Low Carb Chocolate Quick Bread & Trifle

Apr 16, 2020 · Leave a Comment

What is better than a 2 for 1 dessert? Well, yes there are many things, but this is a food blog, so…. You will love this low carb chocolate quick bread. It is a delicious stand alone dessert but I discovered it can morph into a decadent trifle treat.

This chocolate bread is not a deep rich cake. This recipe from Carb manager was perfect since I was searching for a light cocoa flavor that would lend itself to being more of a base for keto whipped cream or no sugar added ice cream.

Ingredients for low carb chocolate quick bread:

  • almond flour, finely milled ( I recommend Bob’s Red Mill)
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • ground golden flaxseed meal (Bob’s again; I believe it’s necessary for texture)
  • confectioner’s powder sugar substitute ( I used Swerve)
  • dark cocoa powder ( Hershey’s is my preference)
  • egg
  • vanilla
  • sour cream (not pictured)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • Xanthan gum (optional, but it helps texture)

This is a simple quick bread to make. You just dump all the dry ingredients in a food processor, pulsing until smooth. Then the wet ingredients are added and mixed again. I haven’t tried it but I’m guessing you can use a mixer if you don’t have a processor. The idea is not to over mix the batter.

Pour the batter into a parchment lined 9×5 loaf pan which has been sprayed with baking spray

The quick bread rises up beautifully and after it has fully cooled, also slices easily. I have found some low carb cakes and breads crumble easily and are difficult to remove from the pan and also hard to slice cleanly.

It is a delicious bread and not overly sweet. The first time we tried it, I just added a swirl of coconut non dairy whipped cream. It was wonderful and I couldn’t imagine changing a thing. However, I found it only stayed light and fresh for about 3 days at room temperature and didn’t really do any better after freezing. Now if you have a larger family, you could easily finish this low carb chocolate bread in 3 days. But it’s just Jim and I so I wanted to find another option.

The perfect solution was a trifle. Here’s how I made it:

  • I defrosted the remainder of the bread and cut it into cubes.
  • I made a chocolate fudge no sugar instant pudding.
  • Using half of the pudding, I added some no sugar cool whip to make a mousse-like pudding.
  • I added some vanilla extract to the remainder of the cool whip.
  • Then just layer; starting with chocolate bread, pudding, mousse, whipped topping. Finish off with a no sugar chocolate syrup. ( I like the Choc-Zero brand).

And ta-da, an ooey, gooey delight!
