Gather Your Ingredients.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Mozzarella gives the chaffle its unique texture and helps bind the ingredients together. It's low in carbs, high in protein, and melts smoothly, perfect for this delicious recipe. If you're dairy intolerant, you can use a dairy-free cheese substitute.
-Large Eggs: Eggs add structure to our chocolate chaffle and hold everything together. They also enhance the protein content.
-Vanilla Extract: It's the subtle undertones that make all the difference. Vanilla extract adds depth to the chocolatey flavor, complementing and enhancing the cocoa.
-Lakanto Powdered Sweetener: One of the reasons our chocolate waffles are keto-friendly. This sweetener has zero net carbs and is a great alternative to regular sugar. You can also experiment with other keto-friendly sweeteners like Stevia or Erythritol.
-Cocoa Powder, unsweetened: Our favorite ingredient that satisfies our chocolate cravings. It's rich in antioxidants and adds that indulgent chocolate flavor. Always opt for unsweetened to control the sweetness and keep the carbs low.
-Red food coloring, optional: Want to get creative with your keto chocolate chaffle? A bit of red food coloring can give your waffles a fun twist, turning them into red velvet chaffles. But this is completely optional.
-Cream Cheese: This topping ingredient adds creaminess and a slight tang to balance the sweet flavors. It also boosts the fat content, keeping your chocolate chaffle still keto.
