“Welcome to my rustic keto chocolate truffles! I know what you are thinking, they look like a small antelope took a dump on my marble surface! LOL… but many things ‘made with love’ are often imperfect! Anyway, I wanted to create little truffles and while mine aren’t as perfectly round as the store-bought kind, they are delicious… and INTERESTING (not only to look at!). I made a double batch of ganache and flavoured one batch with peppermint extract, and to the second ganache I added a generous pinch of dried chilli flakes! Both are very tasty – and a fun thing to put out at the end of a dinner party. Macros are calculated per small truffle and exclude the flavourings. From my batch, I made 36 little truffles in total. They keep well in the fridge in a sealed container.” – Monya
“This is a simple, moist chocolate cupcake recipe which I topped with a sharp and creamy ‘frosting’ made with cream cheese, vanilla, cocoa powder and sweetener. Super simple and lovely to put out at your next Keto Afternoon Tea.” – Monya
“I am so chuffed with the delicious choc mint ice cream. I invested in an ice cream maker several years ago, and it truly is the gift that keeps on giving! Homemade ice cream is dead-easy once you have mastered the technical bits. You only need to get it right once. Please follow the tips below for a game-changing dessert that comes in at only 3.3g carbs per two scoops (100g / 3.5oz total). I used 85% Lindt here and a peppermint extract I found on Amazon.” – Monya
“These creamy chocolate mousse lollies are made with whipped cream that give a light, airy texture. It makes me rethink how I have been making all the other other lollies until now. The lolly moulds I use are 100ml / 3.5 fl. oz capacity, but there is so much air whipped into the mixture, you will only use about 70g to fill each mould. I also added a few drops of chocolate essence which really lifts the flavour! If you choose not to freeze the mixture, enjoy these as a simple chocolate mousse served in six ramekins. Unlike other chocolate mousse recipes, these do not require any setting time.” – Monya
“These dreamy, keto chocolate mug cakes take just a few minutes to throw together. It took several trials to achieve this great texture. The recipe makes two, so you can tuck into them with your loved one as a dessert or a sweet breakfast. They are best eaten warm with a dollop of extra cream.” – Monya
“Each slice of this dreamy keto chocolate and raspberry tart is pure heaven! I melted 85% Lindt and whisked in warm cream and butter making a creamy chocolate filling to cover a chocolate base made with almond flour and cocoa powder. UPDATE: I have taken this recipe off this blog because I worked hard to bring you a new-and-improved version that now features in my cookbook Keto Kitchen.” – Monya
“Only 5.8g carbs per serving for a lovely keto chocolate mousse dessert! I used (as opposed to 85% Lindt® chocolate to make this airy, creamy mousse. Very dark chocolate can be quite bitter, but its the best option when baking. I added a little powdered erythritol for additional sweetness. NOTE: If you choose to use completely unsweetened chocolate (as opposed to 85% – which is what I recommend), you will need to increase the amount of sweetener.” – Monya
“Bribing Funnyman with my keto brownies is a nifty way to get him to do stuff around the house. He loves them! They are the perfect size to hit the sweet spot and also make great fat bombs. I don’t have a sweet tooth at all, so making a batch of these along with other sweet treats is my way of showing him how much I love him. Cooking is my language of love! The brownies store well in the fridge, but can be frozen individually after cooling and slicing. We always have double cream in the house, so Funnyman reheats the brownies slightly and pours a little cream over. Happy Husband = Happy Wifey. UPDATE: I have taken this recipe off this blog because I worked very hard to bring you a new-and-improved version that now features in my cookbook Keto Kitchen.” – Monya
