  • Add sour cream, lime juice and zest, Key Lime Keto Chow, and egg yolks to the whipped cream and mix until combined.
  • Pour the key lime filling into the baked pie crust, sprinkling on more zest if desired. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.

Creamy Key Lime-Coconut Popsicles

Creamy Key Lime-Coconut Popsicles

Coated in crispy, toasted coconut, these popsicles taste like summer on a stick!
Prep Time10 minutes
Freeze Time8 hours
Total Time8 hours 10 minutes
Course: Desserts
Keyword: Chef Taffiny Elrod, Key Lime
Servings: 8 popcicles
Calories: 284kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.66 ounce)
  • 1 6-ounce ripe, Haas avocado*
  • 1 large lime
  • 1 serving Key Lime Keto Chow

COATING

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil**
  • 1/2 cup toasted, unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Zest just the green rind of the lime and squeeze the juice into the blender.
  • Scoop the avocado flesh into the blender. Add the coconut milk and Keto Chow and blend until creamy and smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the popsicle molds and freeze overnight.
  • When the popsicles are frozen, line a tray with parchment paper or waxed paper and place it on an even surface in the freezer.
  • Place the toasted coconut in a small dish or tray.
  • Melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool to room temperature if it is too hot.
  • Remove the popsicles from their molds one at a time. If they won’t release from the mold run them under hot water for a couple seconds, repeating until they release. Working quickly, coat the popsicles with a layer of coconut oil and then sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Press the coconut gently to help it stick to the oil. If the coconut oil begins to firm while you are still coating the popsicles, melt it by placing the bowl in a dish of hot water.
  • Set the coated popsicles on the chilled tray. Once the coating is cold and firm, you can store the popsicles in an airtight container or in individual plastic bags in the freezer for up to three months.

Notes

*You can substitute other varieties of avocado, but the texture won’t be as creamy. 
**Use virgin coconut oil for full coconut flavor or refined coconut oil for a milder flavor.

Herbed Lamb Roast

Herbed Lamb Roast

This spring classic marinated in aromatic fresh herbs and garlic is easy to work with and ideal for smaller Easter gatherings.
Cook Time1 hour 30 minutes
Marinating Time1 day
Total Time1 day 1 hour 30 minutes
Course: Main Dish
Keyword: Beef Soup Base, Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 442.4kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

Lamb

  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. minced, fresh mint leaves (keep the stems)
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 2-3 lb. boneless leg of lamb roast, rolled and tied*
  • sprigs fresh rosemary
  • sprigs fresh thyme

Roast

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large stalk celery, chopped into large pieces
  • 1 medium parsnip, peeled and chopped into large pieces
  • 1 medium leek, cut in half lengthwised and cut into large pieces
  • 1 cup beef or chicken stock
  • 1 serving Beef Soup Base Keto Chow
  • 1-2 tsp. red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • To make the marinade, crush one clove of garlic and mix it with the olive oil, fresh mint leaves, lemon zest, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a small bowl.
  • Place the leg of lamb in a dish or container and rub the marinade all over, into the flesh as much as possible.
  • Cut the remaining three garlic cloves in half lengthwise.
  • Using a small paring knife make four to six holes in the roast, twisting the blade if necessary to make a hole large enough.
  • Place a piece of garlic, a sprig of thyme, a sprig of rosemary, and the stems from the mint leaves into the holes.
  • Cover the roast loosely and refrigerate 24-48 hours.
  • When you are ready to cook the roast preheat the oven to 425℉ and allow the roast to come to room temperature for approximately 20 minutes.
  • Oil the bottom of a roasting pan or large skillet with the olive oil and spread the celery, parsnips, and leek to catch the juices of the roasting lamb.
  • Place the lamb on a rack over the vegetables, or place it directly on the vegetables so that it isn’t touching the pan.
  • Place the roast in the oven and lower the temperature to 350℉. Cook for 80-90 minutes, or until the lamb reaches 130℉.
  • When it is cooked, place on a carving board, covered loosely with foil to rest for ten minutes.
  • While the lamb rests, make the sauce. Heat the skillet with the vegetables still in it over medium heat and add the stock, using a wooden spoon to scrape up flavor from the bottom of the pan. Press the vegetables to get any juices out of them as you stir.
  • Mix the Keto Chow into the sauce and allow it to thicken. Taste the sauce and add vinegar, salt, and pepper as needed.
  • Strain through a sieve into a gravy boat. Discard the solids.
  • Cut the string from the lamb roast. Remove any herb stems still in the roast, but leave the garlic. Slice the roast into portions and serve with warm gravy.

Notes

*If your lamb isn’t already rolled and tied, you can ask your butcher to do it for you. Or spread the marinade on the inside of the leg of lamb before you roll it and tie it with butcher’s twine yourself.
