In honor of National Ice Cream Day (yes, it's a thing!), I made one of my favorite flavoring of ice cream. Plus, it's one of the lowest carb ice creams that I have made before. It's almost pure fat - and it tastes fantastic to boot. The flavors of the brown butter and heavy cream come together to form an almost caramel type flavor. If you're familiar with the keto caramel recipe, then you'll see that this one has some similarities. You brown the butter, add cream, and mix everything ...

Butterscotch Sea Salt Ice Cream
My girlfriend's favorite flavor of ice cream is Salted Caramel from a local creamery here. I've really been playing around with the ideas of sweet and salty for a keto ice cream flavor to see how much more of the sweetness comes out with the salt aspect. I wanted to recreate both the texture and flavor of boutique ice cream with this butterscotch sea salt ice cream. This one definitely fits the bill. The flavors of butterscotch play perfectly with the saltiness that comes through. Though, ...

Raspberry Lemon Popsicles
Being that the weather is heating up, the humidity is rising, and it seems like some days are just too hot - these popsicles will do just the trick. We went out to the Hmong Sheboygan Summer Festival on Sunday and although tons of fun, it was really hot! Once we got home, partially drenched in sweat, I knew that I had to make something that would cool us both off. The idea of keto and popsicles usually doesn't resonate with me that well. They're normally really hard (due to the liquids) ...

Keto Mocha Ice Cream
This is one of the simplest ice cream recipes that I know of when it comes to keto. You don't have to make a custard, you don't have to freeze or refrigerate the mixture before adding it to your ice cream machine, and you don't have to wait around to temper anything. It's simply blend, add, and eat! I'm using a pretty fancy Gelato maker for this. It has a built in compressor, so it's also pretty expensive. My girlfriend picked it up a few years back on sale for around $120, which was a ...

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
I've been seeing a lot of pins on Pinterest for recipes on No Bake Oatmeal Power Bites. I wanted to create a keto friendly version, with a similar texture in mind. Because they're no bake, they're extremely simple to create and don't take much time or effort. Instead of using regular peanut butter, we opt to go with the powder due to the absorptive properties. The PB Fit powder really ties it all together, balancing the sweetness and chocolate out with a creamy and nutty flavor. The hemp ...

Cherry Chocolate Chunk Donuts
I wanted to make something extra special for Valentine's Day. This year, my girlfriend has really been craving donuts after seeing them over and over at markets, coffee shops and sports games. I decided to re-create her ultimate favorite flavor from Yo-Yo Donuts: their Cherry Chocolate Donut. They came out great! These donuts are just the perfect amount of crisp on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. If you've been missing out on chocolate, worry no more. ChocoPerfection is a ...

Peanut Butter Caramel Milkshake
If you're a sane person, then peanut butter is probably one of your guilty pleasures - I know it's one of mine. But, when we're on a ketogenic diet, we can't always grab it by the spoonful to lick it off as a snack because of the carb count. Every once in a while, though, I get a huge craving for peanut butter and have to make something that'll combat it. So, since I've been on a smoothie/milkshake stint lately, I decided to put together something I know you'd all love. You can also sub out ...
