The Best Low-Carb 3, 4 or 5 Ingredient Dessert I've Ever Made

 As I age gracefully, I find myself becoming more and more like my sweet mom; she loved sweet stuff more and more as she aged and I'm guilty of that same thing now.  Mom had a battle with her weight most of her adult life and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in her 70's, something I've avoided by cutting sugar, high-carb food and alcohol (I was a huge beer drinker for years!!) for over 7 years.  Eating "ketovore"-- mostly meat, seafood, eggs and low-carb vegetables has been very beneficial for me and I also occasionally go "kinda carnivore" by not adding the vegetables.  My weak spot is wanting something sweet after a meal and I came across the perfect solution for me by watching "The Best 3 Ingredient Dessert We've Ever Tried!" on YouTube by "The Keto Twins".  It's a very simple recipe that I tried using the ingredients they suggested, and it came out fine but I knew I could adjust it a bit to suit me more (I don't add the peanut butter).  I'm a very seasoned cook and know how to whip egg whites (I'm fortunate to have local fresh eggs available ;) correctly using a copper bowl and cream of tartar so they come out perfect everytime, and I am a regular customer of ChocZero products which are the lowest carb and cleanest ingredient sweets I've found.  Of course you may also use regular baking chips and spreads with added sugar if you are not on a low-carb eating lifestyle, the recipe will be just as easy and delicious.

Here is my recipe with variations:

1 egg, separated.....1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar.....2-3 heaping teaspoons ChocZero baking chips

Whip the whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.  Melt the chips in the microwave being careful not to burn (about 30 seconds is good in my oven), remove and stir to cool a bit then add the yolk and blend together well.  Fold in the whites and place in a lightly greased (I use ghee) microwave container of your choice.  Cook uncovered on high for 1 min. 40 sec. or bake in regular oven at 350 for 20 minutes.  Let cool either in the container or remove onto a rack, which is what I do.  

For a variation I use ChocZero spread with the baking chips and yolk using 1 tablespoon spread with 2 tablespoons of chips.  I've learned this method works better if I'm using the white chocolate chips. If I want an even more sweet end product I simply add 4-6 drops of liquid stevia in with the chips and yolk, or I "frost" with additional spread.

I hope you try this simple recipe and enjoy it as much as I do.

Updated Keto "No-Churn" Ice Cream with Keto Cocoa Powder Fudge Sauce

Back in June 2022 I shared a recipe for Keto "no-churn" ice cream that is delicious but takes a bit of time and uses quite a few ingredients.  Sometime later I came across a much more simple recipe from Victoria's Keto Kitchen  I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do!

No-Churn Ice Cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup powdered allulose (too sweet for me, I use less)

3 TB liquid allulose (must use this ingredient)

1 teas vanilla

Add all to large bowl, whip to medium stiff peaks, transfer to container and freeze at least 6 hours. 

Cocoa Powder Fudge Sauce

3/4 c. Allulose* (or your favorite sweetener)
1/2 c. Hershey's Cocoa Powder (or your favorite brand)
1/2 c. Heavy whipping cream
1/4 c. Salted butter
Large pinch Himalayan Pink Salt
10 drops (or more, to taste) liquid sweetener
1/2 t. Butter Flavor (or any other flavor you like, maybe just more vanilla)
1/2 t. Pure Vanilla

Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan, bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Add butter and salt,  continue to boil slowly, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat, let cool, store in glass container.  Keeps in fridge about one month if it lasts that long, lol.  The sauce will harden in the fridge and needs to be warmed before pouring over ice cream or you can get a spoon and eat it :D

April 10, 2025--Long time, no post

  Something usually inspires me to write a post and today it was Penny Kelly's post on Youtube-- Getting Well: Living Water.  I most always click the description under the post to find out more info and today it was a link to My COCO Life (My Community of Consciousness Online), a community that offers the fellowship with people I can relate to in this turbulent realm of what we call Earth.  I decided to join and had to fill out the profile page where it asked for my website; since I don't have an actual website so to speak and only have this oldie-moldie blog--well, here I am today, writing a short post.

Not too much exciting has happened to me since my last post but plenty has been happening in the world!!  Whew, it's difficult to keep up with all the craziness going on.  I find listening to music keeps me grounded and out of the constant being online space we all fall into (which is why I don't jump on Facebook much anymore) and a few days ago while listening to my favorite classical music station WMHT broadcasting from Schenectady, NY area, it dawned on me to do a search to see if another of my favorite hometown stations that I listened to every morning while getting ready for school was still operating.  Yipee!! WPTR, also from the Schenectady, Albany, Troy area came up immediately.  I love it!!  I'm delighted to be able to work around the house, doing whatever suits my fancy with nostalgic memories of my earlier days.

That's what's up for today, I'm off to work on re-webbing an aluminum chaise lounger that's been calling me for a long time.  Peace!
