Ring Around the Root Beer Float

Ring around the Root Beer Float

Creamy, cool and elegant, this old-fashioned gelatin brings back memories of root beer floats on hot summer days. The carbonated water lightens the gelatin and adds a little sparkle to the root beer. Try cherry, vanilla or even lime soda water to add another layer of flavor to this creamy delight.

  • Ring mold

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the cold water in a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface.
  • Allow the gelatin to soften for a minute or two.
  • Place the pan over medium-low heat and heat while stirring until all the gelatin has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling - about 190-200 degrees.
  • Add the sweetener and stir until completely dissolved.
  • Set the gelatin mixture aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk or blend the Keto Chow, heavy cream, and one cup of the carbonated water together until there are no lumps remaining. Mix in the gelatin.
  • Gently stir in the rest of the carbonated water, being careful to keep as much carbonation in it as possible. Pour the mixture into your ring mold or an attractive serving bowl.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • To serve, unmold onto a platter or serve in the bowl garnished with fresh whipped cream and berries if desired.

Keto Chow Orange Cream Dreamsicles

Orange Cream Keto Dreamsicles

Summer is right around the corner and orange and vanilla is one of my favorite flavor combinations so I couldn’t resist making keto dreamsicles with my Orange Cream Keto Chow. The sour cream in this recipe gives the popsicles a little tang and the oil helps keep them creamy in the freezer.

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a standard muffin tin.
  • To make the cupcakes, combine the almond milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the Keto Chow, almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
  • Cream butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the erythritol; then beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Beat in half the flour mixture. Slowly mix in the almond milk mixture a little at a time so it doesn’t splash out of the bowl, then beat in the remaining flour mixture.
  • Mix in the red food coloring. Add enough to make the batter bright red. The amount needed will depend on what type of coloring you use.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch and lightly browned around the edges.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

  • To make the frosting, blend the Keto Chow and heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Beat in the cream cheese and then the powdered erythritol.
  • Beat in the softened butter a few pieces at a time until the mixture is light, fluffy and smooth.
  • Frost the cupcakes and decorate with raspberries.

Soft Baked Keto Cookies & Cream Cookies

I am really excited about these cookies! They are the best cookies I have made since going keto. They are soft, tender and lightly sweet. They really behave and taste like traditional cookies and they are so easy to make. Everyone who tried them loved them! Have fun with this recipe and make it your own. Add your favorite sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or seeds, or use sugar-free jam to make thumbprint cookies. You can even roll the dough out and use cookie cutters to cut out perfect cookies!

  • 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 egg is 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.
  • Scoop balls of dough that are about a tablespoon each onto an oiled cookie sheet, spacing them approximately two inches apart.

  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until the cookies have puffed slightly and are just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges.

Cut Out Cookies/Cookie Cutter Cookies

  • To make cut-out cookies: chill the dough for approximately 30 minutes, roll it out between two sheets of oiled parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes with your favorite cookie cutters.

  • Reroll the scraps and repeat.
  • Place on an oiled cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges. Don’t overbake or the cookies will become dry.

  • This will yield approximately 10-12 cookies based on the size of your cookie cutters.

Notes

Please Note: This recipe calls for one measuring cup of Keto Chow powder, not one scoop.
Note about sweeteners: I tested this recipe with both an erythritol blend and with allusose. They both worked and gave good results. They erythritol resulted in a slightly sweeter cookie and is easier to roll out and shape. The allulose yielded a cookie that was a bit more soft and chewy.

  • If it becomes too soft to work with, place it in the freezer for a few minutes.
  • To serve, dust the pieces with confectioner’s sweetener or drizzle them with chocolate coating and chill until the chocolate is set.
