There is just something sinful in the taste of this keto chocolate ice cream! The recipe is also sinfully simple: just 5 ingredients! However, those ingredients are carefully chosen to create as luscious treat as possible.

This sweet and creamy indulgence is also easy to make, since you don’t have to cook anything, just mix all ingredients and churn in the ice cream maker to a delicious, lip-smacking and rich ice cream experience.

Not only delicious, this keto chocolate ice cream recipe is also healthy and nourishing: it uses fresh, raw eggs to get the full benefits. However, if you are not comfortable with raw eggs, I give some tips how to replace those in the end of this post. A dairy-free version is also easy to make.

Basic Butter Frosting and Orange Butter Frosting

February 1, 2015 By elviira 10 Comments

These fat-filled luscious frostings are perfect for LCHF-style celebrations. These butter frostings are great for piping, making it easy to create gorgeous and delicious decorations on your low-carb cakes and cupcakes. Naturally, you can also use these scrumptious frostings as fillings, like I have done below with my whoopie pies.

You can easily create your own butter frosting variations by adding other flavorings, extracts or even powdered freeze-dried berries. For example, Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam works extremely well and makes a great frosting for example for the Valentine’s Day celebrations.

Moreover, these frostings are ready in a snap. No need to freeze or let them set. Just beat until fluffy and use immediately! You can store the leftover frosting in the fridge, but just remember to take it to room temperature at least half an hour before using.

Unusually Fluffy Muffins (Dairy-Free)

February 1, 2015 By elviira 22 Comments

This is one of the recipes I’ve wanted to publish for a very long time since I really haven’t had any dairy-free basic muffin recipe. I just love basic recipes because they leave lots of space for variations. You can let your imagination fly and add vanilla extract or other extracts, berries, nuts, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, berry powders, sugar-free jam or flavorings or anything you happen to have in your pantry at that moment. Moreover, basic muffins are great bases for frostings. Make a gorgeous and luscious frosting and let it shine as a beautiful crown on top of the muffin!

Hot Drinks for the Holidays — Part I — Hot Cardamom Chocolate (Vegan)

December 17, 2014 By elviira Leave a Comment

What could be more comforting than a mug of hot, delicious drink on a chilly day? – A mug of healthy hot, delicious drink! Just get it cozy and leave the wind and frost outside. Sit back and grab a mug of one of these dreamy drinks!

I decided to post a series of hot drinks which are perfect for the holiday time but also any time when you need some warmth and comfort. All these drinks are vegan and paleo, to make them suitable for as many people as possible. I wanted to keep the drinks low in carbs as well, naturally without sacrificing any flavor.

But first, let me introduce Hot Cardamom Chocolate, an unbelievably creamy and delicious drink where dark cocoa powder gives the ultimate chocolaty flavor, coconut cream makes the drink rich and thick and where cardamom provides spiciness and extra warmth. I have to say that I seldom have tasted anything that creamy, which is vegan as well!
