I usually never have a sweet tooth, but today it was out in full force. I was craving coconut cream pie… badly! I didn’t want to make a whole pie, so I figured making individual sizes in ramekins would be best and they turned out amazing. The hardest part about this recipe was the custard. I tried making a slurry (thickener) using coconut flour instead of using xanthan gum. I figured not only would the flour thicken the custard, but it would also give it a bit more of a coconut ...
Low Carb Coconut Chip Cookies
August 8, 2017 by 3 Comments
These cookies are a great addition to anyone's rotation of desserts. The coconut and cacao nibs add a fantastic crunchy, chewy, texture. These cookies have plenty of micronutrients, including magnesium which is a fantastic natural way to combat chocolate cravings. Cacao nibs come from the seeds of the fruit of the cacao tree, usually roasted and taken out of their husks. They may sound sweet and soft, but they're quite bitter and crunchy. They're loaded with magnesium which makes them a great ...

Coconut Chocolate Fat Bombs
July 20, 2017 by 2 Comments
These creamy, chocolatey keto fat bomb mousse cakes are decadent and have an awesome coconut twist. If you like coconut rough chocolate then you are sure to like these. They are guaranteed to satisfy any chocolate craving and one of the nicest ways I have found to increase my fat intake at 93% fat and about 2.5 net carbs per serving. I make these in my mini muffin tins using silicone cups but you don’t necessarily need the silicone wrappers. It just makes them easier to remove. I use a ...

Coconut Peanut Butter Balls
July 13, 2017 by 11 Comments
Got that sweet tooth that you just can’t satisfy? You probably can with these peanut butter balls! They taste exactly like a peanut butter cup...except no sugar! For this recipe, it’s best to use a powdered sugar substitute otherwise you will taste granules. I used powdered erythritol, but you can substitute this with xylitol. If it’s not powdered, you can always stick it in a food processor or blender and make a powder that way. Now while this recipe is super easy, it’s also very ...

Toasted Coconut Lemon Squares
June 29, 2017 by 17 Comments
Summer is in full swing, for me anyway, and there are very few recipes that I am willing to crank up my oven and sweat it out just for something sweet. These keto fat bomb lemon squares are one of those recipes. Not just because lemon squares (aka lemon bars) are a beloved dessert staple that has transcended time and potlucks everywhere, but because these are Toasted Coconut Lemon Squares and everyone knows that the sweet and salty crunch of coconut makes everything better. Traditional ...

Sopapilla Cheesecake
May 16, 2017 by 11 Comments
Here's an easy, low-carb, sopapilla cheesecake! Instead of a traditional crust, we will substitute a pork rind based dough. This means that you don't have to blind bake a pie crust. You can pan-fry the layers instead. Then this dessert gets layered with a quick cheesecake. It's topped with another layer of pan-fried dough, then a generous dusting of cinnamon and erythritol. I think you'll love serving this dessert with a nice cup of hot coffee. You will need about 30 minutes to create ...

Keto Gelatin Rum Shots
April 27, 2017 by Leave a Comment
These little cups of fun may look sweet an unassuming, but they pack quite a punch! These are fun to make for parties, but unlike other gelled shots you may run into at the celebration - they are made with erythritol instead of sugar. The ones pictured are 2 ounce shots because of the size cups I used. You can also find 1 ounce cups and extend the recipe to 20 servings. Not a fan of rum? Feel free to substitute other low carb alcohol types. Check out our article on keto friendly ...

Keto Matcha Roll Cake
April 20, 2017 by 8 Comments
This dense, but delicate, matcha cake is filled with sweetened whipped cream. This dessert has spring flavor rolled up in each bite! The verdant green and crisp white swirl looks beautiful served with fresh raspberries. The whipped cream filling is stabilized with gelatin, so the cake can be held in the fridge for serving after a meal. I've kept this cake in the fridge overnight with no weeping or deflated cream. I think it's best when served the same day though. Just be cautious not to ...
