WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

3. In a small bowl mix the cream cheese, heavy cream and sweetener. Then crumble half of the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. Make sure the cake is completely crumbled. Add 2 Tbsp the frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until completely combined.
4. Cover a plate or tray with parchment paper. Then make small 2 Tbsp balls out of the cake mixture. (Firmly Press into a ball shape then gently press into a nice round shape with your fingers. If they crack, gently press back together.) Place the balls onto the covered plate. Then go back and mix the second half of the cake the same way. Place the cake balls in the freezer for 10 -15 minutes or in the fridge for an hour.

Recipe Notes:
– Go Easy on The Frosting. To get a nice cake like texture you don’t want the balls to be too wet. Using only a small amount of frosting will help keep the proper texture.
– They need to be cold but not frozen (or too cold). The cake pops can expand and crack when dipped in the hot chocolate, if they’re too cold. 10 -15 minutes in the freezer should be more than enough time.
– Let the Chocolate cool slightly before dipping the cake pops. Just as they crack when the balls are too cold, they can also expand and crack if your chocolate is too hot. Letting it sit for a few minutes first will help.
– Using a deep narrow cup for dipping the cake pops in the chocolate will help get the cake pops deep enough to submerge them completely.
– Use a styrofoam holder or a box with holes poked in it, to hold the cake pops upright. This will help to keep a nice round shape. They can also be placed upside down on a parchment paper lined plate if needed.
– Using a small ice cream scoop to scoop out the cake balls will help keep equal portions.
– If the cake pops crack while rolling just gently press them back together with your fingers.
– The cake can be made ahead and saved until your ready to make the cake pops. You can even make the undipped cake pops a day or two ahead of time, then dip them in the chocolate before serving.
– You can usually find cake pop sticks at any cake supply or craft store. If you can’t find any you can replace the stick with a skewer or just make cake balls instead of cake pops.
– Keep the Keto Cake Pops in the fridge until ready to serve.
