Ingredients

BASIL BROWN BUTTER (per one serving of gnocchi)

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • In a microwaveable bowl mix together the cheeses and Keto Chow with your hands until the Keto Chow is evenly distributed in the cheese.
  • Microwave for 1 minute, stir, microwave for another 15-30 seconds. If cheese is not melted keep stirring and adding time in 15 second increments.
  • Add almond flour and mix a little and then add egg.
  • You may have to use your hands after a minute to knead everything together. Split dough into two balls.
  • Take each one and make a rope with it by stretching and rolling on wax paper or plastic wrap (wax paper is easier) once it is uniform and about 11 inches long roll it into the wax paper and place in fridge for at least an hour.
  • Unwrap dough and slice every ½-1 inch. You can add little grooves with a fork or the inside of an egg slicer works great too.

BASIL BROWN BUTTER

  • Warm  a non stick skillet over low medium heat. Add butter and let it heat for a couple minutes. Add basil.
  • Add prepared gnocchi and baste and flip as they brown. Be very careful as they are fragile.
  • Once all sides are brown and crisp add to plate and drizzle butter over gnocchi.
  • Can use basil as garnish. Repeat for second serving.

Notes

Other cooking options:
You can fry these in a greased non stick pan on low medium heat, one serving at a time. Make sure to be careful, they are fragile. Flip with a spoon or spatula to get each side fried evenly. Once done add your favorite sauce or broth. 
 
You can also boil these for a few minutes and add to your favorite broth, soup or sauce

Keto Chow Flavor: Creamy Tomato Basil
Recipe Creator: Amanda Balle, Sarah DeYoung
Servings: 4 pinwheels
Calories: 390.9kcal
Author: Amanda

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 serving Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 1 tsp glucomannan powder
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cold
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 oz pepperoni
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • fresh basil as desired
  • tomato sauce, marinara for dipping

Instructions

  • Put almond flour, keto chow, and glucomannan powder in a food processor and pulse a few times to mix. Add cream cheese and butter and blend until it creates a dough ball. This should be less than 1 minute.
  • Place dough onto a piece of parchment and put a piece of wax paper on top and roll out into a rectangle. You can use parchment on top but wax paper is see through. Remove top paper once dough is rolled out evenly to an 8x10 rectangle.
  • Add 8 oz of pepperoni over the dough, leaving a ½” edge of dough uncovered on the 10” side. Add cheese on top of pepperoni. Top cheese with fresh basil.
  • Using the parchment paper, roll the dough long ways towards the ½” of uncovered dough. Keep using parchment to roll and pull away as you go so it doesn’t peel or crack the dough.
  • Slice into 16 pieces and place into silicone baking cups or silicone cupcake pan. The dough is sticky but easy to reroll your pieces after slicing into tighter circles.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
  • Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

This dough is great to make calzones, savory pies or even crispy biscuits.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a food processor, pulse pecans and walnuts until they are still a little chunky.
  • Add erythritol, Keto Chow, and cinnamon and pulse again.
  • Take the blade out of the bowl and add in the rest of the ingredients and mix together with a fork.
  • Dump mixture onto a 9x13 pan or baking dish and mix together again with your hands. Press into the pan evenly. It helps to put wax paper over the top so it doesn’t stick to your hands.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
  • Let cool completely, it will harden more as it cools. Once it’s completely cooled, break it up with metal spatula or hands. If it’s still too soft after breaking up you can put it back in the oven for extra time. Remember not to bake it too long as it will crisp up more as it cools.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, stir together all ingredients in a medium saucepan.
  • Stir continuously for 15 minutes.
  • When it’s close to finishing, it will get shiny and be a dark root beer color. It’s best to use a candy thermometer and look for when it reaches 300 degrees. That will give it a hard crack consistency.
  • Pour into silicone molds and put in the fridge until set. Do not touch liquid and be very careful as it is extremely hot!

Ingredients

FROSTING

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper. Leave two of the sides long and allow them to hang over for easy removal.
  • Pulse the pistachios into fine crumbs with a food processor, spice grinder, or blender.
  • With an electric mixer, cream together the butter,* sweetener, eggs, and extracts on medium speed. Add in baking powder, Keto Chow, and the pistachio crumbs; mix on medium spend until everything is fully incorporated.
  • Add the batter to your prepared pan. It will be thick, but spread it to the sides the best you can. Bake for approximately 25 minutes.
  • To make the frosting, cream together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and almond extract on medium speed. Once it’s nice and creamy add in the confectioner’s erythritol and start beating on low and then on medium speed until thoroughly mixed.
  • Spread frosting on cooked bars.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

*For high altitude bakers: melt the butter before adding to the mixing bowl, add 1.5 Tbsp. water to batter, and bake for 3-5 minutes extra.
Please note: The nutrition info uses Lemon Meringue Keto Chow.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soak pistachios in water for 20 minutes.
  • Combine butter, sweetener and egg with mixer on low speed. Add keto chow and almond flour and mix until well combined.
  • Blot dry pistachios with a paper towel and add into batter. Mix thoroughly.
  • Scoop onto plastic wrap and form into a cylinder with your hands and the wrap. Finish wrapping and refrigerate for at least two hours or even overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove plastic wrap and slice into 16 by cutting in half and those halves in half again until you have 16 slices. Place sliced cookies onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • You can leave as is or if you want to get fancy you can dip the ends in chocolate and add crushed pistachios or coarse sea salt.*

Notes

*For some festive Halloween fun, turn these cookies into little Frankensteins! Once the cookies are cooled, melt dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between so it doesn't seize. Place in a piping bag and decorate with hair, facial features, and stitches as desired. White chocolate may be used with the same melting method to add other details.

For some festive Halloween fun, turn these cookies into little Frankensteins! Once the cookies are cooled, melt dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between so it doesn’t seize. Place in a piping bag and decorate with hair, facial features, and stitches as desired. White chocolate may be used with the same melting method to add other details.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • With an electric or stand mixer on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
  • Add in the confectioners sweetener and keto chow and then fold mixture with spoon or rubber spatula until it’s nice and creamy. It will limp together at first, just keep stirring. It will reduce down a lot by folding which is ok.
  • Add to piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool for at least 30 minutes. They will harden as they cool.

Higher Altitude Instructions:

  • With an electric or stand mixer with whisk attachment on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
  • While the mixer is still whipping on high, add in the confectioners sweetener a little bit at a time and mix thoroughly between additions. Using the same method, add keto chow a bit at a time. The mixture will reduce down some, but let it keep whipping on high until fully mixed. Make sure to continue whipping while adding sweetener and keto chow. Only stop to scrape the sides once or twice.
  • Add to a piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown and puffed.
  • For a crisper cookie, lightly oil a foil lined cookie sheet and pipe cookies onto the foil.
