Equipment

  • rolling pin, 2.5” pastry cutter or cookie cutter

Ingredients

COOKIES

  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
  • 1 serving Pistachio Keto Chow
  • 1/2 cup fine almond flour (1.5 oz)
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 4 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp. rose water
  • 1 Tbsp. dried rose petals or rose bud tea plus extra for garnish (4g) *
  • 1 large egg

ICING

Instructions

  • Place the pistachios in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely ground. Remove from the food processor and set aside.
  • Place the Keto Chow, almond flour, and granulated erythritol in the food processor and pulse to combine.
  • Add the butter and pulse until it is cut into pea size pieces or smaller in the dry mixture.
  • Return the ground pistachios to the food processor along with the rose petals, 1/2 tsp. rose water, and egg. Process on low speed until the mixture begins to hold together.
  • Remove the dough and knead it into a ball. Slightly flatten and press the edges against the counter to create a square shape. Wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, heat the oven to 350℉ and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap the dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Roll it out to a 9 X 9-inch square; it will be about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut nine cookies out of the dough and transfer them to the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Gently press the scraps together, re-roll the dough and cut out three more cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for about ten minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. They will be slightly soft in the center but will firm as they cool.
  • When the cookies have cooled completely, make the icing.
  • Place the powdered erythritol in a small bowl and stir in the rose water and milk. The icing should have a thick, pourable consistency like syrup.
  • Stir in the pink food coloring one small drop at a time, until the desired color is reached.
  • Spoon or pipe the icing into the middle of the cookie and spread it out to make a circle covering most of the cookie. While the icing is still wet, sprinkle with rose petals to decorate. Allow the icing to set before serving or storing cookies.
  • Store cookies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or tightly sealed in the freezer for up to three months.

Notes

*You can find dried rose leaves online and rosebud tea at many Asian markets. To use rosebud tea, gently pull the leaves off of the stem leaving the green behind. Wherever you source yours, be sure they are food grade and haven’t been treated with pesticides.

Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 8 pops
Calories: 192.5kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Equipment

  • Cake pop or Lolli-pop sticks and a piece of Styrofoam or a small box with holes punched in it to hold the sticks upright while the chocolate sets.

Ingredients

  • 1 serving Strawberry Keto Chow or flavor of your choice
  • 1/4 cup fine almond flour (1 ounce)
  • 1 Tbsp. powdered erythritol
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 Tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp. flavoriting extract of your choice optional
  • 1 cup sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp. refined coconut oil
  • 8 cake pop sticks
  • Assorted gel or paste food colorings, sugar-free sprinkles, candies, & chopped nuts for decorating

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the Keto Chow, almond flour, and erythritol. Add the butter, heavy cream, and flavor extract (if using) and knead by hand until it comes together. The dough should feel like soft modeling clay.
  • Scoop a scant Tbsp. of the dough; roll it into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place a stick in the center of each ball no deeper than halfway. Place in the freezer to chill while you melt the white chocolate for coating.
  • Before you melt the chocolate, set up any decorations you want to use. Use small bowls or cups for mixing different colors into the melted chocolate and small dishes for the sprinkles and any other decorations. You will also want to make sure you have something set up to hold the pops after they have been dipped. A piece of Styrofoam or a shoe box poked with small holes will work for this.
  • Melt the chocolate by placing it in a microwave safe bowl with the coconut oil and microwaving in 30-seconds bursts, stirring after each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat or it will scorch and seize. The coconut oil helps keep the chocolate smooth while melting.
  • If you want to color the chocolate, add a small dab of desired food coloring to the chocolate, stir, and add more as needed to reach desired shade.
  • Pull the chilled protein balls from the freezer and dip them one at a time into the chocolate, letting the excess run back into the bowl. The stick will be loose; pull it out of the pop, coat the end in chocolate and place it back in the pop. This will help the stick stay in place once set. Use a small spatula to neaten the look if desired.
  • Add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or decorations while the chocolate is still soft. Then place the pop in the prepared Styrofoam or box until set.
  • Continue until all the pops are coated. When the chocolate is set, you can decorate them with different colored chocolate with a small piping bag, or a small plastic bag with the corner cut.
  • Chill until completely set. Then place each pop individually in plastic wrap or decorative bags, or store them in an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months. Keep refrigerated until serving for best results.

Chocolate Rum Balls

Chocolate Rum Balls

These are an indulgent treat for the holidays or anytime. They can be made with other flavors as well. Try mint, orange, cherry or amaretto extract in place of the rum extract. And of course, you can replace the heavy cream and rum extract with real rum for the genuine article.

Keto Chow Flavor: Chocolate
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 18 rum balls
Calories: 72.3kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup (3 ounces) sugar-free, dark chocolate chips
  • 2 ounces unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sweetener, plus more for frosting
  • 1 serving Chocolate Keto Chow
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Instructions

  • In a food processor or blender grind the walnuts to a fine texture.
  • Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring afterward until the chocolate is completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the walnuts, keto chow, and powdered sweetener.
  • Mix the melted chocolate and butter into the dry ingredients, stir in the heavy cream and rum extract, and mix well.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
  • When the mix has chilled, scoop approximately a tablespoon -  a small cookie dough scoop works well for this - and shape into a ball. The texture should be like playdough. If they are too soft, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes. If they are too dry and crumbly, warm them in your hand a bit as you shape them, they should soften and come together.
  • Roll the balls in more powdered sweetener to coat and place them in a container to chill overnight in the refrigerator. The flavors will develop and marry as they chill.
  • You can also roll them in cocoa powder, ground nuts or desiccated coconut. If you want to dip them in melted chocolate, chill them for at least 30 minutes after you roll them.

Ingredients

Substitute for Sugar Free Jam

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup fruit
  • 1 tbsp granular sweetner
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small saucepan, add butter, water, sweetener, vanilla, and oatmeal flavor and start cooking on medium heat. Stir intermittently until it boils.
  • While that’s heating, in a separate bowl,  add together the keto chow, almond flour, and baking powder and mix together well with a fork making sure there are no clumps.
  • Once the butter sweet liquid mixture is boiling remove from heat and add in the dry mixture and stir together until well combined. It should form into a ball. Let cool for five minutes and then add the egg. Beat mixture until the egg is completely incorporated.
  • Add batter to a piping bag with a wide, flat tip. Add jelly to a piping bag.
  • Prepare 8x4 pan with parchment paper leaving flaps on two sides for easy removal. Pipe in half of batter in the bottom of the pan. Pipe in jam. Pipe in the rest of the batter on top. Bake on 350 for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Once cooled, slice into 5.

SUBSTITUE FOR SUGAR FREE JAM

  • Heat water, fruit and sweetener to boiling. Remove from heat and cook. Blend until smooth. You can strain seeds if desired. Add xanthan gum and blend again until thick.

Notes

Keto Chow used blackberries for the sugar free jam substitute. 
Instead of a bread pan, a silicone mini loaf pan was used, each slot lined with tin foil and then greased well. This will create a more cooked bottom. 
You can also line a bread pan with foil and grease that vs the parchment paper.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • With an electric or stand mixer on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
  • Add in the confectioners sweetener and keto chow and then fold mixture with spoon or rubber spatula until it’s nice and creamy. It will limp together at first, just keep stirring. It will reduce down a lot by folding which is ok.
  • Add to piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool for at least 30 minutes. They will harden as they cool.

Higher Altitude Instructions:

  • With an electric or stand mixer with whisk attachment on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
  • While the mixer is still whipping on high, add in the confectioners sweetener a little bit at a time and mix thoroughly between additions. Using the same method, add keto chow a bit at a time. The mixture will reduce down some, but let it keep whipping on high until fully mixed. Make sure to continue whipping while adding sweetener and keto chow. Only stop to scrape the sides once or twice.
  • Add to a piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown and puffed.
  • For a crisper cookie, lightly oil a foil lined cookie sheet and pipe cookies onto the foil.

Equipment

  • popsicle bags with a zip-close seal

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large freezer bag and cut off the tip of one corner to create a piping bag.
  • Squeeze the yogurt into the popsicle bags starting as close to the bottom of the bag as possible, pressing out any air as you go. If the mixture is very thick due to thicker yogurt, add some water until desired thickness is achieved to pour into sleeves.
  • Seal the tops of the bags.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer up to two months.

Notes

*If you have yogurt that’s high in fat you can replace the sour cream with another cup of yogurt.

Ingredients

Cookies

Butter Cream Filling

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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In the work bowl of an electric mixer, beat the Keto Chow, almond milk, vanilla, and orange extracts together on low speed until the Keto Chow is completely moistened.
  • With the mixer still running, begin adding the cream cheese a couple chunks at a time, mixing after each addition. Beat until fully combined and lighter in texture.
  • Add the butter chunks a couple pieces at a time, beating after each addition. The texture should start to look light and fluffy.
  • Turn the mixer off and add the powdered erythritol, turn the mixer back on at the lowest speed and mix the erythritol in. When it is mixed into the frosting, increase the speed on the mixer and beat until everything is light and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, you can add more almond milk one teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  • You can make this frosting with any flavor of Keto Chow you like, just omit the orange extract. Although the orange extract would be delicious with chocolate flavor.
