Learn more about Erythritol and the Ketogenic Diet:

Erythritol is a low-calorie sweetener made by fermenting natural sugars found in foods such as fruit, beer, and cheese. It is commonly used in the ketogenic diet because it has a minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin, making it ideal for those trying to reduce their sugar intake.

The ketogenic diet, or keto diet, is based on lowering carbohydrates and increasing healthy fats to induce a metabolic state called ketosis. In this state, the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, which can lead to greater weight loss and improvements in metabolic health.

The almond and coconut flours used in this recipe are low-carb, high-fat flours that are ideal for maintaining the nutritional intake required in the ketogenic diet.

The keto walnut, hazelnut and chocolate cake will not only satisfy your sweet tooth, but it will allow you to enjoy a delicious dessert without straying from your nutritional goals. Get ready to delight your taste buds with this healthy and tasty delicacy!

I approached ketogenic cuisine thanks to the Doc who explained to me how to best balance the ingredients.
