    Prepare the dough

    To form the cookies, pinch off equal parts of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate dough (about 15 grams each) and press them together so that they stick together but keep their individual colors. Press the cookie dough into a cookie scoop, tablespoon or roll it into a ball. Place cookie dough ball on a parchment lined baking tray then press down the cookie with the back of a spoon to flatten. Repeat with remaining dough and space cookies about 1 inch apart.

    Let cool

    Once done baking, remove from the oven and let cookies completely cool on the baking tray before transfering to a wire rack. Don't attempt to pick up the cookies before they have finished cooling or else the cookies may break and crumble.

Keto Neapolitan Flavoring

Traditionally Neapolitan flavor is strawberry, vanilla and chocolate – three flavors side by side next to each other.
  • Strawberry – To get the strawberry color and flavor, we add a couple drops of pink or red food coloring along with some strawberry extract. You can save 10% off your first order with my code KETOFOCUS-10 at checkout. You can add about 7 drops of the Oooflavor drops or 1 teaspoon of strawberry extract if you are using a traditional strawberry extract you would find at the grocery store. The Oooflavor drops are concentrated. That’s why they require less.
  • Vanilla – The vanilla cookie is flavored by using vanilla extract. You don’t need to add any coloring to this since the cookie dough is already a white Neapolitan color.
  • Chocolate – To flavor these keto Neapolitan cookies with chocolate, you have a couple of options. The best option is to melt down ¼ cup of dark chocolate sugar-free chips and mix the melted chocolate into the dough. This creates rich chocolate flavor and produces a dark brown coloring. Instead, you could add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, but the color won’t be as dark as it would if you used melted chocolate.

The Best Way to Shape Neapolitan Cookies

Sure you could layer down each flavor on top of the next and roll it into a cylinder to slice; however, I like to pinch off a little of each flavored dough and press it into a cookie scoop, then release onto a parchment lined baking tray. This way, you get a beautiful, unusual pattern with each cookie. It’s best to chill the cookie dough before baking. I like to pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows for the flavors to meld together. Plus the cookies won’t spread as much when you bake them. neapolitan cookies half dipped in dark chocolate

Dip it in Chocolate

This is optional but for a fun variation, dip your low carb Neapolitan cookies in melted dark chocolate and add a sprinkling of sea salt for a pretty presentation!

Keto Neapolitan Cookies: FAQS

Can I substitute almond flour with another flour?

Almond flour is key for the keto-friendly aspect of these cookies, but if you need a substitute, you can try sunflower seed flour. Keep in mind that it may alter the flavor and texture slightly.

What can I use instead of monk fruit sweetener?

You can use erythritol or stevia as alternatives, but be sure to adjust the quantity as they have different sweetness levels. Always check the conversion ratio on the package!

How should I store these keto neapolitan cookies?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper!

Are these cookies suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes! These keto neapolitan cookies are gluten-free since they use almond and coconut flour instead of regular wheat flour.

Can I make these cookies vegan?

To make them vegan, you can replace the unsalted butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute, and use a flax egg instead of regular eggs. However, the texture may vary slightly.

  1. These turned out great. I love how you only need one batch of dough for all three flavors. My kids thought they were fun and even my husband who is not doing keto enjoyed them.
