Almond Cloud Summer Keto Dessert
If you have fresh berries, gelatine, cream and 10 minutes to spare, try this light and delicious easy keto dessert. It’s … almost Panna cotta? For non-keto use same quantity cane sugar.

- Add cream.
- Add essence. Cool and pour into non stick mold.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours minimum or overnight.

- If you have, place on top of a slice of keto shortcake, then add fruit and whipped cream.
It’s heavenly!
I used this wonderful sugar free passion fruit concentrate from Hawaii in this dessert.
Breakfast!
Hot keto porridge with blueberries, cream and keto honey, bullet proof coffee.
Dinner idea:
Cauliflower and broccoli cheese, Mediterranean veggie tray bake and pork chop.
Every curry I make starts with:
Toasted spices, added onion, pureed ginger and garlic, curry powder, turmeric, chili powder, bay, lime and curry leaves. Add fresh diced tomatoes, simmer and add meat of choice. This turned into a chicken curry.
The view from my home office upstairs. Crabapple blossoms!
Keto Strawberry and Lemon Cheesecake with pecan crust
Quick, light and no baking!
Ingredients
Crust
- 3 oz butter or 3/4 stick (5 tblspns)
- 3 tblspn keto sugar
- 1 cup pecan flour (ground pecans if you don’t have)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
Keto Basque Cheesecake
I’ve never made this crustless cheesecake and only eaten it once in a restaurant. Four of us shared a slice and I remember promising a keto version to myself. I’ve adapted a few recipes into this LCHF keto recipe and it’s as delicious as it looks. Much lighter than normal cheesecake if you keep your mixing light and not overly beaten. It has a wonderful dark “burnt” caramelised edge and warm depth of flavour and is creamy and much less dense than a traditional cheesecake. I do believe it is traditional in Spain to enjoy it alongside a glass of Sherry!
A large part of important prep is having your baking pan well greased with butter, layering two sheets of parchment paper, also buttering after each is layer is put in the pan. Leave a good amount of paper higher than the top of the pan by at least 10cm (4 inches?) as this beautiful cheesecake can rise quite a bit and above the rim of the cake tin. It is now my most favourite cheesecake.
Keto Vanilla Caramel Sauce
Do you have 30 minutes to spare to make this sauce?
5 minutes to gather and measure your four and a ¹/⁴ ingredients; amother 5 to melt the buttery sugar together and 5 more to let the butter and sugar foam and boil stirring all the while. 1 more minute to add the cream and then 14 minutes of gentle boiling and stirring and voila! Cool off by dunking your pot in a bath of ice water and then bottle when cooled.
Chaffles: Brie, persimmon and basil with keto maple syrup
I like unusual flavour combinations and in my pre-keto days a favourite summer treat was to eat waffles from a place called Waffle Window. There was always a line. This sweet/savoury waffle was my favourite but the Loaded Berry Waffles were amazing too.
Gingerbread Fruit Bake
I never had fresh berries so for this recipe I used a few plums. They were not quite ripe either! Anyhow, the gist of this recipe is to bake your fruit in butter while you prep the batter. Add the light scone-like topping, flaked almonds, more spices, bake and you’re done! Delicious with a cup of coffee and topped with whipped cream.
Keto Danish Pastries with Strawberries
If you have some fresh berries and ingredients for fathead dough, then you have the basic ingredients to make this recipe. The process is in three stages. First the filling, which is basically like a light cheesecake filling. Next you mix the dough and while it’s baking you make a quick glaze. This was my first time baking these and it took me a little longer than it should. Next time I will have everything prepped and be more organised. I literally decided to bake these on the fly today when I saw the strawberries needed to be eaten. Here goes!
Filling
- 1x 8oz cream cheese package
- 1/2 cup ground white keto sugar (if it’s too granular it’s not pleasant)
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- zest of a lemon (an orange would be good too if you don’t have lemons)
Beat all the ingredients well together.
Dough:
Fruit Bake
I’m very relieved and pleased. I’ve discovered my food sensitivity to coconut is only coconut oil or coconut butter. After nibbling tiny bits of shaved coconut and increasing it slowly over a few months I am fine. But coconut oil for cooking completely closes up my nose with rhinitis so badly I almost can’t breathe or lie down, let alone sleep and it lasts about 2 days. Turns out the processing of the coconut is what affects me. I did some internet research and this is apparently a thing. What they do to the coconut during this process to give me such a reaction, I have no idea. It started when we used coconut oil to cook with, and took me months to figure out. I had thought it was an allergy I developed to all things coconut. I love everything about coconut, and will happily do without coconut oil, but oh! to be able to bake with coconut flour will be a joy! My next adventure is to try coconut milk or cream, we’ll see. To celebrate I baked this fruit coffee cake with 2 table spoons of delicious coconut flour … small steps… as I’m still super nervous of the terrible symptoms of a reaction, and I was fine!
There are also a few odds and ends I posted after the recipe.
