A classic Vietnamese favorite - pandan waffles- made into a low carb version! Keto waffle batter is flavored with pandan extract and then cooked until GBD (golden brown and delicious). The brown exterior gives way to a bright green center that is soft and moist. Top the final pandan waffles with a sprinkling of powdered erythritol to make it pretty. Serve it nice and hot, just like the street vendors would! You can find pandan extract at your local Asian market. Pandan extract is sold on large online retailers like Amazon. Pandan extract has a light, almost green tea/almond flavor. It is very nice and subtle. Not to mention, the color is stunning! Keto waffles are very delicate! The trick is to ignore the light on the waffle iron that signals that the waffle is done cooking (because it will not be done). Place the waffle iron on medium heat. Spray the waffle iron very generously with a high temp cooking spray (like a grill version). Place the batter into the iron and allow it to cook for 6-7 minutes. Very, very gently begin to open the iron and make sure the waffle starts to release from the iron. If not, use a butter knife to help to pull it off the waffle iron before opening the waffle iron all the way. If you open the waffle iron before the waffle is finished cooking, it will split in two. Serve Low Carb Pandan waffles with other Vietnamese dishes like Keto Caramelized Fish.

Our Spiced ")Apple(" Crisp makes the perfect Keto Christmas dessert. Chayote squash may sound strange as an apple replacement, but it holds up nicely to the baking process and takes on any flavor you add to it. We have added sweetener, cinnamon, ground cardamom, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the diced squash. To thicken the mixture, we have added grass-fed gelatin. The mixture is scooped into a baking dish and then topped with a pecan crumble flavored with butter, sweetener, and salt. The final baked dessert is amazing served slightly warm with a scoop of Keto vanilla ice cream. Yes, feel free to substitute the chayote squash with zucchini instead. The zucchini will yield a softer texture but will pick up flavors well too. If you are going a Paleo route, feel free to use apples for a more low carb version. For Paleo, also substitute the butter for ghee or coconut oil. If you are sensitive to different spices, feel free to leave them out or add your favorite ones. Other good spices to add would be ground cloves, freshly grated nutmeg, or ground ginger. To make the ultimate pairing, serve our Keto Spiced ")Apple(" Crisp with other Keto Christmas recipes like Keto Christmas Cake: https://www.carbmanager.com/recipe-detail/ug:26f8e9e5-5e0e-7f64-2250-e0562567de21/keto-christmas-cake

This Keto flourless chocolate cake is so good, you'll never want regular chocolate cake again! Perfect for those on the Keto diet or anyone who loves a rich, decadent dessert. It closely resembles classic flourless chocolate cake with two minor adjustments: 100% dark chocolate replaces bittersweet, and a Keto sweetener substitutes sugar. By following the directions carefully, you'll achieve a flawlessly clean slice every time. Each bite is dense, tender, and incredibly rich, making you wonder why flour was ever necessary in chocolate cake. This recipe uses a water bath to ensure even baking and a soft texture. The cake pan is lined with parchment paper and foil and placed on a rimmed sheet tray. The water bath distributes temperature, prevents burning, and creates steam in the oven. Coffee is added to enhance the chocolate flavor, similar to vanilla extract. However, it's crucial to use cooled coffee to avoid cooking the eggs or damaging the chocolate base. Whether you have iced black coffee, cold brew, or coffee cooled to room temperature, any will work!
This vegetarian and Keto take on ",pigs in a blanket" is possibly better than the original! Your favorite brand of gherkin pickles is wrapped in Keto fathead dough. Then, each pickle in a blanket is brushed with butter and low-carb barbecue sauce and topped with a pinch of onion powder. When they're baked in your oven, the pickles are tender enough to get a juicy bite out of but crisp enough to still get a crunch. The Keto fathead dough is flakey and super buttery, and it makes the perfect blanket for your snack. Enjoy these as-is for your Keto snack or add them to a meal as a side dish. You can even increase the recipe yield to feed a crowd because everyone will love them! You can store the finished pickles in a blanket in your refrigerator for up to 5 days and simply microwave them when you want to reheat them. This Keto recipe allows you to choose your favorite brand and style of barbecue sauce. However, you'll need to stay within some guidelines. Avoid all flavors that imply sugar in the title, such as brown sugar or honey-flavored barbecue sauces. Stick to flavors that use 'hickory' or 'mesquite' in the title, which will have fewer carbohydrates. Try to use a barbecue sauce that doesn't add more than 7 grams of carbs per tablespoon. You can also choose your favorite brand and style of gherkin pickle for this Keto snack recipe! Similar to the barbecue sauce guidelines, you'll need to avoid some flavors. Again, anything that implies sugar in the title should be avoided. "Bread and butter" style pickles should be noted to also be higher in sugar. Most gherkin pickles will be processed with vinegar and an assortment of pickling spices, which won't increase your carbohydrates. Jessica L.
