When the weather heats up—or you’re just short on time—no bake keto desserts are the solution. These tasty low carb treats come together without ever turning on the oven, making them ideal for summer days, meal prep, or last-minute cravings.
Whether you’re looking for creamy keto cheesecake, rich and delicious keto chocolate mousse, or refreshing sugar-free popsicles, there’s something here to satisfy every sweet tooth. Without the sugar-crash.
It’s high summer and it’s hot out there. And while you still want a treat, you certainly don’t want to be baking. That oven gives off way too much heat! That’s why you need this list of No Bake Keto Dessert Recipes.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 10+ years doing low carb is that preparation is key. Having a few keto treats around keeps me from succumbing to any sugary temptations. But when life gets busy, I don’t always have time to bake something spectacular. Or it’s simply too hot out to turn on the oven. So I rely on these recipes to see me through.
These no bake recipes are:
- Quick and easy to make with minimal prep. Well, most of them anyway! A few of them take a little more effort but are absolutely worth it, I promise.
- Perfect for hot weather: No need to turn on the oven and heat up your kitchen!
- Keto Friendly and Gluten-Free: All of these recipes have no added sugar and no gluten. And they’re all under 8 grams of carbs per serving!
- Make ahead recipes: Each one of these delicious recipes can be made in advance and frozen.
- Family-friendly and great for parties: Even non-keto folks love them!

Easy Keto Desserts
Ingredients
Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Truffles
- 3/4 cup (178.5 g) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp instant espresso powder, (can use a Starbucks Via pack)
- 4 ounces (113.4 g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup (60.67 g) powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ounces (85.05 g) dark chocolate chips, sugar-free
- 1/2 ounce (14.17 g) cocoa butter
- 1 tbsp sugar-free white chocolate chips
- 24 espresso beans
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream and espresso powder to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes to melt.
- Add the sweetener and butter, and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time, roll into balls and place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze 1 hour.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, combine the dark chocolate chips and cocoa butter. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
- Dip the frozen truffles in one at a time, tossing with two forks to coat. Lift out and tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place back on the waxed paper lined baking sheet.
- Place the white chocolate in another heat proof bowl and set over the pan to melt, stirring constantly.
- Drizzle any remaining melted dark chocolate over half of the truffles and drizzle white chocolate over the rest (Place the melted chocolate in a ziploc baggie with the very corner snipped off to pipe it over).
- While the chocolate drizzle is still warm, place one espresso bean on the top of each truffle. Let set.

hi Carolyn, I am making your keto condensed milk recipe and I was wondering if you have a recipe for coconut macaroons using the condensed milk because the recipes I’ve used in the past have been with the condensed milk.
ALSO!!! would you happen to have an ice cream recipe for sweet cream ice cream? I like it better than vanilla😊
This recipe uses the same basic approach but you don’t have to go through the full process of making the milk… https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/keto-macaroons/#recipe
