Keto Cloud Cakes with Pineapple Frosting and Berries

The Ketogenic Diet has risen in popularity in the last years. The low carb, high protein meal plans allow you to eat cheese, meats, and other goodies in moderation. They do, however, cut out sugar and most carbohydrates completely. So if you're a sweet fiend, the Keto diet can be hard to maintain. Luckily, these Keto Cloud Cakes can satiate the worst sugar cravings.

Most Keto desserts contain artificial sweeteners in them. We wanted to create something that had sweetness only derived from actual food. None of that artificial aftertaste or impending migraine triggered by chemicals. The sweetness in these Keto Cloud Cakes comes only from the fruit.

Cloud Cakes are similar to Cloud Bread, which is a flourless bread substitute. Just add vanilla to give it a touch dessert quality.

Here's a pro-tip for slicing large quantities of strawberries: try using an egg slicer! The Endurance® Egg Slicer gives you perfectly even slices every time and the process goes much quicker than slicing with a knife.

Once the cake bake and cool, the fruit and frosting prepped, you can assemble these Keto Cloud Cakes in a jiff! If you want to pre-make the separate components (say, for a party), simply keep everything chilled until ready to assemble.

These cakes are so pretty and naturally sweetened, nobody would ever know they're keto compliant. Enjoy!
