Combining the ingredients together in a mug and saucepan

Heavy Cream – I like to add in healthy fats by including a portion of heavy cream. If you’d prefer for the healthy hot chocolate to be dairy free then use coconut milk instead.

Dark Chocolate – include keto friendly hot chocolate such as 85% dark chocolate without any added sugar. You could also swap for sugar free chocolate chips if you’d prefer instead.

Extra Ingredients – you can go beyond the 3 ingredients by mixing a little stevia or your sweetener of choice through the hot chocolate for a sweeter hot chocolate or flavor with an extract such as a little bit of peppermint extract for a mint chocolate drink.

As for the toppings, you can choose to top your hot chocolate with an indulgent swirl of whipped cream or scoop of keto ice cream for an extra creamy, decadent comforting warm drink.

Keto Zucchini Casserole Recipe

August 18, 2024 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Zucchini Casserole Recipe – Easy Super Cheesy and Creamy Low Carb Bake with only 4 ingredients – with the full video tutorial.

Keto Zucchini Casserole Recipe

This keto zucchini casserole recipe makes a quick and easy side dish or main meal that’s loaded with creamy, cheesy goodness and the whole family will enjoy.

There are also plenty of ways to adapt the great recipe to your own tastes, dietary requirements and what’s easy to find at a grocery store near you.

I bought all of the ingredients at affordable ALDI, making it a brilliant budget friendly meal too.

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

Here are the 4 basic ingredients you’ll need for the easy zucchini casserole recipe, plus lots of ideas for variations:

Fresh Zucchini – I’ve included 2 fresh zucchini that are sliced up to create the base for the dish, although you can use as much zucchini as you’d like, depending on how many people you are feeding and whether the dish will be a side dish or main meal.

You can feel free to swap for any other low-carb vegetables, or include a mix of vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms or cabbage. You could also make it meaty by adding in sauteed ground beef or chicken breast.

Adding the creamy sauce ingredients to the sliced zucchini

Sour Cream – a great way to add a tangy creaminess to the creamy sauce of the main dish. You could swap for cream cheese instead if you’d prefer, which is another creamy ingredient that’s low in g net carbs.

Heavy Cream – to add luxurious creaminess to the keto diet friendly meal, heavy cream or heavy whipping cream is the perfect inclusion in the creamy cheese sauce.

Topping the baking dish with shredded cheese

Grated Cheese – plenty of shredded cheese is mixed through the casserole as well as topped before going into the oven for a golden brown, super cheesy topping that the entire family will enjoy, including picky eaters.

You can include any type of cheese you’d like such as sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Pepper Jack or Gruyere cheese.

Seasoning – I’ve left the recipe without the mention of seasoning because we adore it as it is with the flavors of the sour cream, heavy cream and cheese combining together with the zucchini.

You can feel free to add in your choice of seasoning though from sea salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder or onion powder.

Keto Zucchini Casserole Recipe

2 Fresh Zucchini
1/3 to 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1/3 to 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
2/3 to 1 Cup Grated Cheese

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and get out an over proof baking dish.
Wash, trim and slice the zucchini into bite sized pieces, them move the zucchini slices to the baking dish.
Add the sour cream and heavy cream, toss well to combine with the sliced zucchinis, then add in half of the grated cheese, mixing through to incorporate.
Top with the remaining cheese, or more, to cover, then place into the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Serve the delicious dish immediately, storing any cooled to room temperature leftovers in an airtight container to enjoy within a day.

Chocolate Mousse With Coconut Milk

July 27, 2024 by Easy Keto Living

Chocolate Mousse With Coconut Milk Recipe – How to make the best easy creamy 3 ingredient low carb, keto, sugar free, dairy-free pudding dessert – with the full video tutorial.

Chocolate Mousse With Coconut Milk

This chocolate mousse with coconut milk makes a super quick and easy sweet treat that’s keto, low carb, sugar free and dairy free friendly too.

The best part is that you only need 3 ingredients to create the creamy mousse that will satisfy your sweet tooth and chocolate cravings, while helping you on your way to achieving your own personal health and weight loss goals.

You’ll find that the dessert doesn’t have a strong coconut flavor, with the cocoa powder and stevia working perfectly to create the flavors of a traditional mousse.

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

Whisking the 3 keto simple ingredients for the easy recipe together

Here are the handful of ingredients that you’ll need for the effortless dessert, as well as good substitute ideas for extra ingredients to adapt the chocolate treat if you’d like.

Canned Coconut Milk – when you pop a can of coconut milk into the fridge and leave it overnight, it separates into two layers – coconut cream on top and coconut water on the bottom.

The coconut cream on top is what’s used as a heavy cream substitute in the dairy-free recipe to whip into perfectly creamy and rich whipped cream that the chocolate and stevia are blended into to form the fluffy mousse.

You can save the watery liquid that’s left at the bottom of the can to blend into smoothies and shakes. Ensure that you use unsweetened coconut milk that you’ll find at grocery stores, so you don’t include any added sugar in the carb count.

Cocoa Powder – to achieve the rich, chocolate flavor in the indulgent dessert, add on 2 tablespoons or more of cocoa powder or cacao powder.

Stevia – to keep the dessert low in grams of net carbs, stevia is used to sweet the mousse. You can swap for your low carb sweetener of choice such as monk fruit sweetener, powdered sugar alternative or an erythritol blend instead.

The whisked quick easy keto decadent dessert

The recipe suggests 2 tablespoons each of cocoa powder and stevia, I’d suggest start with the 2 of each, then taste and if you’d prefer a mousse that has a richer chocolate flavor add more cocoa powder, or if you’d prefer a sweeter mousse, add more stevia to satisfy your taste buds perfectly.

Flavor – you can adapt the flavor of the elegant dessert by adding a little vanilla extract or a half to a teaspoon of one of the following extract flavors: orange extract, coconut extract or raspberry extract.

Toppings – there are plenty delicious options to top your chocolate coconut mousse with that will further satisfy your sweet craving while being ketogenic diet friendly, such as topping with dark chocolate shavings, dark chocolate chips, fresh berries, shredded coconut, vegan ice cream or whipped cream.

How to make keto chocolate mousse with coconut milk

Chocolate Mousse With Coconut Milk Recipe

1 Can Full-Fat Coconut Milk
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
2 Tablespoons Stevia

Place the can of full fat coconut milk into the fridge overnight to separate into coconut cream and water.
The following day, remove the can from the fridge, open it up and carefully remove the thickened coconut cream from the top of the can and place it into a large bowl, saving the watery liquid at the bottom of the can to use in smoothies or shakes.
Using an electric mixer, hand mixer or a whisk attachment, blend the coconut cream until it becomes soft, thick cream.
Add the cocoa powder and stevia to the whipped coconut cream, then whisk again to fully incorporate and you have a creamy dark chocolate mousse.
Move the move to a serving bowl or ramekins and enjoy straight away or move to the fridge for a few hours or overnight to thicken and store any leftover mousse in an airtight container.

Scrambled Eggs With Cream Cheese Recipe

July 23, 2024 by Easy Keto Living

Scrambled Eggs With Cream Cheese Recipe – How to make a quick and easy creamy low carb high protein keto friendly breakfast idea – with the video tutorial.

Scrambled Eggs With Cream Cheese

These scrambled eggs with cream cheese make an easy, creamy and super quick breakfast that’s low carb, high protein and keto friendly.

You’ll discover that whisking rich cream cheese into a scrambled egg mixture is the best way to create super creamy eggs that are an indulgent way to start your day, while helping you stay on plan to achieve your own personal health and weight loss goals.

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

Cooking the low carb high protein breakfast

Here are all of the basic low-carb diet ingredients that you’ll need for the simple recipe:

Large Eggs – include 2-3 eggs per person, depending on how many eggs you usually like in your soft eggs meals.

Cream Cheese – the luxuriously creamy ingredient is naturally low in carbs and high in healthy g fat and g protein. You can swap some or all of the cream cheese for sour cream or heavy cream, depending on what you have in your kitchen, and still achieve eggs with a creamy texture.

Seasoning – sprinkle eggs with salt, black pepper or your seasoning of choice such as garlic powder, onion powder or even Italian seasoning.

Adding spinach into the easy keto breakfast

Spinach – to make the dish into a whole, balance meal and balance the richness of the other ingredients, I’ve added in a handful of nutritious spinach in the last minute of cooking. You can swap for a little chopped green onion or chives if you’d prefer.

You could also add in more low carb vegetables such as chopped cherry tomatoes, red pepper, mushrooms or avocado, cooking the vegetables if you’d prefer before you cook the eggs.

More Cheese – in addition to the cream cheese in the eggs, you can crumble a little bit of feta cheese or grate over parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack for extra cheesy eggs.

Scrambled Eggs With Cream Cheese Recipe

2-3 Large Eggs
1/2 to 1 Tablespoon Cream Cheese
Handful of Spinach, washed
Salt, Black Pepper & Seasoning, to taste
Olive Oil, Coconut Oil or Butter, for frying

Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan on the stove top over medium heat to high heat and melt butter or oil.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add in the 1/2 to 1 Tbsp cream cheese, salt, black pepper and any other seasoning you’d like.

Keto Coconut Cookies Recipe

July 14, 2024 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Coconut Cookies Recipe – How To Make The Best Easy Low Carb Sugar Free Macaroons Treat with only 4 ingredients – with the video tutorial.

Keto Coconut Cookies

These keto coconut cookies taste like a cross between meringues and coconut macaroons, yet are so simple to make. (And have only 4 ingredients!)

The best part is that the sweet treat is naturally low in g net carbs and make the perfect option to satisfy your sweet tooth while helping you to stay on track to achieve your own personal health and weight loss goals.

You can make these cookies over the weekend to have ready and waiting for you to grab as a sweet keto treat through the week, or make a double batch to enjoy over the holiday season so that you have plenty of keto friendly treats and aren’t tempted to stray from your low carb plan.

The Simple Recipe Ingredients

Here are the keto diet friendly ingredients that you’ll need for the easy recipe:

Egg White – you only need one egg white to create the easy cookies, I like to save the egg yolk to throw into omelette or scrambled eggs batter, so that nothing goes to waste.

Stevia – blend through your sugar substitute of choice, adding as little or as much as you like, depending on how sweet you usually like your sugar free cookies. You can include stevia, monk fruit sweetener or your sweetener of choice.

Vanilla Extract – you can leave the vanilla extract out of the wet ingredients if you’d prefer to create 3 ingredients cookies, I find that vanilla boosts the flavor and makes the cookies simply irresistible.

Coconut – for the coconut flavor in the cookies, I’ve folded through desiccated coconut, although you can feel free to swap for shredded coconut or unsweetened coconut flakes that you shred in a food processor to become a finer consistency.

Chocolate Option – make chocolate coconut cookies by blending a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder through the dough when you’re adding the sweetener, top the cookies with sugar free chocolate chips before baking or drizzle a little melted dark chocolate chips over the cookies once baked and cooled.

How to make easy keto cookies with coconut

Keto Coconut Cookies Recipe

1 Egg White
1/4-1/3 Cup Stevia
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Desiccated Coconut

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a baking tray with well greased baking parchment paper.
Place the egg white into a large bowl and whisk, using an electric mixer, until it thickens.
Add in the stevia and whisk through until fully combined, then add in the vanilla extract and give the mixture a final whisk until you have a thickened, glossy meringue mixture.
Fold the coconut through the whisked egg white until a cookie dough forms.
Drop a teaspoon per cookie of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, then move it to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool to room temperature before carefully removing from the baking tray, storing the cooled cookies in an airtight container or cookie jar to enjoy within a couple of days.

Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff Recipe

July 7, 2024 by Easy Keto Living

Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff Recipe – How to make an easy 4 ingredient low carb keto friendly dessert – with the video tutorial.

Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff

A creamy strawberry cheesecake fluff dessert is the perfect way to make the most of fresh strawberries and satisfy your sweet tooth with an indulgent treat that’s quick and easy to prepare.

This dessert is just like a popular strawberry fluff salad that you could serve at a dinner party, potluck, summer BBQ or picnic, but made keto approved by swapping the sugar for stevia and using much less strawberries than a classic fluff salad.

The best part is that you only need 4 ingredients and you can make the dessert as sweet or as packed full of strawberries as you’d like.

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Dessert

Here are the keto friendly ingredients that you’ll need for the easy recipe:

Heavy Cream – you can use pouring cream, heavy cream, heavy whipping cream, double cream or any other cream that you can whip into soft peaks in the dessert to give it a super fluffy texture.

Cream Cheese – creamy, luxurious cream cheese is used to provide a mouthwatering cheesecake element to the creamy dessert, without the need to prepare a whole cheesecake from scratch.

Other Cream Ingredients – you can feel free to swap some of the heavy cream or cream cheese for another creamy ingredient, depending on what you have available and your tastes, choose from whisking through a little Greek yogurt, vanilla yogurt, mascarpone cheese or ricotta cheese.

Folding the fresh strawberries into the easy dessert

Stevia – you can add in as much sweetener as you’d like to create your perfect dessert sweetness, adding in the low carb keto friendly sweetener that you usually include in dessert recipes such as stevia or monk fruit sweetener.

Strawberries – for best results, I like to incorporate fresh berries into the dessert in multiple ways – by blending chopped strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, folding in some and then topping the serving bowl with even more berries, so you enjoy a berry burst in every mouthful.

You can use juicy strawberries as I have done or swap for your favorite berries such as raspberries, blackberries or blueberries instead.

Spoon of low carb keto strawberry cheesecake fluff dessert

Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff Recipe

1 Cup Heavy Cream
200g/7oz Softened Cream Cheese
2-4 Tablespoons Stevia
1/2 to 1 Cup Strawberries

Pour the heavy cream into a large bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until starting to thicken to stiff peaks of whipped cream.
Add the softened cream cheese and stevia into the large mixing bowl and whisk again with the electric hand mixer until fully combined, thick and creamy.
Slice up as many strawberries as you’d like to include in the delicious dessert and then blend some of the sliced strawberries through the cream cheese mixture and fold most of the rest of the strawberries through the dessert.
Move the great dessert to a serving bowl and top with any remaining strawberries, serve straight away or place in the fridge for a few hours to thicken, then enjoy within 24 hours, storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
