Keto Christmas Bark

I did Keto Christmas Chocolates…Now we're doing Keto Christmas Bark.

I'm not sure if it's just me but I love Christmas just for the excuse that I get to use excessive amounts of sprinkles and food colouring.

This bark is no exception.

It's easy to make…more importantly FUN to make because you can get as creative as you want with the toppings.

It's a perfect recipe to make with kids and a great way to get everyone in the holiday spirit!

It may look like a mess when you first create it, but broken up into pieces of bark, it all comes together. Funny how that works.

Plus, did I mention it tastes great? A hint of peppermint and vanilla extract truly makes this bark a real Christmas party treat.

Some Keto Christmas Bark Ingredients I'd like to Highlight:

Powdered Monkfruit/Erythritol sweetener – this is a MUST in this recipe. YES, you can use swerve if you’d like but I guarantee you will prefer the taste so much more with a blend of these two sweeteners. Once I tried this combo, I never went back to any other sweetener again. SoNourished has a powdered Monkfruit/Erythritol blend conveniently packaged for you if you’d like to try it out.
Pure Peppermint Extract – I highly recommend you use pure peppermint extract for this recipe as using a blend that is not pure typically means it’s also diluted and you have to add a TON more to get the same amount of flavour…I use this extract for mine.
Sprinkles- NO you do not have to use sprinkles, I just put a few on top because I think they add something and barely even affect the carb count of the recipe..but if you want to add sprinkles and are concerned about the sugar, amazon now sells Sugar-Free Sprinkles and Sugar-Free Edible Glitter Sprinkles!
Food Colouring – I use these pastes for this! Pastes work best because they do not water down your dough and it takes much less to colour all of your dough!

For this recipe I used my cute kitchen aid hand mixer. (I say cute because it comes in a variety of cool colours and I just-so-happened to get it in the colour red right before I began all of my Christmas / Holiday baking).
My trusty food scale that you’ve already probably heard me rave about a million and one times in my recipes. This little buddy is my longest-running kitchen tool and it goes EVERYWHERE with me. If I could choose just one kitchen item to rule them all, it would be this baby.
A pretty holiday plate for serving (optional of course, but makes for a great display!)
Cookie Sheet – any sheet will work!
Parchment Paper-The best for keeping desserts from sticking!
Low Carb Substitution Guide – This is totally optional but if you like my recipes, I now have a $5 PDF guide available with all of the substitutions I use to create every recipe on my site. You can use this to convert old traditional recipes and create new keto recipes! You can purchase it here and/or read more if you are interested. 🙂

After the bark has been frozen solid and is broken into pieces, you can store it in the freezer in a plastic ziplock or in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer between layers of parchment paper!

1/4 cup (60g) butter, softened
1/4 cup (60g) cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp (15g) coconut oil
1/4 cup (60g) powdered monkfruit sweetener
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract or almond extract (optional!)
Red Food Colouring
Green Food Colouring
Optional Toppings: toasted unsweetened coconut, stevia sweetened chocolate-chips, sprinkles, pecans, macadamia nuts, etc.

In a bowl, add your softened butter, cream cheese, coconut oil, sweetener and extracts.
Blend using a hand mixer until smooth.
Use a spatula to scrape half the batter into another small bowl.
Add red food colouring to one half of the batter, and green to the other until desired colour is reached.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scrape both batters out in blobs around the pan.
Use a knife and spatula to flatten gently and swirl the batter together.
Add your toppings and freeze for at least 1 hour before breaking into pieces.

Enjoy your Keto Christmas Bark!
