Looking for a real treat you can enjoy any time of the day? This easy Keto Chocolate Skillet Danish is a must-try!

This recipe is based on my Low-Carb Blueberry Skillet Danish but this time I skipped the berries and used cacao powder in the cheesecake filling and the fluffy pancake base.

This chocolate version is like a cross between your favorite breakfast pastry, soufflé, omelet and pancake. We've got a light and fluffy base topped with creamy chocolate cheesecake topping and grated dark chocolate for that extra flavor and pretty effect. Delicious and guilt-free!

Recipe Tips

Can't eat dairy? If you need a dairy-free option, simply skip the cheese filling and use all of the egg yolks in the pancake batter, just like I did in my Keto Lemon Soufflé & Berry Pancake. You can then serve some chocolate coconut yogurt or cream on top.

Can't eat nuts? You can make this recipe nut-free by using an extra 1 1/2 tbsp coconut flour (12 g/ 0.4 oz) instead of 1/3 cup almond flour (33 g/ 1.2 oz).

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

I just tried this and I must say is one of the best keto desert I had. I didn’t had a pan but instead I use 2 ceramic cups. With the filling in the middle is almost like a lava cake but not so liquid. Thank you for posting this!

I'm glad you enjoyed, thank you so much for your lovely feedback! 😊
