Equipment

  • eight 1-2 oz. mini Bundt cake pans or 6 standard muffin cups

Ingredients

CAKE

  • 1 cup fine almond flour (3.5oz)
  • 1 serving Root Beer Float Keto Chow
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (1 oz)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar style erythritol blend
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup diet root beer at room temperature

GLAZE

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and set a rack to the center. Grease 8 mini-Bundt pans or 6 muffin cups and place them on a rimmed baking tray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Keto Chow, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the brown erythritol and sour cream and mix well. Add the root beer to the mixture and stir well.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until ingredients are fully incorporated and there are no lumps remaining. The batter will be thick.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared Bundt pans and smooth into place. Tap the pans lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Slide the tray with the filled Bundt pans into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the cakes are browning around the edges, bounce back when lightly touched, and a cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the center of a cake.
  • Transfer the Bundt pans to a cooling rack. When they are cool enough to handle, invert them.
  • Let cool completely and then release the cakes by gently pulling them away from the sides of the pans.
  • To make the glaze, mix the powdered erythritol and the root beer together in a small bowl.
  • Add one Tbsp. of heavy cream and stir. If glaze is too thick to pour over the cakes, add the second Tbsp. of heavy cream.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the tops of the cooled cakes, letting it drip down the sides.
  • Let the cakes sit undisturbed for approximately 30 minutes for the glaze to set before serving.
  • Store in a single layer, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.

  • 9x13 Pan

Ingredients

PUDDING

WHIPPED TOPPING

Instructions

  • Mix together eggs, oil, vanilla and erythritol.
  • Add remaining ingredients and mix for 1-2 minutes until it’s nice and creamy, it will be thick.
  • Spread mixture into a 9x13 greased baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 and let the batter sit for 10 minutes (it makes it raise better). Place cake in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Cool cake for roughly 10-15 minutes. While the cake cools you can make your pudding by blending the cream, water, and Keto Chow with an immersion blender.
  • Use the bottom of a wooden spoon and poke holes evenly through the cake. Pour pudding into the holes first and then spread the remaining pudding over the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  • Right before pulling it out of the fridge you can make the topping by whipping together the cream and sweetener on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread topping and serve! 

Notes

NOTES: Can also be made in an 8x8 pan and cooked for a little longer.

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix 1/2 cup water and gelatin in the stand mixer bowl and allow to "bloom" or soften, just make sure there are no dry spots.
  • Use a paper towel to smear a small amount of butter on the sides of a 9x13 glass baking dish.
  • Whisk 3/4 cup water, allulose, and Keto Chow together until smooth, then heat until it’s bubbling, stirring continuously. Be careful: the allulose will caramelize if you heat it too much.
    Img 4337
  • Add heated mixture to gelatin and start mixing using whisk attachment on low for 5 minutes. Be careful! It's very hot at this stage.
    Img 4341
  • After 5 minutes, increase speed to high and mix until fluffy and doubled in size, about 10 minutes. You're adding air to the mix and giving it the marshmallow texture.
  • Use a spatula to transfer the mix into the buttered baking dish. Put dish in refrigerator to let cool before cutting.

  • Cut up with cookie cutters or knife.

Notes

The full recipe has 0.43g of net carbs with 199g total carbs, 192g of that is the sweetener. Allulose works the best, though you can use powdered erythritol. Granulated swerve or erythritol will stay granular and so will not work very well in this recipe.

Ring Around the Root Beer Float

Ring around the Root Beer Float

Creamy, cool and elegant, this old-fashioned gelatin brings back memories of root beer floats on hot summer days. The carbonated water lightens the gelatin and adds a little sparkle to the root beer. Try cherry, vanilla or even lime soda water to add another layer of flavor to this creamy delight.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the cold water in a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface.
  • Allow the gelatin to soften for a minute or two.
  • Place the pan over medium-low heat and heat while stirring until all the gelatin has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling - about 190-200 degrees.
  • Add the sweetener and stir until completely dissolved.
  • Set the gelatin mixture aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk or blend the Keto Chow, heavy cream, and one cup of the carbonated water together until there are no lumps remaining. Mix in the gelatin.
  • Gently stir in the rest of the carbonated water, being careful to keep as much carbonation in it as possible. Pour the mixture into your ring mold or an attractive serving bowl.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • To serve, unmold onto a platter or serve in the bowl garnished with fresh whipped cream and berries if desired.
