Equipment

  • food processor
  • cupcake liners or ramekins

Ingredients

CRUST

CHOCOLATE GANACHE LAYER

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5 ounces sugar free, semi-sweet chocolate cut in small pieces
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into cubes

STRAWBERRY MOUSSE LAYER

  • 6 ounces fresh strawberries washed & hulled
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 serving Strawberry Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)

Instructions

  • To make the crust, pulse the strawberries and almonds in the food processor until they are finely ground, then mix in the erythritol, butter, and salt. Blend until it’s all mixed.
  • Press the mixture into the bottoms of the eight liners or ramekins as evenly as possible They should be about 1/2 inch thick.
  • To make the ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until small bubbles start to break the surface and it's almost simmering. Take the cream off the heat and put all the chocolate into the cream. Let it sit for about a minute for the chocolate to soften. Then gently stir the mixture until it is glossy and all the chocolate is melted. Add the butter and stir gently until it has melted and is mixed in.
  • Pour a layer of ganache over each crust layer, then transfer them to the freezer to set while you make the strawberry mousse.
  • Puree the strawberries to a liquid and strain through a fine sieve. They should yield approximately 1/2 cup of strawberry puree.
  • Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks begin to form, then sprinkle the Keto Chow over the top and mix briefly. Finally add the strawberry puree and whip until it is fully combined. The mixture will be soft but spoonable.
  • Top the crust and chocolate layer with a generous layer of strawberry mousse and return to the freezer to set. Freeze for about an hour until you can remove the muffin liners from the mini tarts to reveal the layers.
  • To serve, decorate with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, melted chocolate, or whipped cream.
  • Store extra tarts in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Keto Chow used regular almonds (unblanched) and they taste wonderful.
The power of your food processor will change the texture, and the color of your dried strawberries will change the color of the bottom layer.

Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 14 1-Ounce Pieces
Calories: 139.1kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Equipment

  • Candy Thermometer (optional)

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces butter unsalted
  • 4 ounces Erythritol-Stevia blend granulated sweetener
  • 2 fluid ounces heavy cream (1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 serving Root Beer Float Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 4 ounces pecan halves
  • 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with lightly oiled tin foil
  • Put the butter and granulated sweetener in a small, non-stick skillet or saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir gently until the butter and the sweetener melt. At first the butter and sweetener will separate but as they continue to cook they will begin to come together.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • As it continues to cook you will see many tiny bubbles breaking the surface the color will lighten and it will have an almost foamy look. You are essentially making a caramel.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Let it cook for about ten minutes. It should look lighter in color and thicker. If you have a candy thermometer, you want it to reach a temperature of about 240 degrees.
  • When it is ready, remove pan from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream a little at a time, and then the vanilla extract. Be careful! It may bubble up a lot when you add the liquid and it is very hot.
  • Bring it back to a boil and cook it for another two-three minutes until it looks thick again. Then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a minute.
  • When it has cooled, whisk in the Root Beer Float Keto Chow. It should pull together and start to look velvety and glossy as you stir the Keto Chow in.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Then stir in the pecans and sea salt, being sure to mix them well so they are evenly distributed.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines
  • Now working quickly, use two spoons to scoop and drop 14 rounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. They should look somewhat like cookie dough before baking.
  • Chill in a cool, dry place until firm, about one hour. They set up best if they can set slowly so don’t put them in the fridge or freezer if you can avoid it.
  • Once they are set, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for two months. If you store them in the freezer, allow them to return to room temperature before enjoying them.
    Root Beer Pecan Pralines

Notes

NOTES: If not using a SMALL saucepan, watch carefully as the caramel will burn quickly, even on medium low heat. It is best to use a small saucepan, small burner, and candy thermometer. 
Use small spoons to scoop out to get 12-14 pieces.

Instructions

  • To make the royal icing, beat together erythritol, egg white, 1/2 tsp water, and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar in the work bowl of an electric mixer.
  • If the icing is too thick, add more water 1/2 tsp at a time, blending after each addition until it is pipeable but still quite thick.

Eggnog Gingerbread House

A real gingerbread house that tastes great, smells like Christmas at Grandma's house, and holds together beautifully. All without flour, sugar, or gluten!
When I realized this dough would hold up to building a gingerbread house, I was so excited. It works beautifully, tastes like a good old-fashioned gingerbread, and will make your kitchen smell magical.

Servings: 1 gingerbread house and decorations
Calories: 109.93kcal

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Cookie cutters or patterns to cut out the shapes for the house and any decorations
  • Rolling pin
  • Cookie sheets
  • Cardboard or cake board for the base of the house
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag

Ingredients

The Gingerbread House

Royal Icing for Assembly

  • 1 cup sifted powdered erythritol
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 tsp water, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • food coloring if desired

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Line cookie sheets with lightly oiled tin foil or parchment paper
  • Whisk together the Keto Chow, coconut flour, spices, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Place the butter in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it is light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the sweetener.
  • When the sweetener is completely mixed with the butter, add the egg and the vanilla extract.
  • Beat the mixture until the eggs are completely mixed with the butter and sweetener. The mixture will look grainy and separated.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients to the bowl and blend. When that is fully combined, add the rest of the dry ingredients.
  • Beat on low speed until it is completely combined and creates a stiff dough. It should start to come together into a ball.
  • To make cut-out cookies, chill the dough for approximately 15 minutes. Then, working with 1/3 of the dough at a time, roll it out between two sheets of oiled parchment paper to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut it into pieces for your house.
  • For my house, I cut two end panels with door and window openings, two side panels, and two roof panels, plus gingerbread people, a snowman, and various shapes to decorate the house.
  • Place the cut pieces on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for about 20 minutes until the pieces start to look brown and feel firm to the touch. They will still be slightly soft to the touch in the center but will firm up as they cool.
  • Continue until you have made all the pieces you need. You can reroll the dough more than once. If it gets too soft, just return it to the fridge for a few minutes.
  • Allow the baked cookies to cool completely before assembling the house.

Icing and Assembly

  • To make the royal icing, beat together erythritol, egg white, 1/2 tsp water, and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar in the work bowl of an electric mixer. If the icing is too thick, add more water 1/2 tsp at a time, blending after each addition until it is pipeable but still quite thick. It should be quite stiff. If you add too much water, you can add more erythritol a teaspoon at a time, but try to stay as close as possible to the original recipe so it will dry and hold together.
  • To assemble your gingerbread house, first check the edges of your wall and roof pieces and be sure they are straight and even. If they aren't, you can even them by filing them with a micro plane zester of a small knife until they all match up to each other and are flat.
  • Cut a small hole into the tip of a disposable icing bag or fit an icing bag with a small round tip. Fill the bag about 1/3 full with icing.
  • Starting with the back wall of your house, pipe a generous line of icing along the bottom edge of the wall and place it on your cardboard or cake board. You can use a can or jar to prop it up while you pipe icing along the edge and the bottom of one of the side walls and connect it with the back wall. Continue building the walls of the house like this until you have all four in place.
  • Allow the icing on the walls to set and dry for at least half an hour until they are sturdy enough to hold the roof pieces. Then pipe icing onto the roof pieces where they will connect with the walls and where they meet at the peak.
  • Refrigerate your remaining icing tightly covered while you wait for the house to set.
  • When the house is set, decorate however you wish. Color the icing with different colors, decorate with sugar-free chocolates, sprinkles, and candies. Use your favorite molds to make chocolate shapes. Let your imagination and creativity run wild and have fun.
  • Once the house has dried and everything is set, store in a cool, dry place, loosely covered with plastic wrap so it doesn't get dusty when it isn't on display.
  • If properly stored, it should be edible for up to a week. If you don't want to eat it, it should be in good condition for display for up to a month.
