Chocolate Rum Balls

These are an indulgent treat for the holidays or anytime. They can be made with other flavors as well. Try mint, orange, cherry or amaretto extract in place of the rum extract. And of course, you can replace the heavy cream and rum extract with real rum for the genuine article.

Servings: 18 rum balls
Calories: 72.3kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup (3 ounces) sugar-free, dark chocolate chips
  • 2 ounces unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sweetener, plus more for frosting
  • 1 serving Chocolate Keto Chow
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Instructions

  • In a food processor or blender grind the walnuts to a fine texture.
  • Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring afterward until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the walnuts, keto chow, and powdered sweetener.
  • Mix the melted chocolate and butter into the dry ingredients, stir in the heavy cream and rum extract, and mix well.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
  • When the mix has chilled, scoop approximately a tablespoon -  a small cookie dough scoop works well for this - and shape into a ball. The texture should be like playdough. If they are too soft, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes. If they are too dry and crumbly, warm them in your hand a bit as you shape them, they should soften and come together.
  • Roll the balls in more powdered sweetener to coat and place them in a container to chill overnight in the refrigerator. The flavors will develop and marry as they chill.
  • You can also roll them in cocoa powder, ground nuts or desiccated coconut. If you want to dip them in melted chocolate, chill them for at least 30 minutes after you roll them.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the sesame seeds in a small pie plate or shallow bowl.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Keto Chow, baking powder, and sea salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sesame tahini and sugar-free syrup. Mix in the egg.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
  • Scoop about two Tbsp. of dough (a #40 ice cream scoop works perfectly) and roll it into a ball.
  • Roll the ball of dough in the sesame seed dish to coat it. Set it on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.
  • Continue with the rest of the dough, spacing the balls at least an inch apart on the cookie sheets.
  • Bake for ten minutes, or until they are slightly puffed and golden on the bottom. Transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

*Mix well before measuring if the oil has separated.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl cream butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer, whipping until light and fluffy.
  • Add the granulated and brown erythritols and beat until well combined, add the vanilla extract and mix, then add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, scraping down the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix until a slightly sticky dough has formed. Cover with plastic and chill for approximately 1 hour.
  • When ready to make the cookies preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix three tablespoons erythritol with apple pie spice and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Scoop approximately two tablespoons of dough – I used a #40 ice cream scoop - and roll into a ball, then place it in the erythritol-spice mixture and roll to coat well.
  • Place on a prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly, continue with the rest of the dough placing eight cookies on each tray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven 13-15 minutes until the edges are firm and the tops are slightly puffed.
  • Allow the cookies to cool at least ten minutes before removing them from the tray. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to three days.

Keto Chow Turkey Tamales

These aren’t the most traditional tamales, but they are delicious and fun to make with friends and family for a festive holiday meal. They are a great way to use leftover turkey, too. If you don’t have extra turkey, you can use rotisserie chicken or roast pork instead.

Keto Chow Flavor: Savory Chicken Soup
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 24 tamales
Calories: 135.6kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 25-30 dried corn husks cleaned & soaked until flexible
  • 2 cups prepared salsa verde
  • 1 pound cooked turkey shredded
  • 15 ounces canned baby corn
  • 2 cups Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour (1 ounce)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup lard, tallow or coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp corn extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup reserved corn liquid or chicken broth

Instructions

  • Mix the shredded turkey with the salsa verde and set aside.
  • Drain the baby corn, reserving the liquid. In a food processor or blender, puree the baby corn until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of the reserved liquid if necessary.
  • In a large mixing bowl, blend the Keto Chow, coconut flour, and baking powder.
  • Add the lard, pureed baby corn, and the corn extract (if using), to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed until a soft dough has formed and it has increased in volume. If it’s too thick, add more corn liquid or chicken broth one tablespoon at a time until it’s the consistency of smooth peanut butter.
  • Drain the corn husks and, working one husk at a time, spread a thin layer of the dough over the center of the husk. Nearer the large end, leave about an inch uncovered on either side of the dough, then spread a spoonful of filling over the center of the dough. *A #40 cookie scoop or approximately 1.5 tablespoons per corn husk made exactly 24 tamales; 2-3 tablespoons of meat per tamale.
  • Fold one side of the husk and then the other so they overlap, bend the empty part of the husk up to close one side of the tamale.
  • Prepare a large pot with a steamer rack and fill the bottom with water. Stand the tamales up in the streamer rack, placing a small upturned bowl, or bundle of tin foil in the center to steady the tamales if needed. Cover the tamales with any extra corn husks to keep the steam from getting into them.
  • Steam the tamales for 20-30 minutes until they are firm enough for the husk to pull away from the dough easily.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Whip the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until it is soft.
  • Add the Keto Chow, olive oil, and rosemary; beat until combined.
  • Add the coconut flour and cheese; beat until it starts to come together into a dough.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat again. It should form a stiff, slightly tacky dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Divide the dough in two and shape each half into a rectangular block.
  • Place one half of the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll the dough out into a large rectangle 1/8 inch thick. It doesn’t have to be perfect! You can trim the edges and use the trimmed pieces to repair any parts that are too thin.
  • Remove the parchment paper from the top. Use a large knife, pastry cutter, or pizza cutter to score the dough into 1 1/2" squares (or any shape you prefer).
  • Transfer the dough, still on the parchment paper to a large baking sheet. Use a fork to prick the center of each cracker to help them crisp while baking.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  • Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 20 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through baking. When the crackers are done, they will be brown around the outer edges and on the bottoms and just starting to brown lightly on the tops. If the crackers aren’t lightly browned, they won’t be crispy when they cool.
  • Transfer them to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before breaking them apart along the scoring.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to three days. Store in the freezer for up to three months.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together the keto chow, almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine, stir in the almonds.
  • Shape the dough into a loaf approximately 8 inches long and 5 inches wide.
  • Place the loaf on the prepared tray and bake until golden around the edges and firm to the touch, but still slightly soft in the center, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool until firm enough to slice, about 15 minutes. If it begins to crumble when you slice it, allow it to cool a few more minutes.
  • Slice into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
  • Lower oven temperature to 250F
  • Arrange the sliced cookies on the cookie sheet and return to the oven to bake again until they are dry and crisp, about another 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool completely, they will continue to crisp as they cool.
  • When they are completely cool, melt the white chocolate and dip one side of the biscotti in the chocolate, then decorate with sprinkles and nuts, place  in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Savor Every Bite

This year, the holidays give us special reason to reflect on what matters most to us and the importance of those we love. Our Thanksgiving will probably look different this year and that is okay. This month, I shared my advice for prepping like a chef, and planning for the day after the big day. Now I just want to share a simple thought: As the holiday approaches, take this time to savor every single bite. 

Savor every moment you have with friends or family. Savor every bite of the meal you will enjoy. Savor the small moments that might have gone unnoticed. Wherever you are, and whomever you share your day with, in person or remotely, this is the time to pause and reflect on the blessings of daily life that we may have taken for granted before. Take a moment to consider all the people you will never meet who have contributed to your meal and your wellbeing in a million ways. I know I am deeply thankful this year for the basics, like being reunited with family and having food on the table. 

This Thanksgiving, let us set a table with intention, set a place for gratitude, and invite the spirit of those we love and those we miss to dine with us. We can greet the holiday season and the dawning of a new year with a grateful heart. We already know it won’t be the same as usual. We know it may be hard. But no matter how plentiful or humble our meals and gatherings will be, we can appreciate them for what they are and take the time to savor every bite. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

More Holiday Meal Tips: Prep for the Day After the Big Day

Even if your holiday plans are smaller than usual this year, planning for the day after the holiday meal can help make the occasion more enjoyable and relaxing. 

Here are ten tips for preparing for the day after the big day.

1. Make sure you don’t have to cook another big meal unless you want to! Turn on the crockpot first thing in the morning, fill it with leftover turkey and vegetables for a stew that’s ready whenever you are. Plan a pizza party; purchase premade cauliflower pizza crusts and use extra cheese, meats, and vegetables for everyone to make their own combination. 

Order Take Out after Thanksgiving2. Support a local business by ordering take-out. A cold cut platter, sashimi, holiday baked goods, or barbecue can be ordered in advance and are a great way to support small businesses this year.

3. Plan a self-serve brunch. While you’re prepping for the big meal, bake quiche or make frittatas so they will be ready to re-heat when you want them. Set up a hot drink station with cocoa, coffee, and tea, and unwrap those keto cookies you stashed away.

4. Make a hot cereal bar with Keto Chow flavors like Snickerdoodle, Banana, and Salted Caramel, along with the ingredients to make instant hot cereal, include nuts, seeds, coconut, freeze-dried berries, sweeteners, and butter and cream to dress it up. With a carafe of hot water on standby everyone can make their own breakfast whenever they’re ready. 

Kitchen helper, washing dishes5. Designate some willing kitchen helpers to be sure you don’t get stuck with all the cleaning. Set them on patrol looking for empty cups and plates, and make sure all the dishes are done so you can concentrate on other pursuits.

6. Plan an activity that everyone can do together and set a time to meet if people are doing different things. Make sure you get some time with everyone, even if it is just your immediate family it’s still worthwhile to take the time to connect. Try something old fashioned like pick-up sticks. You may be surprised how engaging it is. 

Take time to relax, older lady with dog7. Do something nice for yourself for all the hard work you did. Make sure you have a plan for the day after the big day to do something simple for you, whether that means sleeping in, having an at home spa day with your family, heading out to the park to toss the ball, or just slowly savoring your favorite hot cocoa from your favorite mug while you let the kids fill the dishwasher.

8. Ask a family member or friend to share a story with the family. Have someone record it. Schedule a Zoom call if you need to. 

9. Spend time with your loved ones. That is the most important part of the big day. If that just means cuddling up on the couch with your golden retriever or tabby, or chatting via Zoom, then do that! 

10. Plan a movie night. Make it a double feature with something for the little ones and something for the bigger ones. Let the teens get creative–set up chairs, make a pot of chili or favorite casserole and make some keto snacks. Then settle in and have fun.
