Dessert is one thing I hate giving up. That is why this Easy Keto Strawberry Pie recipe is an excellent choice for a keto or low-carb lifestyle. It gives me the flavor and sweetness I love without adding sugar to my diet.

EASY KETO STRAWBERRY PIE

I love anything strawberry flavored. Fresh strawberries are my most favorite fruit, and thank goodness they are keto-friendly in moderation. After I made my Very Best Keto/Low Carb Lemon Pie, I thought that I could create a keto-friendly strawberry pie as a spinoff of that recipe.

This Low Carb Strawberry Pie is so easy to make and delicious. From start to finish, it only takes a few minutes; in fact, you’ll spend more time waiting for it to set up in the freezer than making it. Also, if you don’t love keto-approved flours, this recipe doesn’t contain any flour at all.

Ingredients:

Pecans – chopped finely for the crust
Butter – used as a binder to combine the ingredients for the crust
Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered & Classic – keto-friendly sweetener you can also sub Swerve sweetener of the appropriate variety (Confectioners for Powdered or classic for granulated)
Strawberries – washed, stemmed, and diced
Cream Cheese – softened so that it creates a smooth pie filling
Heavy Whipping Cream – part of the base of the pie
Vanilla Extract– adds flavor

Keto Mocha Chocolate Fat Bombs

Shared by Kasey 4 Comments

Keto Mocha Chocolate Fat Bombs are such a fun addition to your keto diet. Everyone loves a good excuse to eat chocolate, and these are my favorite! Make a batch and keep it on hand for those days you just need that chocolate pick-me-up to fit into your macros.

What Is a Fat Bomb?

A fat bomb is an indulgent keto dessert made with fat bases like heavy whipping cream, oil, or nut butter. Fat bombs also have less sweetness than a traditional dessert because of the sugar-free sweeteners. The point of this dessert is to keep you full while also satisfying your sweet tooth. If you’re craving a dessert or need a filling snack, keto fat bombs are the way to go!

Keto Mocha Chocolate Fat Bombs

I enjoy something a little sweet in the evenings. It doesn’t take much, and I try not to indulge every single day, but a little treat goes a long way to satisfy my sugar cravings. Having tried all different varieties of fat bombs including Chocolate Mousse, Peanut Butter Fluff, Strawberry Fat Bombs, and Lemon Fat Bombs, I thought that Mocha Chocolate Fat Bombs would be a nice change.

These Mocha Fat Bombs are so easy to make. You can whip up a batch in ten minutes, but you’ll have to wait for them to set up in the freezer to dig in. Since it naturally takes a little longer to eat frozen fat bombs, I have found that they help with portion control. So, if you struggle with eating too many Keto Fat Bombs at a sitting, try frozen fat bombs as I have found that I get satisfied much more quickly.

How to make fat bombs

Most fat bomb recipes start with a coconut oil base. You can then add in a mixture of dry ingredients and flavors to create a deliciously creamy treat that everyone enjoys. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe in printable form.

Ingredients:

Heavy Whipping Cream– This is the main base of the dessert. This is whipped to make these fat bombs super fluffy and delectable!
Cocoa– This is how you get the indulgent chocolate flavor! Make sure to use Unsweetened Cocoa so there’s no added sugar.
Swerve Confectioner’s Sweetener– This is the main sweetener of the fat bombs.
Espresso– I love adding espresso to my chocolate desserts to make it “mocha” flavored! It gives it a slight coffee taste without being overwhelming.
Vanilla– This is to give the dessert some added flavor.
100% Sugar-Free Chocolate– This is totally optional but you can shave pieces of this sugar-free chocolate on top of your keto Chocolate Fat Bombs for extra sweetness!

Steps to Making Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs:

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, place 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and beat until soft peaks begin to form.

Step 2: Add all other ingredients and mix again to combine.

Step 3: Place cupcake liners in a muffin tin.

These mocha chocolate fat bombs are perfectly portioned in the cupcake liners. This makes them super easy to make in larger batches to freeze for later!

Step 4: Using a plastic baggie or icing bag, pipe mixture into liners.

Tip: Shave 100% sugar-free chocolate to sprinkle on top.

Step 5: Place into the freezer until frozen.

Step 6: Remove from the freezer and place in a sealed container to store in the freezer.

What Is the Nutrition Information for 1 Keto Chocolate Fat Bomb?

There are only 186 calories in one fat bomb! There are 2 carbs, 19 fat, and 1 protein per fat bomb, so you can easily enjoy these for dessert.

What If I Don’t Have Heavy Whipping Cream?

If you don’t have heavy whipping cream, you can combine softened butter and half-and-half to form a thickened cream similar to heavy cream.

What’s the Best Sugar-Free Chocolate Brand?

I personally love these Lily’s Dark Chocolate Bars! They’re sweetened with Stevia, so they’re still sweet without all the carbs!

Can I Use Another Sweetener Besides Swerve?

Yes! You can use this Lakanto Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener to substitute Swerve Confectioner’s sweetener.

Can You Use Espresso Powder Instead of Espresso?

If you have espresso powder on hand like this one, you can use it! I switch between ground espresso and espresso powder, depending on what I have on hand.

Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Soup Instant Pot Recipe

Shared by Kasey 34 Comments

Making this Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Soup Instant Pot Recipe is one of my favorite ways to make a cold evening better. Chicken Pot Pie Soup is a delicious option that really brings all the comfort food flavors home without wrecking the keto diet. This easy and delicious recipe has no flour and is gluten-free.

Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Soup Instant Pot Recipe

I love Chicken Pot Pie. It is one of my favorite comfort foods. Evidently, others feel the same way because my Keto Chicken Pot Pie Recipe is one of my most popular recipes. With the weather cooling down, I thought I’d tweak my recipe just a bit and transform it into a low-carb soup recipe.

It turned out so delicious and comforting. I only used 1/2 a cup of mixed veggies to look and taste like Chicken Pot Pie. However, if you’d rather make it a little more keto-friendly, you could use other veggies that are more low carb, like zucchini, green beans, and broccoli.

I figured 1/2 cup of mixed veggies wouldn’t be a big deal to me, but each their own. It was exactly what I needed as I have been fighting off a cold and a perfect addition to a cold winter day. I have included cooking instructions for both the Crock-Pot and the Instant Pot below for your convenience.continue reading…

Low Carb Keto Bread Recipe

Shared by Kasey 46 Comments

If you want a Low Carb Keto Bread Recipe, this is it! Of course, it isn’t going to be exactly like your traditional bread recipe, but when you miss bread, this is a great substitution! Perfect for a side to dinner as well as making sandwiches. Just make sure to follow our tips for toasting before eating!

Low Carb Keto Bread Recipe

I’ve had so many people ask if they could cook my 90-Second Bread in the oven or if they could prepare multiple batches to last for several days. After I multiplied my 90-Second French Toast into a large loaf, I knew I could do the same for 90-Second Bread.

I increased my original recipe several times and made the perfect-sized loaf that cooked fabulously in the oven. As always, I am going to be 100% honest with you. Just like my 90-Second Bread, I would not suggest eating this Keto/Low Carb Bread straight out of the oven. Instead, cut a slice and fry it in a skillet in butter or toast it up in a toaster oven or air fryer.

I don’t know why this step makes such a difference, but I promise it does. I’ve heard so many people saying they hated 90-Second Bread until they found my version, and it changed their opinion. Still, the key is doing something after the bread comes out of the oven to crisp it up. Otherwise, it does taste eggy. However, it will knock your socks off once you crisp it up.continue reading…

Keto Pot Roast Instant Pot Recipe

Shared by Kasey 19 Comments

This Keto Pot Roast Instant Pot Recipe is seriously one of the best recipes ever! So easy to make and full of flavor; it will be a hit with the entire family! I’ve seen this recipe many times, but once I tried it, I was hooked.

HOW TO MAKE POT ROAST KETO-FRIENDLY

Pot roast isn’t keto-friendly on its own. However, there is a way to make pot roast keto-friendly. Leaving out the potatoes can significantly reduce the number of carbs in the pot roast.

I love finding ways to make it easier to cook healthy meals for my family. When my days are filled with four kids, homeschooling, and blogging, the time flies by. This week has been particularly busy, so I thought I’d try making a keto chuck roast Instant Pot recipe tonight for dinner.

I was blown away by how amazing this Instant Pot Keto Pot Roast recipe tasted. The flavor is far better than slow cooking all day in a crockpot since we were in a hurry. The flavor tastes like it was infused into the meat and is beyond fork tender.

This is basically the same recipe as my Keto Pot Roast for the Crock Pot but altered for the Instant Pot.

Ingredients:

Boneless Beef Roast– If you want the meat to be flavorful, pick a cut of beef with higher fat content. Cuts of meat that don’t have a lot of fat tend to be drier and not as tender. Chuck Roast is my favorite.
Ranch dressing mix or homemade– I love using ranch dressing mix in my pot roast because it adds a nice tangy flavor.
Xanthan Gum is used to thicken the sauce and make a gravy-like consistency.
Garlic Cloves– Add a ton of flavor to the dish.
Pepperoncini Peppers– This is a “Mississippi Style” pot roast that calls for pepperoncini peppers. If you don’t like pepperoncini peppers, feel free to leave these out or use banana peppers instead.
Beef Broth– This keeps the roast from getting dry and losing flavor.

Steps to Making Keto Pot Roast Instant Pot Recipe

(Scroll to the bottom of this post for the printable recipe card with the complete list of ingredients and instructions.)

Step 1: Press the saute button on the Instant Pot and allow it to get hot. Add olive oil and sear pot roast on all sides.

Step 2: Remove roast from Instant Pot and use beef broth to deglaze the pan by stirring with a wooden spoon.

Step 3: Transfer beef roast to Instant Pot, add all other ingredients except for the Xanthan Gum, and bring to a boil.

Step 4: Turn Instant Pot off, then secure the lid in place. Press manual high pressure and use the up button to program for 90 minutes.

Step 5: The Instant Pot will take several minutes to come to pressure. When it does, it will begin to count down from 90 minutes.

Step 6: Once the time is complete, let it naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick release.

Step 7: Once the pin has dropped, remove the lid and use a fork to shred it.

Step 8: Turn Instant Pot to warm and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum to thicken the gravy. Allow the roast to sit for 10 minutes or until the gravy has thickened before serving. Do not add more Xanthan Gum, as it will make the pot roast slimy.

What Are the Best Cuts of Meat for Keto Pot Roast?

The best cut of meat for Keto Pot Roast would be chuck roast since it has more fat. If you’re looking for a leaner cut of beef, a rump or round roast is best because it has fewer fatty pieces yet is tender enough to render flavor. Lastly, you can use brisket, but it’s a bit grainier than chuck roast.

What If My Meat Isn’t Tender After Cooking?

To prevent this from happening, make sure you cook the roast for long enough. If you take it out of the instant pot too soon, the meat will not be tender and fall apart like a traditional pot roast. You can either put the top on again and set it to manual high pressure for 5 min or press the saute button and allow it to boil until it falls apart.

Why Should You Sear the Meat Before Cooking?

Searing the meat before putting it in the instant pot brings out a ton of flavor. I have found that making a pot roast in the slow cooker does not require this step, but it is essential when making a pot roast in the Instant Pot.

THE BEST KETO RECIPE FOR CRANBERRY ORANGE BREAD

This Keto Cranberry Orange Bread is simple to make, flavorful, moist, and delicious. I wasn’t sure how well the orange extract would work in place of fresh orange juice and orange zest, but if I hadn’t made it, I would never know the difference. My son, who likes keto sweets the least, ate three pieces as soon as I was done photographing the recipe. He kept saying, “Mom, that is really, really good, and I’m not just saying that since I’m your son. I promise I love it.” So, there you go — a trustworthy verdict right from the harshest keto critic in my family.

Low Carb Hot Bacon Dressing for Salads

Shared by Kasey 22 Comments

This Low Carb Hot Bacon Dressing for Salads is much like a tangy-sweet warm vinaigrette with crunchy bacon. Filling and versatile, and full of amazing flavors, it takes a regular salad to an entirely new level. If you’re searching for a low-carb dressing for salad, this hot bacon dressing recipe is absolutely delicious.

LOW CARB HOT BACON DRESSING RECIPE FOR SALADS

Years ago, I ordered a salad at Bennigan’s Restaurant with a Hot Bacon Dressing, and it made such an impression on me that more than 20 years later, it came back to my mind. I’m pretty sure that bacon makes everything better, and salad is indeed no exception to that rule, especially when it is hot bacon infused with spices.

When I made this Low Carb Hot Bacon Salad Dressing for my family, I made a big salad with leafy greens and spinach and added keto-fried chicken chopped into small pieces. Instead of mixed greens, you could make a spinach salad if you prefer. I topped the salad with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and boiled eggs, then dressed it with this tangy Low Carb Hot Bacon Dressing. I’m kind of boring when it comes to toppings, so many other options like avocados and such would make a delicious addition.

Keto Italian Meatball Casserole

Shared by Kasey 107 Comments

This Italian Meatball Casserole is a super simple dinner with your crockpot doing all the hard work. All you need to do is combine the ground beef, coconut flour, cheeses, and spices; in just a few hours, you’ll have a hearty but low-carb keto meatball casserole. This keto casserole is perfect for family dinners, game days, and get-togethers with friends!

HOW TO MAKE THIS KETO MEATBALL CASSEROLE

I love this Italian meatball casserole because it’s really simple to make. I had made BBQ meatballs before, so I knew it would be easy to make a couple of changes to the recipe to make keto/low carb Italian Meatballs.

Usually, Italian Meatballs are served over noodles, but instead of making a noodle substitute, we just ate them right out of the casserole dish with a side of buttery broccoli. This recipe is so versatile; if you don’t own a crockpot, you can still bake this casserole; you can change ground beef out with ground turkey! This recipe will quickly become one of your favorites.

If you’d like to eat with a keto/low carb noodle substitute, you could serve it over spaghetti squash (how to roast a spaghetti squash here) or with zucchini noodles.continue reading…
