Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Side Dish, Snacks
Keyword: Chef Taffiny Elrod, Salted Caramel
Servings: 2 Tbsp. (1 fl. oz.)
Calories: 149.4kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream*
  • 2 Tbsp. yacon syrup **
  • 1 serving Salted Caramel Keto Chow
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • Coarse sea salt for serving

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat for about five minutes, or until it begins to smell toasted, and the butter solids start to look golden.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for five minutes. Then stir in the heavy cream and yacon syrup.
  • Sprinkle the Keto Chow over the mixture and whisk until completely incorporated.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Serve the sauce warm with a sprinkling of coarse sea salt.

**If needed, substitute with another sugar-free syrup, or simply omit. This syrup does add 22 net carbs, unfortunately, so if this is a concern, we recommend omitting it altogether. The nutrition information listed includes the yacon syrup.

Guava Grapefruit Madeleines

Guava Grapefruit Madeleines

My take on these famous French cakes stay perfectly light and tender, with a hint of guava and grapefruit.
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time12 minutes
Total Time32 minutes
Course: Desserts
Keyword: Chef Taffiny Elrod, Guava Grapefruit
Servings: 1 madeleines
Author: Lori Allred

Equipment

  • Metal full sized madeleine pan*

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter extra for greasing the molds
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol
  • 2 1/2 tsp. grated grapefruit zest divided
  • 1/2 cup sifted, fine almond flour (1.5 oz.)
  • 1 serving Guava Grapefruit Keto Chow
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • pink food coloring

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, erythritol, and two tsp. of the grapefruit zest with an electric mixer (or ideally a stand mixer) until they are light, frothy, and at least doubled in volume. The whipped eggs should be the color of butter and the consistency of slightly whipped heavy cream. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the almond flour, Keto Chow, and baking powder and set aside.
  • When the eggs and erythritol are fully whipped, add the dry ingredients and gently fold in with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
  • Add the melted butter and gently fold into the mixture.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 10-20 minutes. While it rests, preheat the oven to 325℉.
  • Brush a thin layer of softened butter inside the madeleine molds.
  • Use a small (.75 oz, #40) cookie scoop to fill each mold with about 1 1/2 Tbsp. batter. It’s okay if the batter sits in the middle of the molds; it will spread to fill them when it bakes.
  • Place the filled tray in the center rack of the oven and bake for about 12-15, or until the cakes are golden around the edges and spring back when touched lightly in the center.
  • Madeleines can be enjoyed warm or cooled completely and dipped in white chocolate. To decorate with white chocolate, melt the chocolate and stir in a drop or two of pink food coloring.
  • Dip one edge of each madeleine into the melted chocolate and place on a rack to set. Sprinkle with extra grapefruit zest if desired.
  • Madeleines are best eaten within a day or two but can be stored tightly wrapped in the freezer up to three months.

Notes

*Using a silicone madeleine pan will not allow the batter to cook evenly.
