Take everything you love about carrot cake and turn it into bite-sized treats! These carrot cake balls are covered in white chocolate and taste like a decadent truffle – but they’re shockingly low in carbs!
Carrot Cake Balls
These white chocolate-coated carrot cake balls are the best versions of carrot cake. Instead of a complicated, layered cake with cream cheese frosting, these cake balls are coated in white chocolate and dusted with cinnamon.
It’s almost impossible to stop at just one. Thankfully, there are only 3 grams of net carbs in each serving so that you can indulge in a few!
These carrot cake balls are made with almond flour (not almond meal). So, they are naturally gluten-free.
They are the perfect dessert to share with anyone who is gluten-sensitive or intolerant. I’ve made another carrot cake-inspired dessert before, too!
If you like how these carrot cake balls taste, then make some no-bake low-carb carrot cake bars next. I love that they are easy to make ahead!
White Chocolate Carrot Cake
My favorite type of white chocolate to use as the coating is from Lily’s. It’s so rich and creamy and it doesn’t have any funky aftertaste.
I’ve used it to make other desserts. In fact, my keto white chocolate peppermint bark tastes better than candy bars. Everything about these cake balls is amazing!
As you bite into them, your teeth sink into the creamy white chocolate. Then, the soft and aromatic carrot cake fills your mouth.
There are even chopped pecans mixed into the moist carrot cake. It’s a conglomeration of taste and texture that makes them absolutely irresistible.
Low-Carb Truffles
These tasty little cake balls are perfect for any occasion, any time of year. You might associate them as a spring-time dessert, but they really fit in well with any party or season. Place them in a decorative tin and give them away as a teacher appreciation gift, hostess gift, or housewarming gift.
Or serve them as a dessert after dinner. It’s really easy to make a big batch of them, so serve them at a big family dinner (like an Easter dinner).
And you can never go wrong serving them at a party! They are the perfect size for snacking during a game on TV or a movie marathon.
Keto Desserts
It’s so much fun to enjoy desserts on the keto diet. In fact, desserts (like these) can give you the healthy fats that your body needs so much. And there are so many nutritious desserts you can make after you make these carrot cake balls.
Are you craving ice cream? Then make either a keto protein Frosty or some keto ice cream bites.
Do you love strawberries? Then make some keto strawberry chocolate cheesecake bark.
It’s a delicious way to combine strawberries and chocolate! Or make some low-carb no-bake strawberry cheesecake bites.
How To Store Cake Pops
You should store the carrot cake balls in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature or colder. They will stay fresh at room temperature for about three days.
Can you freeze carrot cake balls? Yes, you can! When you’re ready to eat them again, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
