Orange Cream & Cranberry Pie

Creamy orange filling with just a hint of ginger, topped with tangy cranberry sauce, this no bake pie may be my new favorite holiday dessert.  It’s just as good without a crust, try layering it in decorative dishes for easy serving.

Chocolate Rum Balls

These are an indulgent treat for the holidays or anytime. They can be made with other flavors as well. Try mint, orange, cherry or amaretto extract in place of the rum extract. And of course, you can replace the heavy cream and rum extract with real rum for the genuine article.

Keyword: Chef Taffiny Elrod, Chocolate
Keto Chow Flavor: Chocolate
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 18 rum balls
Calories: 72.3kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup (3 ounces) sugar-free, dark chocolate chips
  • 2 ounces unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sweetener, plus more for frosting
  • 1 serving Chocolate Keto Chow
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Instructions

  • In a food processor or blender grind the walnuts to a fine texture.
  • Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring afterward until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the walnuts, keto chow, and powdered sweetener.
  • Mix the melted chocolate and butter into the dry ingredients, stir in the heavy cream and rum extract, and mix well.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
  • When the mix has chilled, scoop approximately a tablespoon -  a small cookie dough scoop works well for this - and shape into a ball. The texture should be like playdough. If they are too soft, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes. If they are too dry and crumbly, warm them in your hand a bit as you shape them, they should soften and come together.
  • Roll the balls in more powdered sweetener to coat and place them in a container to chill overnight in the refrigerator. The flavors will develop and marry as they chill.
  • You can also roll them in cocoa powder, ground nuts or desiccated coconut. If you want to dip them in melted chocolate, chill them for at least 30 minutes after you roll them.

Vanilla Pizzelle

START COOKING
pizelles-22
Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Vanilla Pizzelle

Pizzelle are a classic Italian cookie, often made for Christmas. They are made on a pizzelle iron which is like a waffle iron and gives them their decorative shape. The lemon flavor is bright and delightful in these pizzelle, but you can substitute anise extract for a more traditional Italian flavor. They are also wonderful made with lemon meringue keto chow for full lemon flavor.

Calories: 47.3kcal

Equipment

  • Pizzelle Iron

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Beat eggs for at least three minutes, or until they are light, fluffy, and doubled in volume. This gives the pizzelle a light texture and makes the batter much easier to work with.
  • Gradually beat in erythritol on low speed, then beat in oil, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the Keto Chow and salt.
  • Let the batter rest while you heat your pizzelle iron.
  • When your iron is heated, drop about a Tbsp.-size ball of dough onto your iron. For best results, drop it slightly nearer the back of the iron because it will be pushed toward the front as you close it.
  • Cook according to the manufacturer’s directions. When the pizzelle is done, it should be lightly golden, but not brown. Depending on the iron, this could take 20 seconds to 2 minutes.
  • Gently remove the cooked pizzelle from the iron with a small spatula. It will be very soft, but it will crisp as it cools. Lay the cooked pizzelles in a single layer on a rack to cool. Use a pair of kitchen shears to trim the edges, if desired. While they are still warm, they can be shaped by draping over a small cup or wrapping them around a cannoli form.
  • When they are cool, stack them in a box or tin that isn’t completely airtight (so they stay crisp). If needed, they can be re-crisped at a low temperature in the oven.
  • Dust with powdered sweetener for a decorative touch.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the sesame seeds in a small pie plate or shallow bowl.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Keto Chow, baking powder, and sea salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sesame tahini and sugar-free syrup. Mix in the egg.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
  • Scoop about two Tbsp. of dough (a #40 ice cream scoop works perfectly) and roll it into a ball.
  • Roll the ball of dough in the sesame seed dish to coat it. Set it on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.
  • Continue with the rest of the dough, spacing the balls at least an inch apart on the cookie sheets.
  • Bake for ten minutes, or until they are slightly puffed and golden on the bottom. Transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

*Mix well before measuring if the oil has separated.

For the Glaze

Instructions

  • Butter an 8 x 4 inch glass loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a small bowl stir together the cinnamon and two tablespoons of the erythritol and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the remaining half cup erythritol, almond flour, coconut flour, keto chow, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, almond milk, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together.
  • Spread half the batter into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle half the cinnamon-erythritol mix over the batter in the pan, then sprinkle half of the almonds over that. Cover with the remainder of the batter, smoothing it into place.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-erythritol blend and almonds over the top of the cake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • To make the glaze mix the powdered erythritol, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until there are no lumps.
  • While the cake is still warm spread the glaze over the top allowing it to drizzle down the edges of the cake. The glaze will set as the cake continues to cool.
  • Slice and serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite hot drink.

Ingredients

Allulose Caramel Sauce

  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) butter
  • 3/4 cup (5 ounces) granulated allulose
  • 1/4 cup (2 fluid ounces) heavy cream

Chayote "Apple"

Apple Spice Cream Cheese Frosting

Apple Spice Cupcakes

Instructions

Allulose Caramel Sauce

  • Place the butter and the allulose in a non-stick skillet or small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook stirring occasionally until they melt together and begin to turn golden. Cook until it is golden brown and looks smooth and glossy.
  • While that is cooking bring the heavy cream to a simmer in another pan and set aside. When the caramel is golden-brown and smooth remove it from the heat and very carefully stir in the warm cream a little at a time.
  • When all the cream is mixed in place it back over the heat and cook for about another five minutes.
  • Allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a container. It will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Chayote "Apple"

  • Peel the chayote, remove the pit, and cut into small dice.
  • Toss the chayote with the sweetener, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, rotating the tray and stirring the chayote halfway through cooking, until the pieces are starting to get tender.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. This should yield about 1/2 cup cooked chayote.

Apple Spice Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Whip the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until it is soft and looks whipped.
  • Add the heavy cream, keto chow, cinnamon and vanilla and beat until everything is thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • With the mixer running on low speed add the butter a couple chunks at a time and whip it until it is light, fluffy and has increased in volume.
  • Stop the mixer and add the powdered erythritol, start beating on the lowest speed, then increase speed, and whip until all the powdered swerve is combined and the frosting is light and creamy.
  • Cover and chill.

Apple Spice Cupcakes

  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners
  • Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 F
  • Whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, keto chow, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside
  • In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter with the swerve until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time beating after each addition.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix them on low speed.
  • Add the almond milk and vanilla and mix them in, then raise the speed to medium and mix until everything is fully combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Fold the prepared chayote squash and scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cupcakes are brown around the edges and set in the middle 25-30 minutes. They will fall slightly in the center.

Assemble the cupcakes:

  • Pipe the cream cheese frosting in a circle on the cupcake, building it up slightly higher around the edges to create a slight well in the center to hold the caramel sauce. If the caramel sauce is too thick to work with, it can be heated for a few seconds in the microwave or by placing the container into a bowl of warm water until it is soft enough to flow. Spoon or pipe it into the well in the center of each frosted cupcake.
  • The frosting and caramel will set as they chill.
  • The frosted cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl cream butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer, whipping until light and fluffy.
  • Add the granulated and brown erythritols and beat until well combined, add the vanilla extract and mix, then add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, scraping down the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix until a slightly sticky dough has formed. Cover with plastic and chill for approximately 1 hour.
  • When ready to make the cookies preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix three tablespoons erythritol with apple pie spice and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Scoop approximately two tablespoons of dough – I used a #40 ice cream scoop - and roll into a ball, then place it in the erythritol-spice mixture and roll to coat well.
  • Place on a prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly, continue with the rest of the dough placing eight cookies on each tray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven 13-15 minutes until the edges are firm and the tops are slightly puffed.
  • Allow the cookies to cool at least ten minutes before removing them from the tray. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to three days.
