So you’ve been doing Keto and now you want a sweet treat, right? It’s normal to crave sugar when you almost completely obliterate it from your diet.

But who said you have to give up eating sweets while doing the Keto diet? With all the sugar replacements available now, you don’t have to. While my husband does the Ketogenic Diet and I do Weight Watchers Freestyle, we are both never at a loss for eating sweets, or craving them!

Actually, though my husband has always been a night time snacker. And ironically, this was one of the reasons he prolonged starting Keto.

Fortunately for him that hasn’t changed since beginning Keto.

Below, I am sharing with you his ultimate Keto dessert recipe for Sweet Ricotta Strawberry Parfaits. Also, if you are more of a chocolate lover, here’s another Keto friendly dessert.

Also, feel free to switch the strawberries out for raspberries, blueberries, or other Keto friendly fruits.

Lastly, this recipe per parfait is only 7 Net Carbs for 1 tall Parfait. So, indulge without guilt.
