    February 5 is World Nutella Day and I couldn’t let that pass without recognition! Nutella is so good: chocolate and hazelnut in spreadable form, what could be better?

    But I've really been trying to curb my sugar intake! So, before I give up my seat on the Keto Bandwagon I thought perhaps a keto version of Nutella fat bombs is in order.

    Just as sweet and delicious as a big spoonful of Nutella, without all the guilt.

    Is Nutella Keto Friendly?

    Now, if you read the nutrition label for Nutella the first ingredient is…sugar. Hmm... To state the obvious, if you’re on ANY kind of diet, this will be a problem. Lucky for us, there are now sugar-free alternatives.

    I originally found a recipe for “Keto Nutella Bars” that used Lakanto brand chocolate-hazelnut spread, which doesn’t appear to be available anywhere. Not even directly from the company! So I set out to find an alternative. Enter Amazon, my shopping answer for almost everything 😀.

    I found this (affiliate link) sugar-free cocoa-hazelnut spread, which is sweetened with Stevia and Maltitol. Perfect! (FYI, it tastes pretty great straight out of the jar).

    chocolate hazelnut spread.

    Another product which I use and like is the Keto Dave brand, which is more like a dark chocolate version. Both are excellent, but there is a big difference in carb content. Keto Dave brand is significantly lower in carbs, so if you are truly trying for a keto diet, that brand might be a better choice. It does come with a higher price tag, so that is something to consider as well.

    Due to all the differences in the cocoa-hazelnut spreads, the calorie and nutrition calculations below do not include anything from that ingredient, so keep that in mind if you are counting macros.

    Ingredients Needed

    ingredients: chocolate hazelnut spread, cream cheese, butter, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener.

    **Be sure to scroll to the recipe card for detailed quantities and directions**

    How to make Keto Nutella Fat Bombs

    These treats can be made different ways and I have tried them all: as bars or in bombs using silicone molds, or with or without chopped hazelnuts. For a smooth and fudgy treat, I use the molds and go without the extra nuts, but sometimes I really want the nuts. If you feel the same . . . by all means, go nuts!

    To start, melt a half stick of butter in a saucepan. Once this is melted, add the powdered sweetener (erythritol or a monkfruit blend) and cocoa powder.

    Mix to combine fully, then add cream cheese and the cocoa-hazelnut spread.

    added cream cheese and spread to the saucepan.

    Heat the mixture slowly on low and stir every 30 seconds until everything is melted and combined. If the cream cheese won’t cooperate, as in it looks lumpy, remove the mixture from the heat and use a hand mixer or immersion blender to fully incorporate.

    immersion blender in the mix to blend it smooth.

    I also sometimes have trouble getting the butter to mix in. Using the blender helps with that, too. So I always use an immersion blender to fully mix all the warm ingredients before transferring to a pan or molds.

    I'll email this post to you, so you can easily come back to it later!

    If you opt for additional nuts, you can do this 2 ways. One way is to stir in to the mix before transferring to the mold or pan. Or, just sprinkle them over the top. Or, both. 😀

    Then, cover and freeze for at least 2 hours before cutting or unmolding.

    The result? A sweet, creamy and delicious keto-friendly snack to satisfy those chocolate cravings.

    These Nutella Fat Bombs are wonderfully creamy and fudgy straight out of the freezer!

    Like chocolate? Try these Chocolate Cheesecake bombs! And to get warm on a cold day, have some keto hot cocoa with keto whipped cream. Delicious and satisfying!

    And I might have to try that sugar free spread in a Nutella Martini, to make a low carb version of that yummy treat!
