Cacao Bliss SuperFoods

Red velvet cookies are a chocolate cookie. To get that chocolate flavoring, I used my favorite keto cocoa powder replacement, Cacao Bliss! Cacao Bliss is a delicious blend of raw cacao powder and superfoods like turmeric and cinnamon. I like to use it as a replacement to unsweetened cocoa powder in all of my keto baking.

Cacao Bliss is not just your typical cocoa powder. It is raw cacao powder that contains many more additions, including a blend of superfoods. It contains turmeric, which is great for controlling inflammation. Black pepper to increase the bioavailability of the turmeric. Other superfoods added include cinnamon, MCT powder and lucuma. All of these ingredients help to control blood sugars.

Plus Cacao Bliss is lightly sweetened with monk fruit! I like to add a little bit to my morning coffee for a tasty treat.

Red Food Coloring

In case you are freaked out to add that much red dye food coloring to your cookies, you can add a smaller amount or just omit it completely; however, your keto red velvet cookies won’t have the characteristic red color. You do have to add a lot of red food dye in order to achieve a true red velvet color. Any less and your cookies will look more brown than red. They will still taste amazing if you choose to omit the red dye.

Sugar-Free White Chocolate Chips

The combination of white chocolate chips and red velvet flavoring should not be overlooked. You must add in some sugar-free white chocolate chips into these soft, chewy keto cookies. The butter, sweet white chocolate pairs perfectly with the slightly tangy red velvet cake cookies.

  1. Not all sugar-free white chocolate chips are created equal! I used Bake Believe brand and they ‘melted.’ I had small craters of liquid where the chip was. For the next pan I tediously picked out all the chips, baked, removed from oven then topped with 3-4 chips. Tasty but fell apart easily. Will bake again and try another brand of chips.

    1. Glad you enjoyed the recipe! I haven’t heard of that brand of chocolate chips. The brand I always recommend and use is by ChocZero. I haven’t had any issues with these. They bake like regular chocolate chips. Lily’s is another good choice. But yes, you can add the chips after you have molded the cookies. Remember to let them cool completely before handling your cookies or they will fall apart.
