Chocolate Covered Keto Marzipan Bites

These Keto chocolate-covered marzipan bites are as delightful as candy can get. The flavors balance each other beautifully and will leave you wanting more. The chocolate bites are super soft, smooth, rich, and incredibly delicious. This fantastic dessert requires a handful of ingredients and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. These bites are ideal for a midday sweet snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

Are these Keto chocolate bites Keto-friendly?

Regular marzipan is not Keto-friendly because it is prepared with sugar. However, this Keto marzipan uses powdered erythritol, which is 100% sugar-free. Not only is this recipe Keto-friendly, but it is also gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian. Just make sure to use a Keto and vegan chocolate bar.

How can you customize this Keto marzipan recipe?

This recipe is versatile and allows you to add your personal touches. You can throw in chopped peanuts or almonds in the melted chocolate to get a nutty crunch in your marzipan bites. You can also choose to dip it in plain white chocolate, then immediately sprinkle the surface with freeze-dried raspberries for a sour punch. There are endless flavor combinations that you can try, and they all start with tasty marzipan dough.

How long will this dessert last?

Since this marzipan recipe contains raw eggs, it doesn't have a very long lifespan. You can store this chocolate-covered marzipan in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. It will last for up to a week. You can keep the marzipan dough (before dipping it in chocolate) in the freezer for up to 3 months, then divide the dough into bites and coat them when you need.

We must warn you that consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have increased susceptibility (i.e., elderly, children, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals).

Almond flour

2 cup
Raw egg

1 large
Powdered Erythritol (Icing Sugar)

0.5 cup
Almond extract

1 tsp
Vanilla extract

1 tsp
Dark chocolate

50 g
Coconut oil

1 tbsp

Step 1

To a food processor, add the almond flour and powdered erythritol. Blend until the dry mixture resembles a fine powder. If you don't have a food processor, you can whisk these 2 ingredients together in a bowl.
Step 2

Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract to the food processor. Blend until a rough dough comes together. Transfer the dough to a bowl.
Step 3

Knead for a couple of minutes until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little more almond flour. If it's too dry, add a tsp or 2 of water.
Step 4

Cut a large piece of cling film and lay it flat on your work surface. Shape the dough into a log and place it on the plastic. Wrap the cling film around the dough, secure it from both sides, and roll it until it becomes a smooth long, and thin cylinder.
Step 5

Place the marzipan log in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up. Then, slice it into 20 equal pieces using a knife or spatula. Place them on a plate and transfer them to the freezer to firm up while you prepare the chocolate.
Step 6

To a heat-proof bowl, add the chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave it in 20-second intervals until most of the chocolate has melted. Mix to dissolve the remaining chocolate.
Step 7

Take the marzipan pieces out of the freezer. Working with one at a time, stick a toothpick or wooden stick to the bottom of the marzipan and dip it in chocolate. Swirl it around to coat all the sides.
Step 8

Repeat with the remaining marzipan bites, then place them on a plate non-coated side down. Place them in the fridge until you're ready to eat or serve them. These Keto chocolate bites pair beautifully with coffee.
