Ingredients
Scale
- 24 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- pinch salt
- 1¼ cup granulated allulose sweetener (such as RxSugar) or keto-friendly alternative
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or your favorite keto chocolate chopped small (like ChocZero)
- 1 Tbsp finely grated orange zest
- 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- confectioners keto-friendly sweetener for garnish
- ChocZero dipping cups for garnish
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (for cannoli topping)
- 1/2 cup confectioners keto-friendly sweetener (for cannoli topping)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract (for cannoli topping)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips/chunks (for cannoli topping)
Instructions
- Position oven rack to middle of oven and preheat to 300°F (148°C) degrees.
- Put paddle attachment on stand mixer. Mix cream cheese, ricotta, and salt on medium speed, scraping sides of bowl frequently, until very smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Make sure cheese has no lumps. Add Swerve and beat until well blended and smooth.
- Add chocolate chips/chunks, orange zest and vanilla. Beat until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, one at a time, also beating until just blended. Do NOT overbeat. Pour filling into 9 inch spring form pan.
- Bake for about 55-60 minutes. The sides will be puffy and the center will look soft and jiggle. Set on rack and cool completely. At this point mix the Cannoli filling together (beat until smooth) and spread over the top of the cake. Cover and refrigerate, at least 8 hours.
- Garnish with confectioners’ sugar, chocolate, or any additional topping and serve!
Notes
- Some emerging research suggests that erythritol might increase the risk of blood clots, but more studies are needed to confirm this potential link.
- All sweeteners should be consumed in moderation, and your keto diet should primarily focus on nutritious whole foods.
