  • Add sour cream, lime juice and zest, Key Lime Keto Chow, and egg yolks to the whipped cream and mix until combined.
  • Pour the key lime filling into the baked pie crust, sprinkling on more zest if desired. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
  • Remove pie and let cool for at least 30 minutes and then refrigerate for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight. When ready to serve, add whipped cream to top, if desired.

Orange Cream & Cranberry Pie

Creamy orange filling with just a hint of ginger, topped with tangy cranberry sauce, this no bake pie may be my new favorite holiday dessert.  It’s just as good without a crust, try layering it in decorative dishes for easy serving.

Ingredients

Pie Crust - Enough dough for 2 shallow dish pie pans or one deep dish pie.

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 2 tbsp powdered erythritol
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 tbsp cold butter

Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 serving Chocolate Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 1/4 cup allulose
  • 1 tsp liquid stevia
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

Pie Crust

  • Combine coconut flour, xanthan gum, and erythritol into a bowl
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Cut butter into small pieces and add to pie mixture; blend until smooth. You want the butter to be well mixed in; the crust mixture should not be chunky from the butter.
  • Wrap in plastic and chill in fridge for at least 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using parchment paper top and bottom, roll out the crust with a rolling pin to an approximately 12" circle.
  • Remove top parchment paper and place into a well-grease 9" standard depth pie pan and poke holes in the bottom with a fork. Cut any excess crust from around the edges and use excess to fix any cracks that may have occurred while placing the crust into the dish.
  • Bake in oven at 350 degrees until crust begins to brown, about 10 minutes.

Chocolate Filling

  • In a bowl, whip heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. It should double in size so that you have 2 cups. Place in the fridge while you work on the next step.
  • Combine cream cheese and mascarpone cheese until well blended.
  • Add in Chocolate Keto Chow, allulose, stevia, and almond milk. Mix until smooth.
  • Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and blend until smooth.
  • For assembly, take the chilled pie crust and fill with chocolate cream filling.
  • Gently shave a small piece of dark chocolate across the top.
  • Place in freezer to chill so that it's easier to slice.

Notes

This recipe will work with any sweet flavor of Keto Chow.
To make it easier to slice, place the finished pie in the freezer.

Strawberry Hand Pies

Strawberry Hand Pies

These hand pies feature a crisp, short crust and sweet fruit filling, just like the pies grandma used to make. They are cute enough to offer your valentine, and sturdy enough to pack in a lunch box.

Equipment

  • cookie sheet, rolling pin, heart shaped cookie cutter, pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Strawberry Keto Chow plus extra for rolling
  • 2 ounces fine almond flour
  • 2 ounces unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg separated
  • 1-2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 4 tsp sugar free strawberry jam

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.
  • Mix the Keto Chow and almond flour together in a large bowl.
  • Add the butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand with a few pebble-sized pieces of butter still visible.
  • Add the egg white and one tablespoon of water and mix until the dough starts to come together. When you pinch the dough between your finger and thumb it should hold together, If it doesn’t add the second tablespoon of water and knead together.
  • Shape the dough into a ball; wrap it in plastic and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  • While the dough is resting, make an egg wash by mixing the egg yolk with the heavy cream.
  • Sprinkle some Keto Chow on your work surface and roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. If it starts to stick, sprinkle more Keto Chow as you work.
  • Cut out eight heart shapes. Place a teaspoon of jam in the center of four hearts then brush their edges with the egg wash. Place the other four hearts on top and gently seal the edges. Prick the tops with a fork or a small knife to create small steam vents.
  • Lightly brush the tops of the pies with egg wash and transfer them to the prepared cookie sheet.
  • You can use the extra dough to cut shapes to decorate your pies if you like. 
  • Bake until the edges are golden, and the bottoms are golden brown and crisp - 15-20 minutes.

Notes

If using a 3” cookie cutter, you may be able to get 5 hand pies to use up all the dough. 
Do not add too many vent holes or the top crust will fall apart and the jam will leak through.
