My love of low carb cookies is no secret, and these Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystacks are right up there with the best of them! Primarily because they are no-bake, and therefore ready to eat in as little as five minutes! Also, they are intensely chocolatey, chewy and creamy at the same time, and they fall into the fat bomb category, so you can eat them anytime and not even feel bad about it! #allthewinning ?
This Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystacks recipe was born of my desperate desire for something sweet and chocolatey RIGHT NOW, coupled with my being too lazy and impatient to want to actually bake something – or wait for said something to be ready to eat. This pretty much describes my low carb life lately.
If you can relate, then this is your low carb cookie recipe my friends. #lazyketochocolateloversunite
The shredded coconut in these Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystacks makes them chewy and cookie-like, and the nuts add a pleasant crunch and earthy flavor. If you are allergic to nuts then you can certainly omit them, or if you have a specific nut preference, you can sub in your nut of choice.
If you’re a fan of fruit and nut bars, you can throw in a couple of dried cranberries or cherries (or ewww, raisins) into these keto cookies, but be mindful of the extra carbs if you do.
Mr. Hungry and I have been grabbing one of these no bake keto fudge haystack cookies for breakfast along with our coffee on busy mornings, and I’ve found that it easily keeps me satisfied until lunchtime! They make a great after dinner treat too – or pretty much whenever you want a blissful few bites of creamy chocolate goodness!
My handy dandy cookie dough scooper is in storage in New Jersey right now, so I just used two spoons to form my keto haystack cookies. It’s much easier and faster if you do have a scoop though, so I’ll be bringing one back on my next trip to the States!
These Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystack Cookies are everything you want in a low carb chocolate cookie fix! Quick, easy, delicious, creamy AND crunchy, and they’ve got that sweet / salty thing going on if you like that sort of thing! Which I do. A LOT.
Can’t wait for you to make these and hit me with your feedback in the comments!

I must have done something wrong. I just made these but could not get the granular sweetener to melt into the butter/cream cheese. Even tried warming the butter/cream cheese in warm water – that helped make the whole thing more like a super thick icing but still the sugar was crunchy. Okay enough when the coconut was added.

We loved these! Mine seemed a little soft out of the mixer so I tossed in a bit of extra coconut and that did the trick. We sprinkled half with a tiny bit of cinnamon sugar before chilling, which was nice. For next time, I’m going to double the recipe, split it up and to each segment add either a) dried cherries b) red pepper flakes c) pistachios and d) bacon. And make smaller haystacks so people can sample. Will be great for December holidays! Thanks, Melissa.

These are our new favourites! I did add about ½ to ¾ cup of natural peanut butter, because we love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter! So delish! This is the second time we’ve made these and we love them. Doubled the batch and made 50 cookies. Thanks heaps for this recipe!
Gina says
Oh my days! Too good to make again for at least another Month. Couldn’t help myself and ate the entire batch in 3 days! LOVE this recipe Thanks for posting gt :) :)]
Mel says
Not sure what happened but mine came out so sweet it was gross. I even reduced the sugar by 1/3. I had to throw them all away.

FREAKING DELICIOUS!!!!
I’ve been looking for a simple low-carb chocolate dessert with coconut. This is it!!! I didn’t have any walnuts on hand, but they still turned out yummy. I rolled them into small balls, so they look like chocolate candies.
Thank you!

These are delsh!! Mine weren’t as firm as I wanted so I rolled half in coconut, and the other half in crushed walnuts. So good!! I also made the mistake of doubling the cream cheese by accident, and they still turned out fabulous. I will make them again for sure. :) . They totally help with my sweet tooth cravings.
