Easy Sugar Free Low Carb Keto Italian Zeppole
Mar 29, 2025 06:55 AM
This sugar free, low carb keto zeppola recipe is an easy, gluten free keto dessert that has just 2 grams of carbs per serving! No keto flours needed!
The Italian zeppole recipe were created in Naples in 1840 to celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph which is March 19th, two days after St.Patrick’s Day.
Unstuffed Zeppole are essentially fried Italian doughnuts. Basically a cream puff that is often stuffed with ricotta cream and sometimes chocolate and topped with a candied cherry.
It’s a common Italian dessert that are still a treasured tradition for both Italians and Italian-Americans.
These have been on my foodie bucket list for a long time and finally I’ve got a keto recipe for you that I’m thrilled with!
Of course, they will never taste exactly like an authentic gluten flour zeppole, but they are a pretty fantastic dessert for anyone watching their sugar intake or on a keto diet or low carb diet.
