Hi! I’m Anita, a mother of 2 young girls and a chocoholic! I lost all my baby weight when I cut out sugar from my diet even though I still ate healthy chocolate every day. Some might say that’s impossible, but I’m living proof that it can be done!
This sugar-free chocolate spread is a healthier alternative to Nutella because it doesn’t contain any sugar or modified palm oil, which causes inflammation in the body.
It’s also a low-carb version of the Pana chocolate spread that I love but isn’t great for weight-loss as it contains coconut sugar.
The consistency makes this sauce more like a sugar-free chocolate sun butter or spread than homemade chocolate syrup. It is perfect for sneaking a spoonful when you feel like a chocolate treat.
Keto chocolate sauce
This sugar-free chocolate sauce is keto-friendly because it doesn’t contain sugar. This means that it won’t affect your blood sugar levels and will help you stay in ketosis. It’s a great option for those who want to indulge whilst losing weight.
This keto chocolate sauce is a great option for those who are looking for a sugar-free dessert or even by itself. I like to make mine into a choc-mint flavor and eat a spoonful whenever I have a chocolate craving.

How to store sugar-free chocolate sauce
The sauce will stay in your pantry for a month or two. Mine always gets eaten long before then anyway and I’m sure yours will too.
If you store it in the fridge the coconut oil will solidify so you will need to gently warm it in a microwave in 10 second intervals alternating with stirring or in a bain marine over medium heat. Make sure your microwave is on a low setting so you don’t accidentally burn it.
