Keto Butter Pecan Mousse.  If you like butter pecan ice cream you are going to love this low carb keto butter pecan mousse. Let’s face it, just about every can of anything available today is not the right size anymore for many traditional recipes.  A can of pumpkin that used to be 16 oz. is now 15 oz. and the next thing you know they will be 14 or 14½ oz.  Certainly the larger cans are even worse.  Instead of doubling 15 oz. they are only…29 oz.  Yikes, what the heck do you do with the leftovers after making a Crustless Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie?  Well, my answer is to make this Keto Butter Pecan Mousse.  It has virtually no carbs and is delicious.

When I was a little girl my favorite ice cream flavor was butter pecan.  I don’t really know that it was my favorite but it was what my dad ate and I wanted to be just like my dad. If the truth be known, and sometimes it is hard to tell it, when I whipped up this little dandy…I forget to throw in the spices and guess what…I didn’t even notice it until I was looking at my handwritten list.  And you know what else?  It is absolutely delicious without them and without the spices, but with the Sugar-Free Maple Syrup it actually looks and tastes (at least to me) just like butter pecan ice cream.  If you believe in divine intervention, this is one of those times. So, the spices, put ‘em in or leave ‘em out, no biggie.  From the time I started this until I put into the glass containers was about 20 minutes.

  1. ¾ C Left-Over Pumpkin Purée
  2. 6 Oz Softened Cream Cheese
  3. ¼ C Sour Cream
  4. ¼ C Allulose***
  5. ½ C Heavy Whipping Cream
  6. ¼ t Vanilla Extract
  7. 3 Drops EZ Sweetz***
  8. ¾ C Toasted Pecans
  9. SugarFree Maple Syrup***
  10. 1 t Cinnamon (Optional)
  11. ¼ t Ground Ginger (Optional)
  12. ⅛ t Ground Cloves (Optional)
  13. ⅛ t Mace Or Nutmeg (Optional)
Instructions
  1. Beat cream cheese, sour cream, and Allulose until smooth.
  2. Mix in pumpkin purée (and spices if you are using them).
  3. Whip heavy cream, add vanilla extract, and EZ Sweetz.
  4. Gently blending, add ½ whipped cream into pumpkin mixture until well incorporated. Add second ½ cream.
  5. Spoon into serving glass or bowl until ½ full, drizzle with maple syrup (if using) and top with 1 T nuts.

Notes
  1. This is definitely Not A Holidays Only Dessert. This seriously does taste like butter pecan ice cream and uh, what's wrong with that?
  2. If you opt to add the spices it will taste more like a pumpkin pie mousse…but really good.
  3. Yes, if you decide to only make this mousse you can freeze the remaining pumpkin in an ice cube tray to make it again. If some of the liquid separates, drain it well and proceed.
  4. Tip: If by chance your pumpkin (or sour cream for that matter) is particularly loose or watery this little trick will keep you mousse holding its shape. Take 2 T of cold water and sprinkle ½ t of gelatin over it. Let sit for 5 minutes, put in microwave and pulse 1-2 times for 5 seconds until it turns clear. Beat it into your whipped cream and voilà, it will certainly hold for several days in the fridge. (Like it’s ever gonna last that long).

Keto Crustless Cheesecake Pumpkin Pie

Leave a reply

Keto Crustless Cheesecake Pumpkin PieKeto Crustless Cheesecake Pumpkin PieLow Carb Crustless Cheesecake Pumpkin PieKeto Crustless Cheesecake Pumpkin PieKeto Crustless Cheesecake Pumpkin Pie.  This is the same basic recipe as my Cheesecake Pumpkin Pie…but…without a crust and it is ridiculously easy to make. This will make a 9” pie suitable for 8 people. and topped with whipped cream? Ooh la la. Yes, without a Keto Pie Crust you will save a couple of carb grams but, as I said, the great thing about this is that it is so, so easy (when you don’t drop and scramble it)-See Last Pic Above.

So, we all know stuff happened and it happened with the piece of pie on the plate.  I had taken the pic but was not ready to eat the pie so I was putting it in the fridge for later and…boop, boop, boop, it tumbled out of my hand and onto the floor.  We have the five-second rule in this house and more time if needed, and I did.  I picked it up and it was such a mess I had to put it on a larger plate and the last pic is what I eventually ate.  Taste?  Fabulous.  Want an even easier pumpkin recipe?  You might try the Butter Pecan Mousse which is made with the leftover ¾ C of pumpkin purée you will have-and don’t know what to do with.

It is a rather sad set of circumstances that I even did this recipe.  Two days before Thanksgiving a friend of mine was asking for an easy low carb recipe for pumpkin pie for a mutual (diabetic) friend of ours and I really didn’t have an answer for her as the key word was “easy”.  Of course I know the woman she was asking for and first off, you have to have the right products to make even a rudimentary pie and I didn’t have the answer until I came up with this.  I know she does not have Allulose but I could easily enough suggest erythritol and she would be good to go.  There are reasons I do not use erythritol but certainly in the case of a big time diabetic I would suggest it.  So this keto crustless cheesecake pumpkin pie is for Libby (no relation to Libby Pumpkin Purée). If you are looking for that full experience with the a Keto Pie Crust Included here it is.

Low Carb Asian Lime Fish Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish Sauce.  Originally this sauce was used to dip thinly sliced Pork Loin Roast into. I now also use low carb Asian lime fish sauce as a salad dressing along with several other things so I am posting it as a stand alone recipe.  With a little olive oil I love it as a salad dressing and anything else you might think of to dip into it.  Cucumbers? Yep. Steak? Shrimp? Oh My. Try it.  Another little trick I have learned along the way is using Persian limes instead of the old standby ones everybody uses.  They seem a bit smaller to me but they actually have more juice in them.  I have reamed a lot of lemons and limes in my day and because these have a thinner rind there is more room for juice. Anyway I’m just sayin…

Low Carb African Peanut Soup

Low Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut SoupLow Carb African Peanut Soup.  I probably do not have enough soup recipes on this site but this one is a dandy.  There are no hints of any sweetness in it as I have substituted daikon radish for high carby sweet potatoes but don’t kid yourself…This. Is. Good.  The bottom right picture is the same bowl of soup as above only with the addition of za’atar and black seeds (no not black sesame seeds)-these are a totally different and healthy animal all together. I love, love, love the combination and they can also be seen on the Eggplant Soup as well as on the salad with Lemon Tahini Mint Salad Dressing.  Once you have used them, I doubt you would ever give them up.  If you are interested, you can read more here: The Blessed Seed and they are both readily available in almost any Middle-Eastern Grocery so, for a terrific taste of Africa you may want to try this low carb African Peanut Soup.

Low Carb Shrimp Étouffée

Leave a reply

Low Carb Shrimp ÉtoufféeLow Carb Shrimp ÉtoufféeLow Carb Shrimp Étouffée.  Ah Yes, Étouffée.  Another Louisiana classic.  There are always alternatives to a high carby roux and we are going to kind of go the in-between route here in that I am not using any flour but I am using tomato paste.  Many an expert you might care to name, says a good low carb shrimp étouffée is not only made with, duh shrimp, but also with a stock made from the shells and this couldn’t be easier as you’ll see in the directions below. Since we are not making a roux there is no laborious stirring and waiting for it to turn dark brown.  We are also not using traditional rice but instead using either riced cauliflower or a Cauliflower Grits recipe which can easily be made days in advance and frozen for later use.

Some of you may look at the list of ingredients here but I would bet most of you have them in your pantries.  Including making the stock, from start to finish, it takes only about 1½-2 hours and that’s while you can be doing other things.  Once you have made it you may say; that was really easy-everybody loved it so…I think I’ll make that low carb shrimp étouffée again.

Keto Asian Beef Stew

Keto Asian Beef StewKeto Asian Beef StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewLow Carb Asian Beef Eggplant Zucchini StewKeto Asian Beef Stew.  Now you can call this a stew or you can call this a soup but whatever you call it, it is good, hearty, and healthy.  Depending on how you spice this you can eat in Italy, Japan, Thailand, China and yes even in America.

I personally like the flavors of Asia so that is what we are doing here and if this is successful, I may post the same recipe using different spices and adding other ingredients.  This Keto Asian Beef Stew is very easy to make assuming you have the spices and get yourself some mung bean sprouts.  Yes, I garnished mine with a few enoki mushrooms but it is absolutely not necessary.  If you decide to use them they take about 15-20 seconds in a tiny amount of steaming water to cook.  I added some fried garlic and green onions in olive oil to the enokis I had left over and they were terrific with a rather sweetish flavor.

Keto Mint Caper Sauce

Low Carb Mint Caper SauceLow Carb Mint Caper SauceKeto Mint Caper Sauce.  I’ve not made it a secret that I love, love, love lamb and that I am always looking for a new sauce to go with it.  We have a new grocery store here in Portland and I have been buying most of my meats there now because 1.) It is all Willamette Valley Grass Fed Organic and 2.) It is by far, less expensive than the New Seasons store I have been shopping in for the last 13 years.  Thus far EVERYTHING I have purchased from them has been fantastic and I feel fortunate in that they are nearly in my backyard. As we know Portland, OR is a pretty good size city. I bought ½ lb. of ground lamb which I love all by itself but I thought it might be fun to try a new sauce with it.  The keto mint caper sauce below is not anything unique but it is different. Here are several other lamb sauces you might try:  A more traditional Low Carb Mint Sauce and an absolutely wonderful Garlic Rosemary Aioli.  All three of these recipes are really good with lamb and all three recipes feature lamb in their pictures.  Did I say I LOVE lamb?

Keto Ethiopian Cabbage

Leave a reply

Low Carb Ethiopian CabbageLow Carb Ethiopian CabbageLow Carb Ethiopian CabbageKeto Ethiopian Cabbage.  I had my first Ethiopian dining experience the other day and it was a dandy.  I shared the plate to the right with someone and it was literally to die for.  Small dribs and drabs of this & that all on top of Ethiopian bread made with teff, which to my knowledge, is the highest carb grain there is.  It was all spectacular but the thing that struck me the most was the cabbage. It was creamy and rich and for whatever reason and I do not know why, it did not have any potatoes in it which would be traditional.  And in case you’re curious, no, neither of us ate the bread.  This is very easy to make and you can be doing other things while it simmers.  As you can see, you can sub daikon radishes for potatoes nearly every time.

Started out and had planned to make about 4 servings of keto Ethiopian cabbage and you know what they say about the best laid plans…so, the recipe is for eight people but…you will wish you had even more of it.  Those little pie shaped thingies are thinly sliced daikon radish rounds.

  2. Daikon is best sliced on a mandoline and then depending on rounds cut into either four or six wedges.
  3. If you want to add ¼ C of heavy cream the last 10 minutes of simmering it may make it a bit creamier but oh Lordy, it already is creamy.

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

Leave a reply

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.

Keto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies

Leave a reply

Low Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesLow Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesLow Carb Tahini Almond Butter Walnut BrowniesKeto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies. I have, over the last eight years, tried more than several “supposed” low carb “moist brownies” only to be sadly disappointed one more time.  A while ago I posted a Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Balls cookie recipe using this exact same batter and the cookies, if not over done, were like fudge in the center. Thinking if the cookies were so fudgy what if I tried the same batter for brownies.  Did it work…Oh yeah, it sure did. The only other brownie recipe you will find on this site are Mocha Zucchini Brownies-Mocha Ganache but the reason these Keto Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies might be so much better is that it is a dump & mix recipe and there are not many of them unless you do some kind of boxed mix. (Ugh)  This was just the first time I tried making these but the next time (if there is one) I am going to put the coffee ganache on them instead of the plain ole ganache I made.  I hope you can tell from the picture above how seriously moist these look because they are as stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth as any other really good brownie and I think the secret is all the oils in almond butter and tahini, I mean, come on. I believe these low carb tahini almond butter walnut brownies are absolutely the best.

I did make a batch of mocha brownies so I added a couple more pics.  Notice the nooks & crannies after baking which are filled with the ganache and I also allowed the ganache to drip over the edges which in my opinion keeps these moist brownies even more so.

Tahini Almond Butter Walnut Brownies
Print
Brownies
  1. ½ C Almond Butter
  2. ½ C Tahini
  3. 2 Eggs
  4. 2 T Cocoa Powder
  5. 2 T Peanut Flour***
  6. 2 T Water
  7. 1 T Melted Butter
  8. 1 C Allulose***
  9. 2 t Vanilla
  10. 1 t Baking Soda
  11. ½ C Chopped Walnuts
Ganache
  1. ½ C 40% Heavy Cream
  2. ⅓ C Good Chocolate Bar Cut Into Small Pieces.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Minus the walnuts dump everything else into a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine with an electric mixer.
  3. Fold in nuts.
  4. This batter is so thick you will need to push it into a paper lined 8x8 pan with a couple of fingers.
  5. Bake 12-13 minutes and no longer. You can’t tell that they are done but better a bit under-done than a bit over-done if you want them to be fudgy.
Ganache
  1. Heat heavy cream to simmer and keep your eyes on it-you don't want to boil it or you will have a huge mess on your hands.
  2. I put my chocolate into the microwave on med-low for 20 sec, stir, and repeat until it is just beginning to melt.
  3. Add hot heavy cream to chocolate and stir constantly until all chocolate is melted and incorporated.
  4. Let brownies cool just a bit, cover & spread with ganache and cool in the refrigrator until ganache is set.
  5. Carefully lift brownies out of pan, cut & serve. You're in for a treat.

Notes
  1. I used Endangered Species 88% chocolate bar in my ganache.
  2. Notice that the fat content is 195 of the 233 calories. That's 84% Fat.
  3. If you want mocha brownies add ½ t instant coffee to mix and then add 1 t to ganache. I also added 2 drops EZSweetz into ganache with the coffee.
  4. CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
  5. I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.

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.
