biggest tip when we are heading into Christmas, and all the carb filled foods and treats we are likely to face, is to be prepared. Offer to take some dishes with you. Our favourite dish to take with us is always dessert.

    Taking a keto dessert means we are able to indulge in dessert without all the guilt associated with a the usual sugar filled pavlova or Christmas pudding.

    We decided to compile some of our favourite desserts that will please all the family.

    Keto Trifle

    Trifle is a classic Christmas dessert, especially in Australia. It’s very common to see a trifle as part of a Christmas dessert spread. Trifle can be a real centrepiece and can have real wow factor. Check out some of these delicious keto trifle options.

    Pavlova

    Pavlova is another classic Australian Christmas dessert. I never thought a keto or low carb option would be doable, but I have been proven wrong by a couple of our favourite keto people. Megan from Mad Creations, Gerri and Matt from My Keto Kitchen and Aaron from Fat for Weightloss have all created delicious looking pavlova recipes. If you are someone that is likely to be tempted by the pavlova at Christmas, why not make one of these creations and enjoy the pavlova without the guilt this Christmas.
