Calories: 205.4kcal

Equipment

  • muffin tin and liners

Ingredients

MUFFINS

  • 1 cup fine almond flour (3 oz.) sifted
  • 1 serving Peaches & Cream Keto Chow
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (1 oz.)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds

GLAZE

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line the muffin tin with paper liners and heat the oven to 350℉.
  • Combine the almond flour, Keto Chow, coconut flour and baking soda in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Add the eggs to the butter mixture and mix well.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix on low speed until fully combined.

Calories: 90.1kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (2.5 oz)
  • 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
  • 1 serving Orange Cream Keto Chow
  • 1/2 cup fine almond flour (2 oz)

  • Add the Keto Chow and almond flour to the bowl and beat on low speed until fully combined.
  • Stir in the sliced almonds with a spoon or spatula.
  • Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap and shape it into a rectangular log, about 8 inches by 2 inches by 1.5 inches.
  • Wrap the dough tightly and place in the freezer to chill for about 15 minutes, or until it is firm enough to slice.

  • Allow cookies to cool before moving them from the tray. They will crumble if moved too soon but will become firm as they cool.

Raspberry Mascarpone Cookie Baskets

Raspberry Mascarpone Cookie Baskets

Refreshing and elegant, these will add a bit of fancy to any meal or dinner party—and the best part is, they’re deceptively easy to make!
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time50 minutes
Course: Desserts
Keyword: Chef Taffiny Elrod, Raspberry Cheesecake
Servings: 1 cookie basket
Calories: 227.8kcal
Author: Shanelle Sorensen

Equipment

  • Pizzelle Iron, small bowls or teacups

Ingredients

FILLING

  • 3 cups marscarpone cheese
  • 2 pints fresh raspberries washed & dried (reserve 8 for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 tsp. pure vanille extract

COOKIE CUPS

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 serving Raspberry Cheesecake Keto Chow
  • 1/4 tsp. fine salt
  • 8 fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • To make the filling, mix together the mascarpone cheese, fresh raspberries, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the baskets.
  • To make the cookie baskets, beat the eggs with an electric mixer for at least three minutes, or until they are light, fluffy, and doubled in volume. This step is important because it gives the cookies a light texture and makes the batter much easier to work with.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the erythritol, then the oil and vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the Keto Chow and salt, mixing until fully combined.
  • Allow the batter to rest while you preheat a pizzelle iron. Turn the small bowls upside down; you will be using them to shape the cooked pizzelles.
  • When it is heated, drop a small ball of dough near the back of the iron. The ball should be about a Tbsp. but it will depend on the size of your iron.
  • Bake the cookie according to the manufacturer's directions until slightly golden and firm enough to carefully remove from the iron. (Generally this would be about two minutes but each iron is different.)
  • Once you have carefully removed the pizzelle, drape it immediately over the upturned bowl. Press it gently around the bowl to shape it into a basket. Another small bowl can be placed over the cookie to help form the shape. Allow the cookie to cool until it holds its shape, about two minutes, then set it on a tray upside down to cool completely. Repeat until eight baskets have been made.
  • When all the baskets are completely cool, fill each with approximately 1/4 cup filling and garnish with the reserved raspberries and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately after filling.

Servings: 1 burger
Calories: 359.6kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1 serving Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
  • 2 Tbsp. ground flax seed
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, cleaned and dried
  • 8 oz. broccoli slaw or riced cauliflower
  • 3 oz. walnuts or sunflower seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 Tbsp. avocado or olive oil

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the Keto Chow, ground flax seed, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and paprika and set aside.
  • Chop the mushroom into small pieces by pulsing in a food processor until they are the texture of riced cauliflower. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
  • Pulse the broccoli slaw in the food processor until it is the size of riced cauliflower, transfer it to the bowl with the mushrooms.
  • Grind the walnuts in the food processor to a coarse meal and set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms and broccoli slaw. Cook the vegetables in the dry pan until most of the moisture has evaporated, the pan begins to look dry, and the mushrooms start to brown.
  • Return the cooked vegetables to the bowl and mix in the ground walnuts and coconut aminos.
  • Sprinkle the Keto Chow and seasonings over the mixture and stir it together.
  • Mix in the cheddar cheese and work the mixture together by hand or with a stiff spatula until it comes together like a firm dough. The more it is kneaded, the better it will hold together when cooked.
  • Shape into four patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Wipe out the nonstick skillet used to cook the vegetables; place it over high heat and add the avocado oil.
  • When the oil is hot, carefully place the chilled burgers in the pan. Cook on one side without moving, until brown and crispy, about three to five minutes.
  • Flip the burgers and cook until crisp and brown on the other side, or another three to five minutes.
  • Cool burgers and wrap them tightly or store in an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for up to three months.
