Keto Crepes Suzette

Keto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes Suzette.  Somewhere in one of the many recipes on this site I talked about having worked for the Broker Restaurants, a group of restaurants in Denver.  Mine was the Continental and it was the only one that did table-side cooking and yes, I wanted to increase my tips so when Eugene, our Maître d’ was busy, I would step in and do table-side for the other wait staff. One of the fancy dancy desserts we did was Crepes Suzette. Remembering that this was in the mid 70’s, a fully prepared table-side dinner was only between $9-$10. The crepes suzette was about $3. and that was a fortune back then. Whoa, those really were the good old days. Think of this; I lived up into the mountains, about a 50 minute drive, and sometimes had to work a split shift which meant a 2-3 hour afternoon break. I couldn’t go home & come back because the drive was too long but guess what I did get to do.

I went next door to the original Cherry Creek hole-in-the-wall (yeah only 950’ ft on 2 floors) Tattered Cover Bookstore and settled into the dreamworld that is books. Now, I would liken the Tattered Cover to Powell’s Books here in Portland, and Strand Bookstore in New York City. They are all three huge, they are iconic, and they are all independently owned and are NOT Amazon.

So, I have been a bit long winded and the keto crepes suzette recipe is so small and easy it’s ridiculous.  You will need a recipe for Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crepes to finish the dish.

Low Carb Beef Fajita CrêpesLow Carb Beef Fajita CrêpesLow Carb Beef Fajita CrêpesLow Carb Beef Fajita CrêpesLow Carb Beef Fajita Crêpes. So, if you can have Low Carb Fajitas on a large cheese tortilla why couldn’t you have it inside a zero carb crepe?  I hope this is proof that you can.  All the flavor and none of the carbs in a flour tortilla and they are very easy to make.  If you happen to end up with any  of the meat-pepper mix, it makes a terrific breakfast with an egg or two on top and if truth be told, I try to always make a little extra to have a couple of days later for dinner.  You will need one recipe of 12 Flaxseed Meal Crêpes for your low carb beef fajita crepes.

Keto Spinach Mushroom Bacon Crêpes

Low Carb Spinach Mushroom Bacon CrêpesLow Carb Spinach Mushroom Bacon CrêpesLow Carb Spinach Mushroom Bacon CrêpesKeto Spinach Mushroom Bacon Crêpes.  I am having so much fun doing this series of crêpe recipes, I can’t even tell you.  Not only do I make them, I get to eat them- so, it’s a best of both worlds kind of scenario.  The combination of ingredients in these particular crêpes is that of a good quiche so maybe, since real men don’t eat quiche-you can get them to eat these. You will need one recipe of 12 Flaxseed Meal Crêpes to make these keto spinach mushroom bacon crêpes.

I have quite a few new crêpes recipes now and to see a few of them check these out too.  Crab Rangoon Bundles With Asian Drizzle,  Strawberry Orange Crêpes  and there are now many more-some savory and some for dessert.

Keto Beef Burrito Crêpes

Keto Beef Burrito CrêpesKeto Beef Burrito Crêpes.  These Burrito crêpes are a very quick dinner and always a hit with children.  One of the great things about kids is when they are young they don’t have any preconceived ideas about the way something should be or look.  Think about this; if keto beef burrito crepes were the first ones they had ever had, they might think Taco Bell’s burritos were a little strange so…context is everything.  These are very easy to make even if you don’t have any of what you see on the plate.  I served mine with Pico de Gallo,  Creamy Smooth Guacamole and sour cream and of course these items can also be purchase at you local grocery store.  The Flaxseed Meal Crêpes are zero carb which makes the burritos nearly zero carb too. To make your low carb beef burrito crêpes you will need one recipe of the crêpes.  I also of course used my own Taco Seasoning but you may use your own or again, something you can buy in the grocery.

Low Carb Shrimp Taco Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco CrêpesLow Carb Shrimp Taco Crêpes.  All of the taste and zero carb crêpes instead of who know how many from two 6″ flour tortillas-I think maybe about 18-20g and they taste for all the world just like a good shrimp taco should taste. Hoping that you are able to see from all the crêpes recipes I have recently posted that you can put a whole lot more than just ham and cheese in them. Those white sticks in the background on the plate are jicama sticks sprinkled with lime juice and chili powder and they are so, so good.  You will need one recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes  and if you are so inclined to make your own here is a good recipe for Taco Seasoning which is so much less expensive than the purchased kind and which may have sugar in it.

Don’t make the mistake of using imitation seafood anything.  It is NOT low carb.  It is filled with starch as a binder and has 13g carbs in 3 measly oz.  I made the mistake and paid for it in my BS testing after dinner and I couldn’t figure out why and/but…now I know.

Keto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mu Shu Pork CrêpesLow Carb Mu Shu Pork CrêpesKeto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes.  I doubt there are too many people in this country who have never had either Mu Shu Pork or Peking Duck at one time or another in their lives and the predominate flavor in both is Hoisin Sauce.  In most restaurants all the ingredients are cooked in a wok, bound together with egg and served in a large bowl with a side of Chinese pancakes which is fine if that’s what you know but it is my opinion that people love to make their own food at a communal table and this is the perfect meal with which to do it.  It does not take much of each ingredient to make one crêpe and if served in small bowls on the table, each person can pick and choose their own ingredients.  And there is a big bonus, you can actually taste each flavor.  Soooo with all that said, I am going to show you two ways to fix this.  One is probably just as good as the other but the second way is…a lot faster and sometimes when we are putting a meal on the table, faster is better.

You will need a recipe for both Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and Hoisin Sauce.  It is also my opinion that once you have made both of these Keto Mu Shu Pork Crêpes recipes you will make them again and again as there are so many recipes, just on this site alone that use them, and of course you are welcome to make up your own.

I have now made a completely Separate Crepes Category for the many crêpe recipes I am developing but for now here are a few of them.  Raspberry Almond Crêpes,  Crab Rangoon Bundles/Asian Drizzle,  Chicken Enchiladas,  Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas and more.

I would normally have this concoction on one of my Low Carb Carbalose English Muffins but this is an even lower carb keto version without the Carbalose Flour.  Nearly all the same ingredients, just presented in a different form so instead of even the few carbs in the muffins there are zero in the crêpes.  They are easy to make and fun to eat to your heart’s content. I now have a whole catagory of Crêpes listed to the right.  Some are savory and some are sweet.  These Low Carb Lox And Cream Cheese Crêpes are very versatile and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and you will need a recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes.

Low Carb Cinnamon Walnut Roll Crêpes

Low Carb Cinnamon Walnut Roll CrepesLow Carb Cinnamon Walnut Roll Crêpes. If you can make Carbalose Flour Cinnamon Walnut Rolls why can’t you put the same tastes into a crepe?  Well you can.  I just love that every little bite looks like a cinnamon walnut roll.  Again, very easy and fast to make and you will need a recipe of Flaxseed Meal Crêpes.

 

It is always fun to come up with something new and this was no exception but the bottom line question is always; will they taste good.  I’m glad you asked and well yes, they do and…low carb cinnamon walnut roll crepes are a lot easier than the walnut rolls, and I mean a lot.

Cinnamon Walnut Roll Crêpes
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Recipe Flaxseed Meal Crepes
  2. 1½ C Small Chopped Walnuts (Pecans Work Just As Well)(Save A Little Nut Dust For Garnish)
  3. 2 t Cinnamon
  4. ¾ C Allulose*** 18 Drops Liquid Sucralose*** Or Your Own Favorite Sweetener
  5. 12 Oz Softened Cream Cheese (Divided )
  6. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  7. ¼ C Heavy Cream + More If Needed To Make A Thin Drizzle
Instructions
  1. Add nuts and cinnamon to a small processor and chop until relatively small. (See Picture). You don’t want to grind it just a fine chop. If you overdo it, don’t worry and the final product would probably look about the same. Reserve 2 T.
  2. Beat cream cheese, Allulose*** or 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose*** or your favorite sweetener, and vanilla.
  3. Mix in heavy cream and reserve ¼ C.
  4. Lay out crepes, smear with thin layer of the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Top with 2 T nut mixture and roll crepe.
  6. Add enough heavy cream (or water) to thin remaining ¼ C cream cheese mixture and drizzle onto crepes.
  7. Sprinkle with remaining 2 T nuts.

Notes
  1. I got so excited to try these that I didn’t get enough heavy cream as a thinning agent in the drizzle so I just kind of frosted them but for you? It should be thin enough to drizzle so if you need more heavy cream by all means use it.
  2. Hope you can see the size of the nut grind. You don’t want nut dust just very small and I have a mini processor that has a chop speed which I pulse with until I get what I want.
  3. Nutritionals include crepes.

Low Carb Strawberry Orange Crêpes

Low Carb Strawberry Orange CrêpesLow Carb Strawberry Orange Crêpes.  You’ll not see the orange in these but you sure as heck will be able to taste it.  I love crêpes and in fact I am going to try to post maybe 18-20 recipes for them.  With the advent of my Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes I can now have crêpes any which way but loose-and actually…loose too.  They can be savory as well as sweetened and yes, I like them both ways.  It’s always easier to start with the sweet stuff because it is what grabs peoples attention first but there really aren’t that many of them as most are savory and begin to think Enchiladas.  You know, I have to eat the recipes I test and I have to say, not only are these low carb strawberry orange crêpes easy to eat, they are also easy to make.

Low Carb Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas

Leave a reply

Low Carb Mushroom Ham Cheese QuesadillasLow Carb Mushroom Ham Cheese QuesadillasLow Carb Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas.  You may think that it might be kinda difficult to make these Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas low carb but you would be wrong.  There are lot of recipes on the internet but this may be the lowest carb quesadilla you will find as they are made with my Flaxseed Meal Crêpes which have virtually zero carbs in them.

They are not going to be crispy like a quesadilla made with a flour tortilla but they are crispy, can be picked up like any other quesadilla and taste great never-the-less. In fact they don’t even taste like a Mexican dish as they do not have Mexican spices or flavors of any kind so get that out of your mind. The dippings in the bowl were sour cream and a roasted red pepper aïoli made to look like Yin & Yang.  Don’t know if I nailed the food styling but this recipe is spot on.

  2. Though I didn't use them I think small shrimp might also be a great addition.

Low Carb Raspberry Almond Crêpes

Leave a reply

Low Carb Raspberry Almond CrêpesLow Carb Raspberry Almond Crêpes. You know, I had forgotten about this recipe until Jane Barthelemy of Janes Healthy Kitchen fame posted her Strawberry Crêpe Cake.  Though these low carb raspberry almond crêpes are totally different from her cake, and I had first served them almost 40 years ago in the restaurant, she did remind me of my altered version which I have now made several times and with different fruits.

I originally used ridiculously high carby, sugary almond paste but not anymore and because it has been so, so long since I have made them I really don’t remember how they tasted.  All I know is that these are very good.  You will need one recipe of the Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and then proceed to the filling.  There are quite a few ways to roll and fold crêpes so you may decide for yourself which way you think is best, they are all easy and here are three ways to fold them.

Notes
  1. Nutritionals include crêpes.
  2. A real coulis is put through a sieve and I don’t do this as it leaves so very little sauce and seriously, there is nothing wrong with eating the seeds.
  3. A diluted sugar-free jam may also be used and saves making your drizzle from scratch. Actually this is what I do as it is far less expensive than using fresh raspberries. If you don’t care about using any fresh raspberries you can use the jam throughout the recipe.
  4. For the picture I did use fresh raspberries throughout.

Keto Tiramisu Torta

5 Replies

Keto Tiramisu TortaKeto Tiramisu Torta. With my chefy background I went into the kitchen one Sunday with the express intent of making this Keto Tiramisu Torta. It has been on my mind for a while but until I got the crepes posted I couldn’t try the recipe. Tiramisu (the high carby version) had long been a favorite dessert of mine and I have not eaten it in years. There are times in our lives that call for a punt and this keto tiramisu torta dessert is one of them. We don’t eat lady fingers and we don’t eat sugar but we can still love tiramisu so…we are punting.  Since tiramisu calls for ladyfingers dipped into coffee we are going to put the coffee into the Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and you will need one recipe (12) of these. If you are interested in a higher protein Keto Tiramisu Torta then it can be made with Keto Pork Rind Wraps without changing the carb counts. This is so spot on and I guarantee you will love it.

The picture is not mine but this is exactly what it looks like. Many thanks to Chef Francisco Migoya, professor at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.  When cut, you will see 12 delicately darkened crêpes between beautiful layers of espresso Zabaglione. I’m saying it again here folks, you can do most anything with the basic crêpe recipe.  If you don’t want to go to the trouble of making the torta (and it is very easily assembled) then just stuff and roll your crepes and call it good to go. Not as pretty but just as tasty.  This low carb tiramisu torta is one of the lowest carb desserts on the site.

Ingredients
  1. 1 Recipe Flaxseed Meal Crepes
  2. 8 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  3. 2 t Espresso Powder
  4. 5 Egg Yolks
  5. ½ C Allulose
  6. ¼ C Sweet Marsala
  7. 8 Oz Softened Cream Cheese
  8. ½ C Heavy Cream Whipped
  9. 4 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  10. 1½ t Espresso Powder
  11. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  12. 1 t Sifted Cocoa Powder
Instructions
  1. To your basic Flaxseed Meal Crêpes you are going to add 8 drops of liquid Sucralose and 2 t espresso powder then proceed to make the crêpes.
  2. Beat egg yolks, allulose, & Marsala in medium metal bowl and put over very low heat beating constantly until thickened and nearly double in volume. This is basically a zabaglione. Remove from heat, keep beating until cooled a bit, and add to whipped & softened cream cheese. I use my mixer on low.
  3. Whip heavy cream. Add vanilla, sucralose, and espresso powder and whip a bit more.
  4. Blend whipped cream & cream cheese mixture making sure it is thoroughly combined.
  5. Place first crêpe on a 7"-8” plate. Spread thin layer of mixture to cover crêpe.
  6. Put another crêpe on top & repeat until finished.
  7. If you have enough filling put it around the sides to encase it.
  8. Gently sift cocoa powder over top.
  9. Cover with a large mixing bowl and refrigerate at least 6 hours and overnight is even better as all flavors will mellow.
  10. Nutritionals include crêpes.

Notes
  1. Though this is an extremely low carb dessert I think you will also find it very rich. I suggest you cut this into 10 servings and if you seriously can eat more of it then do so...or...cut it in half and cut half into 5 pieces to see if you think it's enough and if not cut the other half into 4 portions.
