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.

Keto Chow Flavor: Lemon Meringue

Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod

Servings: 1/2 cup servings

Calories: 266.3kcal

Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

2 egg whites
2 Tbsp. powdered erythritol, divided
1 cup heavy cream
1 serving Lemon Meringue Keto Chow
1/2 cup unsweetened macadamia milk or almond milk
zest and juice of 1 lemon or 1/2 tsp. lemon extract
1 cup mixed berries, washed and dried, plus extra for garnish
fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Beat egg whites with one Tbsp. erythritol with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with remaining Tbsp. erythritol until soft peaks form. Set aside 4 Tbsp. of this whipped cream to decorate the finished mousse cups.
In another large mixing bowl, mix the Keto Chow into the milk, then mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Fold 1/3 of the remaining whipped cream into the Keto Chow mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the rest of the whipped cream.
Fold in the egg whites in two parts. The mousse should be light and fluffy. It’s okay if you still see white streaks.
Place a quarter of the berries into each serving dish and add the lemon mousse. Top each one with the reserved whipped cream.
Garnish with berries and mint leaves if desired.
Cover loosely, and chill at least one hour for best flavor and texture.
These will keep tightly covered in the fridge for up to three days but are at their best within 24 hours.

Servings: 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.

Calories: 117.7kcal

Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

1/3 cup psyllium husk powder (1.75 oz.)
1/3 cup coconut flour (1.25 oz.)
1 serving Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 large egg whites
1 Tbsp. avocado oil
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 cup boiled water
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using an electric mixer, combine psyllium powder, coconut flour, Keto Chow, baking soda, and baking powder.
Add the egg whites, oil, and vinegar and mix on low speed until combined.
Carefully pour in the hot water with the mixer off, then mix again on low speed.
When the water has been incorporated, mix on medium speed until a soft dough forms.
Divide dough into six pieces and shape into balls.
Mix the egg yolk with a teaspoon of water and brush the egg wash over each roll.
Place on the baking sheet, pat down lightly, and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven 30-40 minutes, or until they are brown, puffed, and round. They should sound slightly hollow when tapped on the bottom, and should hold their shape when gently touched.
Cool for ten minutes, then transfer to a basket lined with a clean cloth or napkin to keep warm.
The rolls will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months.

Snow Peas with Green Onion and Mint

These beautifully bright flavors and textures are inspired by the traditional dish of sweet peas and pearl onions.

Ingredients

1 lb. snow peas
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. olive oil or avocado oil
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Loose handful fresh mint leaves, minced
zest and juice of one lemon

Instructions

Fill a large pot with two to three inches of water; cover and bring to a boil while you prepare the snow peas.
Snap one end of each pea and pull the string off with the end.
Add the salt to the water and add the snow peas. Return the pot to a boil and cook the peas for one to two minutes–just until they are bright green but still snap when you break one in half. They should be tender-crisp.
Drain the snow peas and transfer them to a large bowl, toss them with the oil, sliced onion, mint, lemon zest and juice.
Serve immediately.*

Notes

*If you’d like to prepare this dish in advance, cool the peas in ice water immediately after blanching them. Toss them with the oil, onion, mint and lemon zest but reserve the lemon juice until just before serving to keep the color bright green. Reheat them or serve cold.

Ingredients

Dressing

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 serving Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow
1/3 cup water
1 juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp. granulated allulose
1/2 tsp. salt
Loose handful of basil leaves, torn into ribbons

Salad

6 quail eggs*
6 cups spring mix or other fresh lettuce washed and dried
4 radishes, thinly sliced**
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 ripe avocado, sliced
Small bunch fresh chives, minced***
Petals from edible flowers like pansies, or nasturtiums

Instructions

To make the dressing, combine the mayonnaise and olive oil in a large mixing bowl, then add the Keto Chow, water, lemon juice, allulose, and salt. Whisk everything together well, then stir in the basil leaves.
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Stir again before serving.
To make the salad, prepare a bowl of ice water. Then, bring a small pot of water to a boil and carefully add the quail eggs. Cover and boil for three minutes.
Drain and place the eggs directly into the ice water. Let them chill for three to five minutes.
Peel the eggs by pinching at the large end to get started easily; there should be an air gap there. One peeled, rinse to remove any remaining shell.
Arrange the lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, and avocado in a large salad bowl or platter.
Garnish with minced scallions and flower petals. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and gently place them around the salad. Serve with the dressing.
The salad will keep without salad dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

*If you can’t or prefer not to quail eggs, use two hen’s eggs, hard boiled and sliced into circles.

**Heirloom radishes like watermelon radishes or French butter radishes will make the colors extra bright and fun.

***Add any other herbs you enjoy. Chervil, basil, parsley, and dill are all great options.
