Ingredients You Need for Keto Confetti Cake Dessert Shooters

Almond Flour: Almond flour is the structure of this nutty natural flavor low-carb crust. You can use store-bought almond flour or use blanched almonds to make fresh almond flour from scratch. While most miniature dessert shooters use a graham cracker crust or graham cracker crumbs, we cut down the carbs by using almond flour.

Pecans: Finely chopped pecans add flavor and crunch to this bake. Their earthy, nutty, sweetness tastes great with the creamy confetti filling. If you want to chop the pecans quickly, try pulsing them in a food processor or high-speed blender.

Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute: Swerve is a great low-carb powdered sugar substitute. It has the perfect texture and clean sweet flavor; however, if you prefer a different variety of sugar-free confectioner’s sugar use that instead.

For this treat, you will need the Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute in both the crust and the cake filling.

Vanilla Extract: Choose a pure vanilla extract to bring a lush sweetness to balance the nut flavors in both the crust and the low-carb confetti filling.

Butter: This dairy ingredient holds the crust layer together.

Sour Cream: Sour cream brings a wonderful tangy yet creamy taste to the filling layer that cannot be beaten. Use your favorite brand of sour cream and feel free to choose low-fat sour cream if you prefer.

Cream Cheese: Cream cheese builds on the delectable creamy tastes coming from the sour cream, to make a wonderfully sweet, smooth, and vanilla-infused flavor for the filling. Choose your favorite brand of plain cream cheese for this sweet recipe.

Almond Milk: Almond milk helps to thin out the luscious keto confetti filling.

Sugar-Free Multi-Colored Sprinkles: The sprinkles are the key to confetti cake, so you need to grab some sweet sugar-free sprinkles. The multi-colored jimmies are a perfect choice for this fun low-carb dessert.

Expert Tips

To keep the creamy layer smooth and tidy, transfer the prepared filling to a piping bag. Pipe it in circles from the outside-in so the outside of the glass looks lush and full.

Confetti Cake Shooters are great for get-togethers, so you might want to prep these beauties in advance. To do so, fill the glasses with crust and chill. Prepare the filling and put it in the piping bag before chilling that as well. About half an hour before the party, take the filling out of the fridge to soften then pipe them to perfection just in time to wow your guests!

These days you can find confetti cake in a rainbow of delicious hues. If you want to brighten up this dessert with a little color, go for it!
