Keto Recipes With Chocolate Food

KETO CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Add the heavy cream and cocoa powder to a medium saucepan and whisk until the cocoa is fully incorporated. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk together the stevia, vanilla, salt and egg yolks in a large bowl until lightened in color, about 1 minute. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens, coats the back of a spoon and reaches 180 degrees F on a thermometer, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer the custard to a large bowl and stir continuously until the mixture cools to room temperature. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until cold, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cold.)
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe resealable container and freeze until set, at least 1 hour.

KETO CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Tip the yogurt onto a piece of cheesecloth, muslin or a milk bag, place in a bowl and chill for at least two hours or overnight to strain. Whisk the strained yogurt with xylitol and cacao and place in the fridge.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Soak a sheet of parchment paper with water, then crumple it and wring it out. Use it to line a 22cm springform pan. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks using an electric whisk.
• In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Add the almond flour, xylitol, cacao powder, baking soda, milk and apple cider vinegar. Gently fold in the whites and baking powder into the mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 15 mins, then reduce the temperature to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and bake for a further 15 mins. The cake is ready when a skewer inserted in the middle comes out a bit sticky but without batter clinging to it. Keep an eye on the cake during the last few minutes because it can brown quickly. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before releasing it from the springform pan and placing on a serving platter. Spread the icing over the top of the cooled cake. Dust with more cacao powder, if you like.
