Recipe Creator: Amanda Balle
Servings: 10 cookies
Calories: 3.5kcal
Author: Amanda

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/3 cup confections erythritol

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Using an electric/stand mixer, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks. Add in erythritol a little at a time while still whipping
  • Spoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and make a little indent in the middle of each one. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Let cool, they will harden as they cool. Use a metal knife or spatula under each one to remove from paper, be careful they are fragile.
  • You can store these at room temperature with a towel over them until you are ready to add the custard.
  • Keep the custard refrigerated until you are ready to eat cookies and pipe custard into each meringue cookie. Can also top with whipped cream if desired. 

Notes

****any little bit of yolk will keep your whites from getting to stiff peaks so be careful separating eggs.

Ingredients

Coating

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, water, erythritol, and vanilla. Stir intermittently until it boils.
  • Meanwhile, combine the Keto Chow and almond flour, mixing well until there are no clumps.
  • In a skillet, add enough avocado or coconut oil that it is 1/2 inch deep. Heat on medium.
  • Once the butter mixture is boiling, remove from heat and add in the dry mixture. Stir until well combined. It should form a ball of dough. Let cool for five minutes and then add the egg. Beat until the egg is completely incorporated.
  • Add mixture to a piping bag with a large star tip. A Wilton 1M tip works perfectly.
  • Mix together erythritol and cinnamon in a shallow pan or bowl. Set up an assembly line with your frying pan, paper towels, cinnamon mixture, and then a pan or a plate for your finished churros.
  • Once your oil is hot, start piping in 3-4 inch strings. You can use scissors to cut the batter. Don’t fry more than 3-4 churros at a time in your pan. Use tongs to flip once the top sides of the dough start to bubble and the bottom looks golden brown. Once flipped, it only takes a minute to finish cooking.
  • Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove your churros from the pan and put on paper towels to drain excess oil. Leave them on the paper towel to cool for several minutes (while you continue frying more churros), then place them in the cinnamon mixture and shake them around to coat.
  • Place your finished churros on a dish or platter and serve warm.

Cream Filling Ingredients

Instructions

The Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream together butter and sweetener.  Add egg and mix thoroughly.
  • Mix in the the black cocoa, baking powder, and Keto Chow, mixing very slow at first so as not to make a mess.
  • With a silicone spatula, scoop all the batter onto parchment paper and make a uniform shape with your hands; dough will be thick and sticky. Put parchment on top and roll out until it’s about 1/16 inch thick everywhere.
  • Leave parchment on top and chill in fridge for at least 1 hour, but preferably longer. The longer you chill it, the easier it will be to cut out.
  • Right out of the fridge, take off the top parchment paper and use a 2-inch round cutter and cut as many circle cookies as close together as you can. Place each cookie on parchment paper on a sheet pan. These do not spread much so you can put them close together if needed.
  • Work with dough right after taking it from the fridge otherwise it will start to stick. If dough sticks too much, cut all the circles and place dough in freezer for 20-30 minutes and then it should come off the parchment much easier. Please note that the dough will be too sticky if it is not chilled properly.
  • With the remaining dough, push into the cutter to create remaining cookies as best you can or you could make into cookie crumbles.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Add 2-5 minutes for high altitude. The cookie will firm as they cool.

The Filling

  • Cream together all ingredients. For double stuff style cookies, double the filling!
  • Pipe a circle of filling right in the middle of the cookie and leave room around the edge. Press another cookie on top.
  • Let the cookies set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. You don't have to do this but it sets the frosting so it doesn't all smoosh out when you bite it.

Notes

The thicker the cookie, the more time is needed to bake. For higher altitude, add 2-5 minutes for bake time.
Yield may vary.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Cream together butter and erythritol. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
  • Mix in the cocoa, baking powder, and Keto Chow.
  • With a silicone spatula, scoop all the batter onto parchment paper and make a uniform shape with your hands; the dough will be thick and sticky.
  • Put parchment on top and roll out until it’s 1/8 inch thick everywhere. Leave parchment on top and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
  • Once chilled, take off the top parchment and use a two inch round cutter to cut as many circles as close together as you can. You should be able to make between 20-24, rerolling once or twice as necessary. If the dough starts to get too sticky as you roll or cut it, let it chill in the fridge again.
  • Place each cookie on parchment on a sheet pan. These do not spread much so you can put them close together if needed.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. (Add 2-5 minutes for high altitude.) They will still be a little soft when they are done, but will firm as they cool.
  • Melt chocolate in 1/2 cup increments for 45 seconds and add in roughly 10-15 peppermint chips per 1/2 cup. (Or add in 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract/flavoring.)
  • Once cookies are completely cooled, dip into chocolate and place back on parchment. Put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

CAKE INGREDIENTS

PUDDING INGREDIENTS

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all of the cake ingredients with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into an 8x8 pan that has been lined with parchment paper and greased. Smooth batter to all edges and shake out air bubbles. Bake for 30 minutes or until done.
  • Place the cake in the freezer to cool completely. Roughly 30 minutes. While the cake cools, you can prepare the pudding filling.
  • Whip together softened cream cheese, softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, vanilla and Swerve until creamy and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, blend together 1 cup heavy cream, water and Keto Chow until thick and pudding like. Fold together cream cheese and Keto Chow pudding mixture. Place in the fridge.
  • Pull cake from the freezer and add to a food processor, pulse to break down into crumbles.
  • Layer cake crumbles and the pudding mixture in your favorite glass dish until nothing remains. It’s easiest to pipe in the pudding if you can. Refrigerate to let set overnight or preferably 24 hours. 

Notes

A 7 cup dish was used to make the trifle. Cronometer figured for 8 servings.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a bread pan with parchment paper, or prepare your silicone molds.
  • Add all ingredients into a saucepan on medium heat. Whisk continuously for 15 minutes. The mixture should begin to boil at 8-10 minutes and will start to thicken, but keep whisking. When it’s ready, it will be thick and shiny, and will pull away from the pan.
  • Add to your lined bread pan or silicone molds. It’s easiest to transfer it into the pan or molds with a Ziploc piping bag, but be sure to let the mixture cool for a bit first.
  • Put in the freezer for at least an hour or until set. If they do not pull away easily from the parchment paper, they need more time in the freezer.
  • Once set, cut into 16 squares to serve. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

You can cover these in chocolate once set!
