Ingredients

1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.66 ounce)
1 6-ounce ripe, Haas avocado*
1 large lime
1 serving Key Lime Keto Chow

COATING

1/2 cup coconut oil**
1/2 cup toasted, unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

Zest just the green rind of the lime and squeeze the juice into the blender.
Scoop the avocado flesh into the blender. Add the coconut milk and Keto Chow and blend until creamy and smooth.
Pour the mixture into the popsicle molds and freeze overnight.
When the popsicles are frozen, line a tray with parchment paper or waxed paper and place it on an even surface in the freezer.
Place the toasted coconut in a small dish or tray.
Melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool to room temperature if it is too hot.
Remove the popsicles from their molds one at a time. If they won’t release from the mold run them under hot water for a couple seconds, repeating until they release. Working quickly, coat the popsicles with a layer of coconut oil and then sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Press the coconut gently to help it stick to the oil. If the coconut oil begins to firm while you are still coating the popsicles, melt it by placing the bowl in a dish of hot water.
Set the coated popsicles on the chilled tray. Once the coating is cold and firm, you can store the popsicles in an airtight container or in individual plastic bags in the freezer for up to three months.

Notes

*You can substitute other varieties of avocado, but the texture won’t be as creamy.

**Use virgin coconut oil for full coconut flavor or refined coconut oil for a milder flavor.

Servings: tarts

Calories: 442.1kcal

Author: Taffiny Elrod

Equipment

Mini tart pans, fine mesh sieve

Ingredients

TART SHELLS

1 serving Vanilla Keto Chow
1/2 cup fine almond flour (2 ounces)
1/4 cup granulated erythritol (2 ounces)
1/4 cup melted butter (2 ounces)
1 egg white
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

PASTY CREAM

1 tsp pure vanilla extract or half a vanilla bean
2 cups heavy cream, divided
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated allulose (2 ounces)
2 tbsp Vanilla Keto Chow

TO ASSEMBLE

2 pints fresh berries like raspberries, blackberries, blueberries & strawberries washed & dried
small edible flowers such as pansies or nasturtiums
fresh mint leaves

Instructions

To make the tart shells, preheat the oven to 325℉ and oil six mini tart pans.
Mix the Keto Chow, almond flour, and erythritol together in a bowl.
Stir in the melted butter until all the dry ingredients are coated.
Add the egg white and vanilla extract and stir until it comes together into a soft dough.
Separate into 6 equal pieces and press into the oiled tart pans.
If the dough is very soft or it is very warm in the kitchen, chill the prepared tart shells for 10-20 minutes before baking.
Prick the bottom of each shell with a fork in two or three places to allow steam to release while baking.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until brown and firm to the touch. The bottoms should be lightly browned when removed from the tart pan. If they seem too soft to remove from the pans place them back in the oven for another minute or two until they feel firmer.
Place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
To make the pastry cream, split the vanilla bean with a small knife and scrape the seeds from inside the pod.
Place the pod and the seeds in a small saucepan with one cup of heavy cream.
Heat the cream over medium heat until it comes to a low simmer.
While the cream heats, whisk the egg yolks with the allulose in a separate bowl until light and frothy.
When the cream is beginning to simmer, stir about 1/4 cup of it into the beaten egg yolks, then stir the mix back into the pan of cream.
Stir over low heat until it begins to thicken. It is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and holds a stripe when a finger is run through it.
Strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl and whisk in the 2 tablespoons Keto Chow, being sure to mix well
Refrigerate the cream until well chilled.
Whip the remaining cup of heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it into the chilled pastry cream.
When ready to serve, fill the cooled tart shells with the prepared pastry cream and arrange the berries on top. Decorate with the flowers and mint leaves.
These tarts are best served within a couple hours of assembling. However, the components can be made ahead and stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

KETO CHOW NOTES: Sarah used 6 mini tart pans with dimensions 4.25” in diameter by 1” high.

Ingredients

1 scoop Chocolate Mint Keto Chow
2 1/4 cups heavy cream cold
4 tbsp powdered erythritol divided
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
4 ounces cream cheese softened
3 ounces sugar-free, dark chocolate
1 tbsp cocoa powder

Ingredients

CAKE INGREDIENTS

3 eggs room temp
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup erythritol or granulated sweetener
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 serving Cookies and Cream Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)

PUDDING INGREDIENTS

8 oz cream cheese softened
1/4 cup softened unsalted butter (must be UNSALTED)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners Swerve
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream divided in 1 cup & 1/2 cup increments
1 serving Cookies and Cream Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
1/2 cup cold water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Pour into an 8x8 pan that has been lined with parchment paper and greased. Smooth batter to all edges and shake out air bubbles. Bake for 30 minutes or until done.
Place the cake in the freezer to cool completely. Roughly 30 minutes. While the cake cools, you can prepare the pudding filling.
Whip together softened cream cheese, softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, vanilla and Swerve until creamy and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, blend together 1 cup heavy cream, water and Keto Chow until thick and pudding like. Fold together cream cheese and Keto Chow pudding mixture. Place in the fridge.
Pull cake from the freezer and add to a food processor, pulse to break down into crumbles.

Notes

A 7 cup dish was used to make the trifle. Cronometer figured for 8 servings.

Individual dishes are approx ½ c in size with tiny spoons and toddler hands for size reference.

Calories: 131.58kcal

Author: Amanda Balle

Ingredients

Pumpkin Cake

3 eggs
1/3 cup powdered erythritol
1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 serving Pumpkin Spice Caramel Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)

Cream Cheese Filling

6 oz cream cheese, softened
6 tbsp butter, softened
1/3 cup powdered erythritol

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Prepare a jelly roll pan by lining it with a piece of parchment paper that fits the pan and grease the top side of the paper.
Add eggs, sweetener, pumpkin, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, and Keto Chow together in a bowl and blend everything with an electric mixer or stand mixer until it's nice and creamy. Your cake mixture will be thick.
Spread around on previously prepared greased parchment paper until evenly dispersed over the whole surface of the pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. When cake is finished baking, let it cool for 1-5 minutes and then roll it up WITH the parchment paper. Let cake cool for 30 minutes while rolled up with parchment paper.
While your cake cools, you can prepare your filling by adding the cream cheese, butter, and sweetener. Beat slowly to incorporate powdered sweetener then speed up and beat for 30 seconds. Stop and scrape sides of the bowl and then beat for another minute.
After 30 minutes of cooling, unroll the cake and let it cool for another minute or two.
Spread your cream cheese filling over the entire cake and then roll up the cake, this time without the parchment paper.
Wrap with plastic wrap and set in the fridge for at least an hour. When serving, you can dust with more powdered sweetener, if desired.

Notes

If you do not have parchment paper, you can dust a thin kitchen towel with powdered sweetener and roll your cooked cake up with the towel instead of the parchment paper, but be sure to grease your baking pan very well.

Mike Mallett's Pumpkin Spice Tart

This is a cream pie, not a custard-style baked pie. You can skip the shell altogether and eat this like pudding if you wish! You can also cut the whipped cream topping in half to lower the carbs if you want. You could make this tart with Snickerdoodle Keto Chow instead of the Pumpkin.

Calories: 374.21kcal

Author: Mike Mallett

Equipment

10" tart pan
whipped cream dispenser (optional)

Ingredients

Topping

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp Lakanto powdered monk fruit sweetener or sweetener of your choice
1/2 serving Pumpkin Spice Caramel Keto Chow (or 1/2 scoop)

Crust

1/4 cup Lakanto monk fruit sweetener, granulated or powdered or sweetener of your choice
1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed meal
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup finely ground blanched almond flour
1/4 cup ground psyllium husk powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup salted butter

Pumpkin Filling

1 15-oz can of 100% pumpkin puree
8 oz softened cream cheese (1 package)
1/4 cup Lakanto powdered monk fruit sweetener or sweetener of your choice
1 serving Pumpkin Spice Caramel Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Topping

This topping is a flavored whipped cream. You can make it in a bowl using a hand or stand mixer, but my instructions are for a whipped cream dispenser bottle which uses NO2 cartridges. If you use a mixer, make a whipped cream in a bowl to stiff peaks with no sweetener, then fold in the dry ingredients at the end with a rubber spatula. This is enough topping for slightly more than one tart, depending on how thick you like your whipped cream.
Chill whipped cream canister in the freezer for at least an hour with the lid off or with the lid on in the fridge overnight. If using a bowl instead, chill the bowl.
Combine dry ingredients for the topping in a blender. Blend on high for 3 minutes. Tap the blender occasionally to make sure all ingredients become finely powdered.
Add cream and vanilla and blend until mixed, approximately 20 seconds, until wet and dry ingredients are well blended.
Pour the cream into the whipped cream canister and screw on the lid tightly.
Insert the NO2 cartridge into the dispenser and screw on the part which holds it until you hear the gas release into the canister. Immediately swirl the canister to mix the gas into the cream by turning upside down and shaking for about 15 seconds.
Install the right dispenser nozzle.
Store in the fridge until the tart is finished.

Crust

This is a crumb-style crust similar to a graham cracker crust, but slightly more crusty. You can substitute any crust you want such as a coconut flour crust, but I tried to minimize the net carbs by substituting more fiber for some of the flour.
Preheat oven to 325F.
Combine and whisk the crust's dry ingredients in a bowl to break up any clumps until it is a smooth, even powder.
Melt butter in the microwave.
Add vanilla to melted butter and stir.
Pour liquid onto dry ingredients and stir crumb mixture until well distributed.
Pour crumb mixture into a 10" tart pan, approximately 1 1/2" deep and press down and onto the sides of the tart pan with a flat bottomed glass or measuring cup. This is a crumb-style crust, so you want to press it hard enough so that it does not crumble while baking. Crumbs do not need to go all the way to the top, but should be about 1" high on the sides.
Cook at 325F for 8-10 minutes. Crust should be slightly brown, but will not change color much.
Let cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by putting it in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Pumpkin Filling

Whip cream to soft peaks, then add vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and cream cheese to the whipped cream and beat until smooth, approximately 1 minute.
Add pumpkin and beat again, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl several times until filling is smooth and evenly colored.

Final Assembly

Gently spoon filling into the cooled tart shell one scoop at a time. This helps distribute the filling evenly and also prevents disturbing the shell, which is somewhat fragile.
Using an offset spatula, spread the filling to all of the corners.
Chill for at least 1 hour
Add whipped cream topping to the top of the tart using whatever pattern you choose. You can use a spoon and spread it that way or you can do small dots with a whipped cream dispenser or piping bag.
If desired, you can serve with some low carb caramel sauce and/or chopped nuts like pecans. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge.

Notes

The whipped cream dispenser is my new favorite kitchen gadget. One trick about using the cream dispenser is this: the spices tend to clog the nozzle. This is why I recommend blending all the powders (spices, sugar, Keto Chow, etc.) to make the particles as fine as possible. You will have leftover cream as this makes more than you need for one tart, but you do not want to partially fill the canister because you waste a gas cartridge every time you fill it.

Ingredients

PEANUT BUTTER BARS

1/2 cup or 1 stick of unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (145g) Salted is okay
1 egg room temperature
1/4 cup confectioners swerve or other sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 serving Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Chow (58g or 1 scoop)

FROSTING

1/2 cup or 1 stick unsalted butter softened
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners swerve
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream together butter, peanut butter, egg, sweetener, and vanilla for about 1 minute with a mixer on low to medium speed. Add baking soda and Keto Chow and mix again until combined.
Spread mixture in a greased 9x13 baking dish or a ¼ size cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. The mixture will not spread while baking so make sure to spread to the edges.
While your bars are cooling, mix together frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy. Once the bars are cooled, spread on chocolate frosting.

Notes

I softened my frosting for about 10 seconds (watch carefully it melts quick) in the microwave before frosting the bars so that it spread easier. I then set them in the fridge for roughly 30 minutes to set the frosting back up.

If you wish, you can add a layer of peanut butter between the bars and frosting.
