Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

Fudge:

  • 1/3 cup coconut butter
  • 1/3 cup refined coconut oil *
  • 1 ripe Haas Avocado peeled & pitted
  • 1 serving Chocolate Mint Keto Chow
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk if needed
  • 3 ounces sugar-free, semi-sweet chocolate chips plus extra for decoration

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (1.5 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • greet food coloring
  • small bunch fresh, mint leaves

Instructions

  • Oil a 9 X 4.5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving some extra hanging over the long sides. This will make the fudge easier to remove later.
  • Warm the coconut butter and coconut oil to soften; place in a blender with the flesh of the avocado and blend until smooth.
  • Add the Keto Chow and blend. If it is too thick to blend, add the almond milk.
  • Melt the chocolate chips carefully in the microwave or with a double boiler over gently simmering water.
  • Fold the melted chocolate into the avocado and coconut mixture.
  • Spread the fudge into the prepared loaf pan and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes or until set.
  • Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler of gently simmering water. Add a drop or two of green food coloring and stir to distribute the color.
  • Spread the white chocolate mixture over the fudge and decorate by pressing in chocolate chips and mint leaves.
  • Chill in the freezer for another ten minutes or until set.
  • Remove from the pan by lifting the parchment paper handles. If it won’t come loose, allow it to come to room temperature for ten minutes.
  • Cut the fudge into 24 pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months.

Notes

*Refined coconut oil gives a milder coconut flavor.

Calories: 128.1kcal
Author: Joshua Gudim

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup swerve (granulated)
  • 1 serving Chocolate Mint Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Butter Cream Filling

  • 7 tbsp salted butter at room temperature
  • 2 cups swerve (powdered)
  • 1 tbsp Chocolate Mint Keto Chow
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1-2 tbsp cream cheese optional

Instructions

Making the Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 300F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Add in the egg, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and mix well until a dough forms.
  • Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to desired thickness but no thicker than 1/4 inch.
  • Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter or something that works just as well, cut out circles of dough and lift gently and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather up scraps and re-roll until all dough is used up.
  • Bake cookies until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cookies. Remove and let cool.

Making the Butter Cream Filling

  • Mix butter together with the powdered sugar alternative, adding 1/2 cup of the sugar at a time until blended.
  • Add Keto Chow and heavy cream and mix well.
  • If you want, you can add some crumbled cookies into your filling or even a tbsp or two of warmed cream cheese.
  • Spoon about 1/2 tbsp of the filling on top of half of the cookies you made earlier, then top with the other half of the cookies.

Notes

At approx 1/8" thick I made 37 cookies, 18 sandwiches. Your yield may vary.

Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 609kcal
Author: Kim Howerton

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup +2 tbsp fine almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Swerve, confectioner's style if you like things sweeter, increase to 1/2 cup
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp melted butter plus more for greasing pan

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup swerve, confectioner's style
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 servings Chocolate Mint Keto Chow (or 2 scoops)
  • 5-8 drops green liquid food coloring optional
  • 1/2 tsp mint extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
  • Mix together dry ingredients for the crust, then add the butter to the egg, then pour into the dry ingredients. Using your hands, mix wet and dry ingredients together to form a dough. Remove 4 tbsp worth of dough and set aside.
  • Take remaining dough and roll into a ball, then flatten into a disk, and put in your prepared pie pan. With wet hands (it helps!), smooth and press the dough into the pie pan to form pie crust. Prick holes in the base of crust using a fork.
  • Take baking sheet and put a bit of parchment on it. Take reserved dough and flatten into a pancake (you're crumbling it, so it doesn't have to be pretty) on the parchment paper.
  • Put both pie and baking sheet into the oven, if it can fit. You can also do the baking in two stages if needed.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Take pancake piece and crumble into what looks like cookie crumbs.
  • Now prepare your filling. Beat your softened cream cheese for 2-3 minutes, then add sweetener, extracts, Keto Chow, 3/4 cup of the cream, and the food coloring (if using). Beat until smooth and fluffy. If you want your filling to have cookie crumbs in it, add them now! (I totally spaced this and instead, I sprinkled them on top. Valid choice!) Set aside.
  • In a clean bowl, beat remaining cream to soft peaks. Set aside about 1/2 cup for topping. Fold remaining whipped cream into Keto Chow mixture.
  • Scoop into cooled pie shell. Smooth into dome shape.
  • For bonus points, top with some freshly chopped chocolate!
  • Chill for 4 hours or overnight.

Ingredients

DONUTS

  • 4 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 2 tbsp mayo this helps make donuts moist
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 3 eggs

  • In a blender, standing mixer, or food processor, add coconut oil, mayo, vanilla, peppermint extract, and eggs together. Mix very well.

  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients until there are no clumps. Add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, making sure it's all incorporated.
  • Once your mixture is mixed, it is ready to be divided. Place your mixture into your donut mold. I made six donuts, though you could just as easily have seven from mixture.

Cook Time12 minutes
Total Time1 hour 57 minutes
Course: Desserts
Keyword: Amanda Balle, Chocolate Mint
Servings: 20 cookies
Calories: 125.5kcal
Author: Amanda

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted softened butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sweetener
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 serving Chocolate Mint Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1/8 cup peppermint chips can sub 1/4 tsp mint extract

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.
