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.

Servings: 4
Calories: 255.7kcal

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.

Keto Chow Flavor: Strawberry
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 8 tarts
Calories: 450kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Equipment

  • food processor
  • cupcake liners or ramekins

Ingredients

CRUST

CHOCOLATE GANACHE LAYER

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5 ounces sugar free, semi-sweet chocolate cut in small pieces
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into cubes

STRAWBERRY MOUSSE LAYER

  • 6 ounces fresh strawberries washed & hulled
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 serving Strawberry Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)

Instructions

  • To make the crust, pulse the strawberries and almonds in the food processor until they are finely ground, then mix in the erythritol, butter, and salt. Blend until it’s all mixed.
  • Press the mixture into the bottoms of the eight liners or ramekins as evenly as possible They should be about 1/2 inch thick.
  • To make the ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until small bubbles start to break the surface and it's almost simmering. Take the cream off the heat and put all the chocolate into the cream. Let it sit for about a minute for the chocolate to soften. Then gently stir the mixture until it is glossy and all the chocolate is melted. Add the butter and stir gently until it has melted and is mixed in.
  • Pour a layer of ganache over each crust layer, then transfer them to the freezer to set while you make the strawberry mousse.
  • Puree the strawberries to a liquid and strain through a fine sieve. They should yield approximately 1/2 cup of strawberry puree.
  • Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks begin to form, then sprinkle the Keto Chow over the top and mix briefly. Finally add the strawberry puree and whip until it is fully combined. The mixture will be soft but spoonable.
  • Top the crust and chocolate layer with a generous layer of strawberry mousse and return to the freezer to set. Freeze for about an hour until you can remove the muffin liners from the mini tarts to reveal the layers.
  • To serve, decorate with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, melted chocolate, or whipped cream.
  • Store extra tarts in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Keto Chow used regular almonds (unblanched) and they taste wonderful.
The power of your food processor will change the texture, and the color of your dried strawberries will change the color of the bottom layer.

Instructions

  • To make the royal icing, beat together erythritol, egg white, 1/2 tsp water, and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar in the work bowl of an electric mixer.
  • If the icing is too thick, add more water 1/2 tsp at a time, blending after each addition until it is pipeable but still quite thick.

Eggnog Cannoli Cupcakes

A twist on eggnog and cannoli. Joe Stauffer from 2 Krazy Ketos made an eggnog flavored cupcake and then filled each one with an eggnog cannoli cream.

Keto Chow Flavor: Eggnog
Recipe Creator: Joe Stauffer
Servings: 8
Author: Joe Stauffer

Ingredients

Cupcakes

Cannoli Filling

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (undrained)
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 serving Eggnog Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 1/4 cup allulose
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp liquid stevia

Instructions

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
  • Beat in eggs, butter, and stevia.
  • Blend until smooth. Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes so the coconut flour absorbs any excess moisture.
  • Scoop into 8 cupcake molds.
  • Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test.
  • Allow to cool before frosting.

Cannoli Cream

  • Using a high speed mixer, beat together mascarpone and ricotta cheese.
  • Once well combined, add Keto Chow, cinnamon, allulose, nutmeg, and stevia. Combine well.
  • Add in heavy whipping cream as you continue to mix.
  • Allow to chill in the fridge until ready.
  • Once cupcakes are cool, using a pastry bag and tip, squeeze some cannoli cream into each cupcake. With the remaining cream, top each cupcake like a frosting.

Notes

Usually when making cannoli cream, people drain the ricotta in a cheesecloth. DO NOT do that with this recipe. The Keto Chow will remove all the excess moisture. If you drain the ricotta, you will get a very dry, clumpy cream.
Depending on the time of year, you can use any flavor of Keto Chow.

  • Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes before stirring in chocolate chips and Keto Chow. If you do not let it cool and mix in the chocolate too early, the fats may separate and make the mixture clump.
  • Whisk in chocolate chips and Keto Chow until smooth. Scrape mixture into a 9x9 pan lined with parchment. Cover with plastic wrap and cool for at least one hour before slicing and serving.
  • Serve chilled. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days for best freshness.

Eggnog Gingerbread House

A real gingerbread house that tastes great, smells like Christmas at Grandma's house, and holds together beautifully. All without flour, sugar, or gluten!
When I realized this dough would hold up to building a gingerbread house, I was so excited. It works beautifully, tastes like a good old-fashioned gingerbread, and will make your kitchen smell magical.

Servings: 1 gingerbread house and decorations
Calories: 109.93kcal

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Cookie cutters or patterns to cut out the shapes for the house and any decorations
  • Rolling pin
  • Cookie sheets
  • Cardboard or cake board for the base of the house
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag

Ingredients

The Gingerbread House

Royal Icing for Assembly

  • 1 cup sifted powdered erythritol
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 tsp water, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • food coloring if desired

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Line cookie sheets with lightly oiled tin foil or parchment paper
  • Whisk together the Keto Chow, coconut flour, spices, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
  • 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 eggs are 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.
  • To make cut-out cookies, chill the dough for approximately 15 minutes. Then, working with 1/3 of the dough at a time, roll it out between two sheets of oiled parchment paper to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut it into pieces for your house.
  • For my house, I cut two end panels with door and window openings, two side panels, and two roof panels, plus gingerbread people, a snowman, and various shapes to decorate the house.
  • Place the cut pieces on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for about 20 minutes until the pieces start to look brown and feel firm to the touch. They will still be slightly soft to the touch in the center but will firm up as they cool.
  • Continue until you have made all the pieces you need. You can reroll the dough more than once. If it gets too soft, just return it to the fridge for a few minutes.
  • Allow the baked cookies to cool completely before assembling the house.

Icing and Assembly

  • To make the royal icing, beat together erythritol, egg white, 1/2 tsp water, and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar in the work bowl of an electric mixer. If the icing is too thick, add more water 1/2 tsp at a time, blending after each addition until it is pipeable but still quite thick. It should be quite stiff. If you add too much water, you can add more erythritol a teaspoon at a time, but try to stay as close as possible to the original recipe so it will dry and hold together.
  • To assemble your gingerbread house, first check the edges of your wall and roof pieces and be sure they are straight and even. If they aren't, you can even them by filing them with a micro plane zester of a small knife until they all match up to each other and are flat.
  • Cut a small hole into the tip of a disposable icing bag or fit an icing bag with a small round tip. Fill the bag about 1/3 full with icing.
  • Starting with the back wall of your house, pipe a generous line of icing along the bottom edge of the wall and place it on your cardboard or cake board. You can use a can or jar to prop it up while you pipe icing along the edge and the bottom of one of the side walls and connect it with the back wall. Continue building the walls of the house like this until you have all four in place.
  • Allow the icing on the walls to set and dry for at least half an hour until they are sturdy enough to hold the roof pieces. Then pipe icing onto the roof pieces where they will connect with the walls and where they meet at the peak.
  • Refrigerate your remaining icing tightly covered while you wait for the house to set.
  • When the house is set, decorate however you wish. Color the icing with different colors, decorate with sugar-free chocolates, sprinkles, and candies. Use your favorite molds to make chocolate shapes. Let your imagination and creativity run wild and have fun.
  • Once the house has dried and everything is set, store in a cool, dry place, loosely covered with plastic wrap so it doesn't get dusty when it isn't on display.
  • If properly stored, it should be edible for up to a week. If you don't want to eat it, it should be in good condition for display for up to a month.

  • 2 Tbsp. unsweetened finely shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Chocolate Fudge

Instructions

  • To make the coconut filling, warm the coconut butter in the microwave until soft.
  • Add melted coconut oil, swerve, shredded coconut, and heavy cream together and mix well.
  • Set aside and make the chocolate fudge.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, mix together the heavy cream, swerve, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir often for 15 minutes until it looks like a slightly browned, thicker sweetened condensed milk. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the Chocolate Keto Chow and the chocolate chips until the chocolate has melted and combined.
  • Fill each cupcake mold evenly 1/3 of the way up with the fudge mixture.
  • Fill each cupcake another third of the way with the coconut mixture. You may need to microwave the coconut filling for 20-30 seconds to soften so it is easily spreadable.
  • Top with the remaining fudge mixture.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to set.

Notes

Yield: 12 cupcakes
Don't be alarmed by excess oil or separation. This is normal and will harden once cold. After the cupcakes have firmed up, you can store them in the fridge covered with plastic wrap.
Notes from Keto Chow: To reduce net carbs to 2.99 per serving, you can replace the coconut butter with unsalted butter. It may affect taste slightly.
