Homemade keto low carb chocolate made in the instant pot

Want some low carb chocolate for your sweet Valentine? Here is my sugar-free, keto chocolate that you and your loved one will fall in love with. And, it’s vegan too.

Easy homemade instant pot chocolate

Making some homemade chocolate has always been on my list. I, being a chocolate addict, end up buying chocolate chips or bites in bulk. Since I watch my sugar intake, I always look for keto or sugar-free chocolates while shopping for some. But unfortunately, most of the sugar-free chocolates have sugar alcohols that also act just like sugar and result in steep spikes. My low carb chocolate candies are sweetened with stevia and are keto-friendly. Plus, these are fully vegan.

Low-carb chocolate made in the instant pot

Making this homemade low carb chocolate is easy, quick and saves a lot of money. If you are like me and have ever bought sugar-free or low carb chocolates, then you must know how expensive they are. Even those tiniest keto chocolate bites are super expensive. Therefore, recipes like this are always on my list. My low carb chocolates are perfect keto snack for those looking for a sweet bite without jeopardizing their diet. If you want to enjoy some chocolate without feeling guilty, then this recipe is for your instant pleasure!

Chocolate and its Health Benefits:

Truffles made in the instant pot

Scientifically, chocolate has many proven health benefits. These antioxidant-rich cocoa or cacao are a powerful source of antioxidants, which means eating chocolate can help your skin fight with free radicals. Anti-inflammatory properties of chocolate can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Here is an informative article on chocolate and its health benefits.

Low carb chocolate/keto chocolate

The chocolate bars and bites we find in the stores have loads of sugar. The white and milk chocolates also contain a profuse amount of dairy. In short, the store-bought chocolates are quite far from the healthy tag. But this homemade, low carb chocolate has zero added sugar or dairy. Therefore, you can enjoy these chocolate bites without thinking much about carb or sugar.

Is this chocolate carb-free?

In this recipe, I am using unsweetened cacao powder or pure cocoa powder. You can also use 90% Lindt chocolates with no added sugar, but those bars do have a bit of sugar in them. Unsweetened chocolate chips are another great option to use in this recipe. I love the Hu Gems brand and Now Foods cocoa nibs as both of them are free of added sugar and plant-based. Feel free to use nuts in this recipe. Both chopped nuts and cocoa nibs add a nice crunch to the low carb chocolate bites.

If you want, you can also use Monk fruit sugar for sweetening these chocolates. I used stevia as it was available in my pantry.

Flavoring Low Carb Chocolate:

  • Orange zest
  • Gingerbread spice
  • Cinnamon
  • Sea salt
  • Nuts and seeds

How To Make Instant Pot Low Carb Chocolate?

Instant pot chocolate

I have used instant pot to melt my chocolate before and it works wonderfully. Therefore, I decided to use the instant pot method to make some chocolate this time. Use a pot in the pot for this recipe and it works the best. Since I used the pressure cook function for this recipe, the chocolate and cocoa butter melts slowly under constant temperature and doesn’t leave any lumps. Once the pressure cooking ends, all you need to do is mix the contents really well and add any mix-ins for extra flavors and pour in molds and chill. Your low carb chocolate bites will be ready in no time.

Ingredients of Low Carb Chocolate

½ cup(100g) cacao butter, 6 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened (48g), 4 tablespoon powdered stevia (32g), Mix-ins or toppings

    Who knew you could make chocolate in the instant pot? Such a cool idea. Also really appreciating that this is low carb. I don’t eat carbs after lunch but sometimes crave something sweet. I wouldn’t feel guilty at all having these.
