Keto Cookie Dough Bites
If you love cookie dough these Frozen Keto Cookie Dough Bites will make your dreams come true. They are super easy to make and store for months in the freezer (if they last that long). These healthy cookie dough bites are the perfect sweet bite to end your days. This easy recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
It’s almost summer here in New Jersey, finally, after a bunch of Nor’easters including a few inches of snow on Easter Monday, in April. We are definitely ready for warm weather and time at the pool. This is the time of year I find myself reaching for ice cream, popsicles, and no-bake desserts more than anything else. Who really wants to turn on the oven when it is 80 or 90 degrees outside? Not me.
I love my no-bake cheesecakes and have a hard time deciding whether to make the cookie dough cheesecake or the berry cheesecake. Those are great for company and entertaining. But when I just want a cool bite of something to pop into my mouth these healthy cookie dough bites are the way to go.
This is one of the first recipes I ever came created in the early days of blogging in 2016. I have the photos from then but lost the little scrap of paper I wrote this recipe on. It’s been on my list to redo ever since.
How to Make Keto Cookie Dough Bites
If you’ve ever made a cookie before you can make these! You just make cookie dough, freeze it, and dip it in chocolate. You can’t get any easier or more delicious than that!
I went through a cookie dough phase last summer while I was pregnant so I cheated a little and just used the cookie dough layer from my no-bake cookie dough cheesecake in this recipe too. I love it in all shapes and applications but these poppable keto cookie dough bites may be my favorite.
What Mold Should I Use?
I recommend making these in a silicone mold. I used a peanut butter cup mold from Amazon but you can really use any size mold. You want each cavity to hold about 1/2 an ounce. If your mold is smaller you may need more chocolate to coat all the cookie dough bites.
After you stir the dough ingredients together, you freeze them in a mold, and then dip into melted chocolate. The chocolate part can be a little messy but no one I know has ever complained about having to lick melted chocolate off their fingers.
These harden instantly since the frozen dough chills the melted chocolate. It’s like magic. Once I’ve covered all of the cookie dough bites in chocolate I store in the freezer for that perfect cool treat.
Expert Tip for Keto Cookie Dough Bites
My tip for easily coating these is to use toothpicks. Use one toothpick to poke the keto cookie dough bite and dip it in the chocolate and then use another toothpick to ease it off the first toothpick.
A few of them look a little messy but every last one was delicious. Just kidding. I didn’t eat them ALL today but I certainly thought about it. If you prefer you can just keep these in the fridge but I love them frozen. They are just like the chunks of cookie dough in cookie dough ice cream. No digging down the sides required.
I hope you enjoy these healthy keto cookie dough bites as much as I did!

I love these, but in order to get 25 of these, they were the size of a nickel.
They are the size of a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup. That is the size mold I use. You can make them bigger if you want.
Hi , is there a way to make the almond and coconut flour less grittu?
You can sift them. You can also try grinding them finer but be careful or you’ll end up with almond butter.
What can you sub for the coconut oil in the chocolate coating?
It just thins the chocolate making it easier to use as a coating. You can omit it but will need more chocolate overall.
I’m leaving a 5 star rating bc I’m sure these will be awesome and otherwise I can’t leave a comment
I just have a question about the amount of almond flour: Is one cup correct? because it says CUPS.
You can leave a comment without clicking on the stars. It is one cup. That is a typo and I’ll fix it now 🙂
So delicious! I keep these on hand in the freezer. Instead of coating in chocolate, I added in a little melted peanut butter in to the mixture and holy cow….made a great recipe even greater!! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds wonderful, but I am allergic to tree nuts, so no almond flour for me! I would have no idea of what to substitute instead.
Sunflower flour seed flour is a great sub for almond flour. You can buy it pre-ground or just grind raw unsalted sunflower seeds to a powder.
What kind of almond flour
I normally use fine ground blanched almond flour. But almond meal would work in this too.
Oat flour or coconut flour work great. You can make your own oat flour by simply grounding the oats in a blender, or you can problau funded already grounded oat flour. You can definitely find coconut flour in the store.
