Description
Low Carb Keto Turtles are a delicious and guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without the carbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sugar-free caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar-free caramel sauce and coconut oil. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange clusters of 3-4 pecan halves in a circle to form a base for each turtle. Drizzle a spoonful of the caramel mixture over each cluster.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-topped pecan clusters.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each turtle for an added flavor boost.
- Refrigerate the turtles for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate and caramel to set.
- Once set, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy your low carb keto turtles!
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seeds for the pecans.
- Add a sprinkle of crushed sea salt or a dash of vanilla extract to the caramel mixture for extra flavor.
