Equipment

  • food processor
  • cupcake liners or ramekins

Ingredients

CRUST

CHOCOLATE GANACHE LAYER

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5 ounces sugar free, semi-sweet chocolate cut in small pieces
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into cubes

STRAWBERRY MOUSSE LAYER

  • 6 ounces fresh strawberries washed & hulled
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 serving Strawberry Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)

Instructions

  • To make the crust, pulse the strawberries and almonds in the food processor until they are finely ground, then mix in the erythritol, butter, and salt. Blend until it’s all mixed.
  • Press the mixture into the bottoms of the eight liners or ramekins as evenly as possible They should be about 1/2 inch thick.
  • To make the ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until small bubbles start to break the surface and it's almost simmering. Take the cream off the heat and put all the chocolate into the cream. Let it sit for about a minute for the chocolate to soften. Then gently stir the mixture until it is glossy and all the chocolate is melted. Add the butter and stir gently until it has melted and is mixed in.
  • Pour a layer of ganache over each crust layer, then transfer them to the freezer to set while you make the strawberry mousse.
  • Puree the strawberries to a liquid and strain through a fine sieve. They should yield approximately 1/2 cup of strawberry puree.
  • Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks begin to form, then sprinkle the Keto Chow over the top and mix briefly. Finally add the strawberry puree and whip until it is fully combined. The mixture will be soft but spoonable.
  • Top the crust and chocolate layer with a generous layer of strawberry mousse and return to the freezer to set. Freeze for about an hour until you can remove the muffin liners from the mini tarts to reveal the layers.
  • To serve, decorate with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, melted chocolate, or whipped cream.
  • Store extra tarts in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Keto Chow used regular almonds (unblanched) and they taste wonderful.
The power of your food processor will change the texture, and the color of your dried strawberries will change the color of the bottom layer.

Keto Chow Flavor: Root Beer Float
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 14 1-Ounce Pieces
Calories: 139.1kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Equipment

  • Candy Thermometer (optional)

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces butter unsalted
  • 4 ounces Erythritol-Stevia blend granulated sweetener
  • 2 fluid ounces heavy cream (1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 serving Root Beer Float Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 4 ounces pecan halves
  • 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with lightly oiled tin foil
  • Put the butter and granulated sweetener in a small, non-stick skillet or saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir gently until the butter and the sweetener melt. At first the butter and sweetener will separate but as they continue to cook they will begin to come together.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • As it continues to cook you will see many tiny bubbles breaking the surface the color will lighten and it will have an almost foamy look. You are essentially making a caramel.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Let it cook for about ten minutes. It should look lighter in color and thicker. If you have a candy thermometer, you want it to reach a temperature of about 240 degrees.
  • When it is ready, remove pan from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream a little at a time, and then the vanilla extract. Be careful! It may bubble up a lot when you add the liquid and it is very hot.
  • Bring it back to a boil and cook it for another two-three minutes until it looks thick again. Then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a minute.
  • When it has cooled, whisk in the Root Beer Float Keto Chow. It should pull together and start to look velvety and glossy as you stir the Keto Chow in.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Then stir in the pecans and sea salt, being sure to mix them well so they are evenly distributed.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Now working quickly, use two spoons to scoop and drop 14 rounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. They should look somewhat like cookie dough before baking.
  • Chill in a cool, dry place until firm, about one hour. They set up best if they can set slowly so don’t put them in the fridge or freezer if you can avoid it.
  • Once they are set, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for two months. If you store them in the freezer, allow them to return to room temperature before enjoying them.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines

Notes

NOTES: If not using a SMALL saucepan, watch carefully as the caramel will burn quickly, even on medium low heat. It is best to use a small saucepan, small burner, and candy thermometer. 
Use small spoons to scoop out to get 12-14 pieces.

  • Beat the melted white chocolate and butter into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  • Spread the mixture into oiled candy molds or ice cube trays making sure to press them firmly into all the edges, tapping them on the counter to settle them into the molds.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered erythritol sifted
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 tsp water add more as needed
  • food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • To make the royal icing, beat together erythritol, egg white, 1/2 tsp water, and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar in the work bowl of an electric mixer.
  • If the icing is too thick, add more water 1/2 tsp at a time, blending after each addition until it is pipeable but still quite thick.
  • It should be quite stiff. If you add too much water, you can add more erythritol a teaspoon at a time, but try to stay as close as possible to the original recipe so it will dry and hold together.

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Cook sausage in a large skillet, breaking up with a spoon. When it is fully cooked, leave the fat in the pan and add the poultry seasoning, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Blend the Keto Chow with the warm water and slowly add to the sausage in the pan.
  • Stir and gently scrape some of the cooked bits of sausage deliciousness off the bottom of the pan.
  • Mix in the heavy cream and warm through.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning according to personal preference.
  • Serve over keto biscuits or with a cheese and onion omelet.
