Irish Cream Hot Chocolate

I’ve had a bottle of Irish Cream Essence lingering in my kitchen for a while. I shared a recipe for Chocolate Mousse on my other blog and thought I’d share another Irish Cream delight right here for you.

Irish Cream Essence is handy to have on hand to be able to enjoy the delicious flavour of Baileys but without carbs. (Here’s where to find it.)

The below recipe will make one Irish Cream Hot Chocolate, for more simply double the recipe.

Start with 1/4 teaspoon of Irish Cream Essence, have a taste and add more if you want a richer taste. You could also swap out the Irish Cream Essence for another essence to flavour your hot chocolate with peppermint, orange or vanilla.

Low Carb Irish Cream Hot Chocolate

1 Cup Almond Milk (Or milk or choice)
1/4 Cup Cream
25g Dark Chocolate
1/4 teaspoon Irish Cream Essence
Whipped Cream (Optional)

Pour the cream and milk into the saucepan.
Chop the chocolate and add to the saucepan.

Heat, stirring regularly, until the hot chocolate just comes up to a simmer.
Pour into a mugand stir through the Irish cream essence.
Enjoy as is or top with (optional) whipped cream.

Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe

September 22, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe – Easy Keto Cookies With Coconut Flour, Sugar Free and Gluten Free too – Simple Low Carb Baking Recipes.

Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe

If you’re a fan of lemon sweet treats then you’re going to love these luscious keto lemon cookies. They are sweetened with stevia and flavored with real lemon zest and juice and are naturally low in net carbs. Perfect for fans of all things lemon to satisfy their sweet tooth.

If you haven’t worked with coconut flour before then you may be surprised that cookies need so little flour.

But, you’ll find that coconut flour is incredibly absorbent and that half a cup is the perfect volume for these low carb lemon cookies.

You can boost the flavor of the lemon cookie recipe by adding in half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of lemon extract, in addition to the fresh lemons, or vanilla extract or make a quick lemon glaze to cover the baked cookies with.

How To Make Keto Cookies With Coconut Flour

Preparing the delicious lemon cookies is really easy – you simply melt the butter, pour it into a large bowl and mix through the low-carb diet approved ingredients, one at a time.

Then you place the cookie dough onto a prepared baking tray before baking until golden. You can feel free to sprinkle macadamia nuts over the lemon keto cookies.

I’ve used stevia in place of regular sugar in the sugar-free cookies, but you can feel free to swap that for monk fruit sweetener, an erythritol blend, a low carb powdered sweetener such as powdered erythritol or any other sugar substitute you’d like that you usually include in delicious keto recipes.

You can enjoy the cookies as is or sandwiched together with whipped cream, cream cheese or even with chocolate whipped cream frosting. (Click here for the recipe!)

Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe

100g/3.5 ounces Unsalted Butter
1/4 Cup Stevia or Keto Sweetener of Choice
1 Egg
Zest of 1/2 Lemon
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a baking tray with greased baking parchment paper.
Melt the butter in the microwave or over a low heat in a saucepan.
When the butter has melted, pour into a heatproof large mixing bowl.
Allow to cool slightly and then whisk in the stevia, egg, lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.
Whisk until smooth and then stir through the coconut flour until you have a cookie dough.
Drop a teaspoon per cookie onto the baking sheet in a single layer and flatten slightly to create the cookies.
Place into the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the low-carb cookies from the oven, cool to room temperature and enjoy, storing any leftovers in an airtight container.

Low Carb Ice Cream Float

March 30, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Low Carb Ice Cream Float Recipe – An easy keto ice cream soda float that’s simple to make and a delight to enjoy.

Low Carb Ice Cream Float topped with whipped cream

Low Carb Ice Cream Float Recipe

I haven’t had an ice cream float since I was a kid, so I was curious to experiment with what I had in my kitchen to discover if I could create a low carb ice cream float recipe.

The results? Surprisingly simple – it’s doesn’t take much to create a fizzy, icy drink with ingredients you may already have in your kitchen.

Low Carb Fizzy Drink Ideas

In this instance I used Sparkling Water for the fizzy element. But, you could use your low carb soda of choice instead. I’ve even tried making it with Kombucha and it’s resulted in a tangy ice cream float.

What Ice Cream To Use?

I used a couple of spoonfuls of Halo Top, because that’s what I had in my freezer. I know there’s debate around whether Halo is actually low carb or not – I include a couple of spoons from time to time and don’t have any problems.

You can use whatever low carb ice cream you usually enjoy, or make your own with an ice cream maker. (Where to find one!) Simply follow your favourite ice cream recipe and substitute in the sugar with stevia and you’ll be enjoying low carb ice cream which you can then turn into a low carb ice cream float in no time!

Flavour Options

There are endless flavour options, you can go for a plain vanilla ice cream with sparkling water and add a teeny splash of vanilla extract to flavour. Or, you can go crazy and use berry ice cream and top with fresh berries.

I’ve also had success with caramel flavoured ice cream and mixing through Irish Cream Essence for a sweet and caramel/baileys flavoured low carb ice cream float. (Where to find Irish Cream Essence.)

My preference is to always top mine with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Feel free to do the same.

As you can see – the choice is yours. Mix and match to create ice cream sodas that float your boat!

Low Carb Ice Cream Float Recipe

Scoop of Low Carb Ice Cream
Sparkling Water

Place a scoop of low carb ice cream into a glass or mason jar.
Gently pour over sparkling water, it will fizz up quickly so go slow until the glass is full.
Mix through any flavourings or toppings of choice.

Keto Chocolate Mousse Recipe

March 12, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Chocolate Mousse Recipe – An easy low carb chocolate dessert pudding that’s Dairy Free and LCHF too!

Keto Chocolate Mousse Recipe

There are so many chocolate mousse variations out there. I love trying new recipes and comparing different methods of making Keto Chocolate Mousse that taste as good, if not better, than sugar loaded alternatives.

This variation comes from the latest Nigella Lawson cookbook, “At My Table“. I was looking through the cookbook to find recipes which I can easily modify to be Keto and the only swap this dairy free chocolate mousse needed was switching the sugar for Stevia. Pretty easy modification!

So I set about making my first batch to see how it tasted. And? This chocolate mousse is the stuff of dreams! It’s rich and chocolatey and perfect whether you’re keto, paleo, dairy free or just want to enjoy a decadent chocolate mousse.

Keto Chocolate Mousse in a bowl from above

A Quick Word About Ingredients – note that this recipe is made with raw eggs, so don’t feed to children, pregnant women or anyone with a weakened immunity.

The chocolate I used is 90% Dark Lindt (find it here), the higher the % the lower the carbs tends to be. You can adjust the sweetness depending on how dark the chocolate is that you use.

Keto Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Adapted from Nigella Lawson, At My Table

150g/5.2 ounces 90% Dark Chocolate (Find it here)
1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Find it here)
4 Eggs
1/4 Cup Stevia (Find it here)
Pinch of Salt

Place the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water or in your microwave to melt.
Once melted, set aside to cool and after 10 minutes stir in the extra virgin olive oil.
Separate the eggs into two bowls, with yolks in one and whites in the other.
Beat the egg whites until you have firm peaks.
Then beat the yolks, stevia and salt together.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the yolk mixture and fold together.
Finally, pour the beaten egg whites into the mixture, a third at a time and gently fold in.
Move to smaller individual or one large serving dish and refrigerate to thicken.

Bulletproof Hot Chocolate Recipe

February 2, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Bulletproof Hot Chocolate Recipe – An easy keto hot drink recipe with almond milk, heavy cream to enjoy instead of coffee.

Bulletproof Hot Chocolate Recipe

There’s been a “Bulletproof Coffee” craze happening in health circles for a while. It’s basically adding heaps of healthy fats, usually butter or coconut oil, to your coffee.

The drink is meant to help you meet your fat macros and keep you satiated, or full, until your next meal.

If you’re a coffee fan, then go ahead and enjoy Bulletproof Coffee. If, however, you’re after a change or coffee is not one of your favourite things. (Or, like me – you like coffee but it doesn’t like you!)

Then, give Keto Bulletproof Hot Chocolate a go. You get to enjoy a warming drink, full of healthy fats to help you meet your macros.

I incorporate Bulletproof Hot Chocolates in my diet by enjoying one in the afternoon. I then tend to intermittent fast until the next morning.

The drink is enjoyed instead of dinner and keeps me full for the whole afternoon/evening.

Yes, that’s the complete opposite of most people’s intermittent fast. A bulletproof hot chocolate or coffee is often enjoyed in the morning in place of breakfast. I tend to have mine in place of dinner instead!

However you choose to enjoy yours, you will find that the healthy fats will keep you full for hours and hours.

Bulletproof Hot Chocolate Recipe

3/4 Cup Milk of Choice
1/3 Cup Cream
1-2 Rows Dark Chocolate – at least 85% to 90%
Sweetener of choice, to taste
Optional extras – for additional fat, consider adding Butter, Coconut Oil or MCT Oil and/or topping with whipped cream

Place the milk, cream and chocolate into a small saucepan.
Slowly bring up to a simmer over low to medium heat.
As soon as the hot chocolate starts simmering, remove from the heat and pour into a mug.
Stir through sweetener and optional extras.
Top with optional whipped cream and enjoy.

Keto Strawberries and Whipped Cream

January 14, 2018 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Strawberries and Whipped Cream – An easy low carb dessert idea that’s the perfect Ketogenic Diet sweet treat.

Keto Strawberries and Whipped Cream

Throughout my Keto Diet Journey, a sweet treat I’ve had more than anything else is Strawberries and Whipped Cream.

I enjoy a bowl full most days as an afternoon sweet treat and I look forward to it every single day. I never seem to tire of this simple dessert and it always delivers that perfect sweet experience that I’m after.

Strawberries, and other berries, are the lowest carb fruit. But, they still contain carbs. So, keep it to 3 to 4 sliced berries at most.

You’ll see that I fill the bottom of a bowl with a couple of sliced berries.

Then, I top it was a generous swirl (or five) of whipped cream. You can use canned whipped cream, just watch for added sugars, thickeners or other carb additions.

You can just as easily pour some heavy whipping cream or double cream into a bowl and whip it into freshly whipped cream. If you’d like, you could even flavour your whipped cream. Here are some ideas:

Vanilla Extract
Cacao Powder to make Keto Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting. (Get the recipe here!)
Chocolate Flavouring
Stevia or your sweetener of choice
Maple Flavouring

Keto Strawberries and Whipped Cream - An easy low carb dessert idea that's the perfect Ketogenic Diet sweet treat.
