A healthy, low carb breakfast can be a challenge when following a low carb or keto diet. Especially when cooking for a larger group! We love this recipe because it is a healthy breakfast option packed full of flavorful vegetables and protein. It provides 6 servings, so it is perfect for a larger family or small gathering.

This recipe is also great for the picky eaters in your house. When preparing for kids, you can make it even better by using a cookie cutter to cut the eggs into fun shapes. Your kids can get a healthy serving of protein and vegetables and have a fun time doing it! While this recipe is a perfect choice for serving a larger group, it also works well to cut into smaller servings and then add to a biscuit, bagel, chaffle, etc. It freezes and reheats well so you can even make this ahead of time and thaw servings out as needed.

How to Make Sheet Pan Eggs

In addition to the ingredients listed above you will need a mixing bowl, spatula, and baking sheet. Here is a step-by-step guide for making these delicious sheet pan eggs!

Add Filling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a half-sheet baking sheet (13×18) with cooking spray. Arrange the cooked sausage, bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and green onions evenly around the baking sheet. This is a great recipe to customize so feel free to change things up and add different veggies you love.

Mix Eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the vegetables. Then, using a spatula or spoon, evenly distribute the egg mixture. Top with the cheddar cheese. 

Bake

Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the eggs are set and cooked through in the middle. Then cut into squares, and you are ready to serve!

Storage and Reheating Instructions

• Reheating Instructions: You can easily reheat the eggs in the microwave. Reheat for about 30 second then in 15-second increments until heated to your desired level.
• Refrigerator Storage: Cut into individual servings then allow to cool completely. You can then store the eggs in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
• Freezer Storage: First, cut the leftover eggs into individual servings and wrap with plastic wrap. Then you can place the leftovers in a freezer safe container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lbs cooked sausage (pork or turkey)
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 Roma tomato, diced
• 1 cup chopped baby spinach
• ¼ cup chopped green onion
• 12 large eggs
• ¼ cup whole milk OR heavy cream if keto
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a half-sheet baking sheet (13x18) with cooking spray. 
2. Arrange the cooked sausage, bell pepper, tomato, spinach and green onions evenly around the baking sheet. 
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the vegetables, using a spatula or spoon to evenly distribute the egg mixture. Top with the cheddar cheese.

Notes

• If you don’t have a half-sheet baking sheet, you can divide this recipe between 2 smaller baking sheets (but not standard baking sheets). This is the pan I used. 
• Generously greasing the pan is 100% necessary so the eggs don’t stick. I would also recommend using a nonstick baking sheet if possible. 
• Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also cut the omelet with cookie cutters for fun shapes for the kids! 
• Feel free to sub in bacon or ham instead of sausage.

You can also freeze this recipe for up to 3 months.

How to Make Slow Cooker Sun Dried Tomato Chicken

In addition to the ingredients listed above, you will need a small sauce pan, cooking spray, and a slow cooker (4-quart or larger) for this recipe. You can follow our step-by-step instructions below for the best results. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the printable recipe card with all the ingredients and exact amounts.

Season the chicken

Spray the inside of a 4-quart crock pot with cooking spray. Then place the chicken in the bottom of the dish and top with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and sun-dried tomatoes. 

Make the Alfredo sauce

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add the white wine and allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half. This step takes about 5 minutes. Once the wine is reduced, add the heavy cream and parmesan and stir well. Allow the alfredo sauce to simmer for 5 minutes until it has thickened. 

Cook the chicken

Pour the sauce over the chicken and place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook the chicken on low up to 8 hours or on high up to 3 hours. (Remember, the cooking time in crock pots can vary tremendously. If your slow cooker runs high (brings things to a simmer on low) you will want to stick to a cooking time of no more than 5-6 hours.)

A low carb or keto diet doesn’t have to always mean you miss out on the foods you love the most. Growing up in the south, light, buttery biscuits with breakfast is a favorite food for many of us. Unfortunately, those traditional biscuits aren’t low carb or gluten free. However, our love for those biscuits has led to us creating a keto-friendly version that is just as tasty!

This biscuit recipe only requires about 20 minutes to bake and can be made ahead of time. We love to freeze these biscuits and then thaw them out for those days or weeks that we know will be especially busy.

What You Will Love About this Recipe

• Easy. This recipe is incredibly simple and only requires a handful of ingredients.
• Classic, Delicious Flavor. There are many keto biscuit recipes out there but few offer that classic breakfast biscuit flavor like your grandmother used to make. This recipe creates that light, fluffy breakfast biscuit but it is keto-friendly with less than 6 net carbs per biscuit!
• Versatile. These biscuits are great because they go well with so many other foods. Serve them with sausage, ham, bacon, or fried chicken just to name a few!
• Make ahead of time. This recipe is great for meal prepping. Make them ahead of time so your busy mornings don’t include having to prepare breakfast from scratch.

Ingredients for Keto Biscuits

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need to make low-carb biscuits and some substitution suggestions. These biscuits do not have many components, so this is the kind of recipe where the quality of ingredients matters.

• Cream Cheese: full-fat or reduced-fat cream cheese will work in this recipe. Just be sure the cream cheese has softened before you begin, or microwave in 10-second increments until it is soft and can be stirred easily.
• Shredded Cheese: cheddar or sharp cheddar cheese produces the best taste and texture.
• Eggs: size large eggs are used for this recipe.
• Super fine blanched almond flour: we do not recommend an alternative like coconut flour with this recipe. Almond flour provides a light, fluffy texture which is perfect for biscuits. Coconut flour is more dense and provides a texture similar to cake which is not ideal for a biscuit recipe.
• Baking powder and salt: Provides some lift to help keto biscuits rise
• Heavy cream: A higher fat content in heavy cream makes it a great choice for keto biscuits. However, if you’re not on a keto diet and simply wish to reduce carbs, you could use plain, unsweetened almond milk.
• Butter: we recommend unsalted butter for this recipe

How to Make the Best Keto Biscuits

In addition to the ingredients listed above you will need a mixing bowl, spatula, and baking sheet. The best part about this recipe is that it doesn’t require any fancy kitchen equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. Follow the step-by-step guide below to make these amazing keto breakfast biscuits.

Make the Dough

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs. Stir until cream cheese is smooth with no clumps. Add the super fine almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and melted butter. Stir until combined.

Chill and Bake

Next, chill the dough for 10 minutes. Lightly sprinkle almond flour onto a cutting board and turn the dough onto the floured surface. Cut the dough into 6 equal portions and pat it into biscuit shapes. Remember, you want the dough to be nice and thick, like the photos. Place the biscuits onto a greased or silicone-lined baking sheet. Then bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown. Optionally, you can brush the tops of the biscuits with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

• Reheating Instructions: To reheat the biscuits wrap in a paper towel and microwave in 30-second increments until warmed though.
• Refrigerator Storage: Allow to cool completely, then place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Freezer Storage: These biscuits can be frozen for up to six months. Allow to cool completely, then place in a freezer safe bag or container before freezing.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Keto Biscuits

• You can use unsweetened almond milk instead of heavy cream, if you want, but the fat content decreases. That’s great if you’re just low-carb, but you want a high fat content if you are keto.
• The dough should be relatively thick. Make sure you don’t over-mix the dough.
• Combine these biscuits with sausage, eggs, bacon, country ham, or any other breakfast protein for a complete, delicious breakfast whether you’re at your kitchen table or eating on-the-go!

How to Make Keto Mushroom Soup

This easy low-carb mushroom recipe is SO simple! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making this bright soup.

Saute veggies

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and saute for 10 minutes. Add the smoked paprika and cook for another minute. 

Simmer

Stir in the broth, fresh dill, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Finish with cream

Whisk in the heavy cream, sour cream, and lemon juice. Bring back to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, then top with fresh parsley and serve!

What to Serve with Mushroom Soup

If you’re stretching this meal further for company, start with a simple arugula salad or some artichokes with garlic butter for a light appetizer. Add some keto dinner rolls or these low-carb cheddar garlic biscuits to sop up anything left in the bowl! You could also serve zucchini fritters, smashed brussels sprouts, or keto garlic bread to stretch it even further.

Store

Reheat

You can reheat this soup in the microwave, on the stove, or with a slow cooker.

• Microwave – Reheat in 1-minute increments on 50% power. Cover with paper towel to avoid any splatters. This method is not the best if the soup has been frozen.
• Stovetop – Reheat soup on medium-low, stirring occasionally as you reheat. If soup has been previously frozen, reheat on low and stir continuously to prevent the dairy from separating.
• Slow cooker – Reheat soup on low, stirring occasionally as you reheat. Once warm, you can switch slow cooker to “warm” to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom if you’re serving it potluck style.

This easy pumpkin mousse recipe is perfect for the holidays! There’s nothing better than a light, creamy mousse for an impressive dessert — Our Keto Chocolate Mousse is a beloved favorite for a reason! But the work involved often means I don’t have time or energy to make it for our parties. This time we made a shortcut–We’re adding cream cheese into the mix to create an easier mousse that still delivers that velvety texture!

This deliciously creamy pumpkin mousse is made low-carb and keto-friendly with brown sugar monk fruit sweetener, but you’re welcome to use your preferred alternative sweetener. This makes it a great diabetic-friendly dish to bring to Thanksgiving! Each jar has under 4 net carbs, so it won’t cause major sugar spikes and is great for the keto diet. This recipe is easy to make ahead of time, so whip up a batch a couple days ahead of the holidays and have them chill in the fridge. You can focus on guests and the main entree, knowing your amazing pumpkin dessert is just waiting for you to dig in!

How to Make Keto Pumpkin Mousse

This simple shortcut mousse recipe comes together easily without a ton of work! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making these cups of fluffy, delicious pumpkin mousse.

Whip cream

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks are forming. This should take about 2-3 minutes if you’re using an electric mixer, but it will likely take longer if you’re whisking by hand.

Whip cream cheese

In another mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add in the pumpkin puree, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whip until all ingredients seem well incorporated.

Combine

Fold the whipped heavy cream into the pumpkin cream cheese mixture. Be very gentle when doing this–If you work too vigorously, you can pop all those great air bubbles you just worked to create! Just slowly, carefully fold the whipped cream in until there are no white streaks visible.

Chill

Transfer the pumpkin mousse to individual containers, cover, and chill in the fridge for at least two hours. For the “prettiest” look, I found that putting the mousse in a ziplock bag, cutting the corner, then piping it into jars was the most successful.

How to Serve Pumpkin Mousse

We love this easy mousse recipe topped with crushed keto cookies (store-bought or homemade), some homemade whipped cream, and a little cinnamon or extra pumpkin pie spice. If you want to be super extra, consider adding some keto caramel sauce! It should be served chilled, so keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.

How to store keto mousse

This recipe is best kept in an airtight recipe in the fridge up to 3 days. I prefer to store mine in a ziplock bag, then when I’m ready to serve, I can just cut one corner off and squeeze it into cups. This method looks a bit cleaner and nicer than just spooning it into jars.

3. Fold in the whipped heavy cream. 
4. Transfer the pumpkin mousse to individual containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs!

Notes

This is a shortcut mousse recipe that has a nice fluffy texture without being too dense or falling. 

This pumpkin mousse keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days and doesn’t lose its texture! 

You can easily double or triple this recipe to make more servings for a crowd! 

I like to transfer the mousse to a ziplock bag, cut the tip off, and then pipe it into containers. I found it looked nicer than just spooning it in.

Juicy and Tender Southwestern Chicken

I love southwestern food. There’s something so special about the way the seasonings and chilies pair together. And chicken is easily my favorite protein when making southwestern dishes. So it probably goes without saying that I love this Santa Fe chicken recipe. The meat is perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with spices. Cheese, cream cheese, and cream make the dish rich and decadent, while green chilies and chili powder give it a nice kick. There’s just so much flavor in this dish.

It’s also very easy to make. This Santa Fe chicken recipe uses ingredients that you’re likely to already have on hand and takes less than 30 minutes to make. It’s an easy dish to make whenever you’re craving restaurant-quality chicken at home.

Why You’ll Love This Keto Chicken Recipe

Whether you need a fun and fancy meal on the weekends or some quick protein on a weekday, this is a great dish to make. Here’s why I know you’ll love making it … and eating it!

• So easy. Despite being jam-packed with flavor, this is a really easy recipe to make. It only takes 25 minutes, and it’s a simple recipe to follow. You can easily make this Santa Fe chicken recipe after work and not feel stressed.
• Low carb. If you’re looking for a tasty protein-packed dinner, this recipe is for you. It’s loaded with protein from the chicken breasts, and each serving has only 6.7 net carbs. Anyone on a low-carb diet needs to try making this dish. 
• Decadent. This keto chicken may be high in protein and low in carbs, but it’s still super decadent. It has just enough cheese, cream cheese, and cream to be incredibly rich. It tastes so creamy, but you’ll still feel good after eating it. 

Southwest Chicken Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make this tender, juicy, and spicy chicken. Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the page to see the exact amounts for each ingredient.

• Olive oil – You could also use another neutral oil such as avocado oil if you prefer
• Chicken breasts – Small boneless, skinless breasts work best for this recipe. If you prefer using boneless skinless chicken thighs, that would work, too.
• Spices: for this recipe, you will need cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Onion, Peppers, Ro-tel – I use a yellow onion for this recipe, but white and red onions will also work. This is best with both red and green bell peppers, but other combinations will work. Make sure to drain the can of Ro-tel (or your favorite brand of canned tomatoes with green chilies).
• Heavy cream: no subs here! Regular milk or almond milk will not give you the same results.
• Chicken broth: vegetable broth can be substituted if needed. You can easily make your own Chicken Stock for a super flavorful ingredient that costs you barely anything at all.
• Cream cheese: full-fat cream cheese melts best. Allow it to come to room temperature before melting for the smoothest texture.
• Shredded cheddar cheese: For best results, shred your own cheese, but pre-shredded works fine too. 

How to Make Santa Fe Chicken

Here’s how to make this quick and easy keto chicken recipe. All you need is a skillet, spatula, and spoon.

Season & cook chicken

In a small bowl, mix together the spice blend (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Once well mixed, sprinkle this all over both sides of the chicken breasts. Make sure each piece is well covered for flavor in every bite.

Place a large skillet over medium heat, then add olive oil. Once shimmering, place the meat in the pan and sear until nicely browned. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes, then flip and repeat. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Sauté the veggies

Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, then add bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

Make the sauce

Add the drained tomatoes and green chilies, chicken broth, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Turn the heat down to medium-low and stir until cream cheese is completely melted.

Make it cheesy

Add part of the cheddar cheese to the skillet and stir until it melts. Once smooth, place the chicken back in the skillet and top them with the rest of the shredded cheese.

Finish cooking

Put the lid on the skillet and simmer over low heat until chicken is cooked all the way through. This should take approximately 6-8 minutes. I recommend using a meat thermometer and removing from the heat once the chicken reaches 165 degrees F in the center.

Serve

This southwestern chicken is wonderful to eat all on its own, but I love to serve it on top of zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice. It’s also great when served with a veggie side dish. Here are a few of my favorites.

• Zucchini Fries
• Air Fryer Broccoli
• Keto Mashed Cauliflower
• Cucumber and Avocado Salad

Store

Leftover Santa Fe chicken can be stored in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure chicken is completely cooled before refrigerating or freezing. Keep scrolling for freezing and reheating instructions.

Freeze

You can definitely freeze this low-carb chicken recipe. Make sure it is cooled completely, then store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure to defrost or thaw the chicken entirely before reheating it (preferably over night in the fridge).

Reheat

This dish is best rewarmed in an oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes. You can also microwave it, but I recommend using 50% for 1 minute intervals until warmed throughout. This helps prevent any exploding chicken making a mess in your microwave!

Tips and Tricks for the BEST one pan chicken

If you’re going to make this keto chicken, then make sure to try out some of these tips.  

• Use low-sodium chicken broth. I like to use a low-sodium stock when making this recipe. There are a lot of salty ingredients in this dish, and it can get too salty if the broth is also packed with sodium. If you use a low-sodium broth, then you can more easily control the amount of salt in the recipe. Once the sauce is done, taste it and add more salt if necessary. You could make your own Chicken Stock as well!
• Check the temperature. I always use an instant-read thermometer when cooking chicken. That way I can stop cooking the meat as soon as it reaches 165F. Using a thermometer is more accurate than using cooking time, and will help you make sure that the chicken breasts aren’t overcooked at all. 
• Garnish. This recipe is amazing when topped with chopped scallions, cilantro, and pickled jalapeños. But you can add any of your go-to toppings, including fresh jalapeños, sour cream, avocado, and hot sauce. This chicken dish is a lot better when topped with fun garnishes, so make sure to add your favorites.

Ingredients for Cajun Chicken

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients needed for this chicken lazone recipe. For the complete, printable recipe scroll to the recipe card below. 

• Chicken Breasts: this recipe uses 2 large chicken breast cut into 4 thinner breasts. This ensures they cook quickly and that the chicken is perfectly cooked in the sauce.
• Spices: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and dried oregano
• Olive oil: or another neutral oil such as avocado oil.
• Butter: butter is added to the sauce to create a texture and thickness similar to an Alfredo sauce.
• Heavy cream: the star of the show that makes an ultra rich sauce, do not substitute any other ingredients.

How to Make Chicken Lazone

In addition to the ingredients listed above, you will need a mixing bowl and skillet. To make the best chicken lazone follow the instructions below:

Season and Sear the Chicken

First, place the large chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice through the chicken as if you are butterflying, but cut all the way through. Next, combine the spices in a small bowl, and sprinkle each side of the chicken breast with the spices. Be sure to season the chicken on each side for the best results.

Next, heat a large skillet to medium heat. Next, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. 

Make the Cream Sauce

Remove the chicken from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Next, add the butter and allow the mixture to slowly come to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not cook the heavy cream too quickly or at too high of a temperature. You want to be gentle with the sauce to prevent it from burning or curdling.

Add Chicken to Sauce

After the sauce has simmered softly for 3-4 minutes add the chicken back to the skillet and cover. Next, cook the chicken over medium-low for 6-10 minutes. At this point, the sauce should be thickened somewhat similar to Alfredo sauce. The dish is done when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. 

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. To reheat you can use the oven, microwave, or air fryer:

• Oven: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the leftovers in an oven safe dish covered with foil. Warm for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and warm for another 5 minutes.
• Microwave: Place the leftovers on a plate and warm in 30 second increments until heated through.
• Air Fryer: Place the chicken in a lined air fryer and heat at 350 degrees for 4 minutes or until warmed through.

Freezer Instructions

Transfer cooled leftovers into a freezer-safe container, pressing out as much air as possible. Enjoy within 3 months for the best taste and texture. To reheat frozen leftovers allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat covered at 300 degrees in an oven safe baking dish.

Tips for the Best Chicken Lazone

• Do not use an alternative to heavy cream such as regular milk or almond milk.
• Be sure to sear the chicken until it is golden brown for the best taste.
• Allow the sauce to thicken for a creamy, indulgent sauce.

Perfect Homemade Ice Cream

Everybody loves ice cream. It has to be one of the most universally loved foods, and it’s not hard to see why. Unfortunately, almost all ice cream is loaded with unbelievable amounts of sugar. For those on a keto diet, options are usually inedible. But not this keto ice cream. This recipe uses allulose sweetener, which mixes well with cream and coconut milk and doesn’t crystallize when frozen. That makes this ice cream as silky and as smooth as the kind you’ll find at the grocery store but without the added sugar. 

And don’t worry, you don’t need any special equipment to make this ice cream. No ice cream maker is needed, just a food processor or a blender. It’s a super simple recipe that you’ll find yourself making all the time. 

Why You’ll Love This Rich Keto Ice Cream

I almost always have some of this ice cream sitting in my freezer. Here’s why it’s one of my favorite recipes, and why I’m sure it will be one of yours, too.

• So easy. This is such an easy recipe to make. It’s literally easier to make this ice cream than to go to the store to buy some! You really just blend the ingredients and then let them sit in the freezer. You don’t need an ice cream maker, and you only need to spend a few minutes in the kitchen.
• Customizable. You can do so many things with this recipe. This is just a basic vanilla ice cream, but you can add different flavors to customize it. Whatever ice cream you’re craving, you can make it with this keto base. 
• Easily storable. This ice cream will last for a long time in your freezer. Unlike most desserts, you don’t need to make a batch that you can eat within a few days. You can make enough keto ice cream to last you a few weeks! 
• Healthier. Because this recipe uses allulose sweetener instead of sugar, it’s so much healthier than the average ice cream. One serving has just 3.6 grams of sugar, which is a fraction of what you’ll find in most store-bought ice creams.

Ingredients needed

Here are the ingredients that you’ll need to make this keto vanilla ice cream. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the page to see the exact amounts for each ingredient.

• Coconut milk: You need to use full-fat coconut milk for this recipe, and you need to leave it in the fridge overnight the day before. Make sure to purchase unsweetened coconut milk.
• Heavy cream: no substitutions.
• Allulose granulated sweetener: It’s very important to use allulose and not a different keto-friendly sweetener. Other sweeteners will crystallize when frozen, but not allulose.
• Vanilla extract: Be sure to use 100% pure vanilla.
• Sea salt: just a pinch, this is my favorite flakey sea salt.

How to Make Keto Ice Cream

In addition to the ingredients listed above you just need a blender or food processor! This is a great base recipe so you can easily adust this recipe to create different flavors. Here’s how to make this easy homemade ice cream.

Chill the Coconut Milk

The day before making this recipe, put the cans of coconut milk in the fridge. This will allow the coconut cream solids to separate from the coconut water. Open the cans of cold coconut milk, and scoop out the solids. You don’t need the coconut water for this recipe, I save mine and add it to smoothies.

Blend

Place the solidified coconut cream, heavy cream, vanilla, allulose sweetener, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend the ice cream mixture until it’s thick and creamy. This should take about 2 minutes. When you blend these ingredients it doesn’t just combine them, it also whips the heavy cream. The ice cream will become thick, and creamy with a light texture if you run a spoon through it, similar to whipped cream. You can see in the photos above how the texture should look.

Freeze

Put the ice cream mixture in a loaf pan or ice cream and place it in the freezer for 3-4 hours until it reaches your desired consistency. If you freeze this for longer it will become very hard. This is normal for sugar free ice cream. The sugar in ice cream prevents it from freezing as hard.

Serve

Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften before scooping and serving. You can serve this ice cream with great low carb sauces like sugar free strawberry sauce, salted caramel, or a drizzle of ganache.

Tips, Tricks, and Variations

Here are a few tricks to keep in mind when making keto ice cream, and some variations that you can try.

• Save the water. After making this recipe you’ll have a lot of coconut water since this ice cream only uses coconut cream. Make sure to save that coconut water to use in smoothies and other recipes.
• Blend in batches. If you make a large batch of ice cream, or just have a small blender or food processor, then you should blend the ice cream in batches. If you overfill your blender or food processor, it won’t be able to blend the ice cream into a perfectly smooth texture. 
• Add chocolate. Vanilla ice cream is fantastic, but so is chocolate ice cream. To make this into keto chocolate ice cream, all you have to do is add half a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the recipe.
• Top with garnishes. I think that ice cream is always better with garnishes. And that’s definitely true for this homemade keto ice cream. Take it to the next level by topping it with your favorite nuts, sauces, berries, or garnishes. 

Serving Suggestions

I like to double down on my desserts. So when I serve this rich keto ice cream, I usually serve it with some cookies or other desserts that I think go well with ice cream. Here are a few of my favorites.

• Keto Skillet Cookie
• Keto Chocolate Cookies
• Keto Sheet Pan Cookies
• Blueberry Chaffle
• Keto Cinnamon Twists

How to Store Leftovers

This homemade ice cream will last in the freezer for 3 weeks. It will still be safe to eat after 3 weeks, but the texture will get a little bit worse, especially if it has some freezer burn. For best results, transfer the ice cream to a smaller airtight container, and place a piece of parchment paper directly on top of the ice cream.

Vanilla Bourbon Iced Latte

This keto cocktail has got a serious kick! This Vanilla Bourbon Iced Latte has two shots of espresso, a vanilla sugar free syrup, heavy cream and your favorite whiskey! This sugar free drink is perfect for starting your vacation, enjoying with brunch or over the weekend! You won’t believe this drink is only 3 net carbs!

This recipe requires only 4 ingredients and is super easy to make to your personal preferences. If you prefer more of a vanilla flavor, add more syrup! Or less bourbon, no problem. You can even make this drink with a decaf espresso, so you wind down in the evening with a delicious keto cocktail. The whiskey and the coffee compliment each other extremely well, so you really can’t go wrong with any combinations in this keto coffee drink!

What is a latte?

A latte is a combination of shots of espresso and steamed milk, or in this case, heavy cream. This creates a creamy drink and the coffee flavor is a little less noticeable than a cappuccino. 

Ingredients in this Iced Latte

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Vanilla Iced Latte. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Bourbon whiskey – Choose your favorite variety, preferably something with nice vanilla tones if you like a strong taste.
• Espresso – Made ahead of time and chilled. 
• Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup – This can often be found near the coffee aisle. Another brand or a homemade vanilla double simple syrup would work as well.
• Heavy cream – You can also use half-and-half to save some calories and fat, but I have only done the nutrition calculations with heavy cream

How do I make this vanilla latte?

All you need to make this keto cocktail is a glass! Add ice to a tall glass and pour over the espresso, whiskey, syrup and cream. Stir and enjoy!

You could easily add some sugar-free whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for a super special drink.

Can I make this keto drink with decaf espresso?

Of course! If you are not a fan of caffeine or you want to enjoy this cocktail later in the evening, you can easily swap out the regular espresso for decaf.

Preferences for this keto coffee

This cocktail packs quite a punch, so don’t be shy about adjusting the ingredients to fit your preferences! If the bourbon is too strong for you, of course you can adjust the cocktail to include less.

You can also increase or decrease the amount of syrup, espresso or heavy cream you use in this vanilla latte. If you prefer coffee to espresso, feel free to make that substitution as well, but keep in mind that the flavor of the bourbon will be more pronounced. Make this drink completely yours so you can make it in the future to your exact preferences!

Sugar Free Syrups

There are so many fantastic types of sugar free syrups on the market now! This is the type I used in this cocktail, but if you have another one you like, go with that! There are so many flavors of these keto syrups. Caramel, mocha, peanut butter cup, mint chocolate chip– really any flavor you can think of!

Vanilla Cream Soda

This creamy, sweet, delicious Vanilla Cream Soda is the perfect sugar-free drink to brighten up someone’s day! Perfect for birthday parties and showers, this simple drink will give you the classic old-fashioned soda shop flavor without packing on the sugar.

Did you know that cream soda is actually incredibly easy to make at home?! I had no idea… I imagined that me going sugar-free was the end of me enjoying the melted-milkshake flavor of cream soda. Thankfully, sugar-free syrup, soda water, and a little cream makes it possible to enjoy without an ounce of guilt! This is cheaper and more delicious than the store bought, too.

This beverage also has a lot of beautiful possibilities if you’re trying to work with a party theme! A tiny amount of food coloring added to your syrup will help make gorgeous hues without changing the flavor. Or you can offer a rainbow of possibilities by adding a menu of flavors like raspberry, blackberry, apple, and more! As long as you can find a sugar-free syrup in your preferred flavor (or an extract you can add to a homemade sugar-free syrup), you can easily create the drink of your dreams!

If you’d like, you can easily make this an alcoholic beverage as well. A shot of vodka works perfectly, and a shot of whiskey with a bit of caramel syrup instead of vanilla is absolutely amazing! The opportunities are endless here.

Sugar Free Cream Soda Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For specific measurements, keep scrolling to the printable recipe card.

• Sparkling Water
• Sugar Free Syrup (I chose vanilla for the classic cream soda flavor, but you could choose your favorite!)
• Heavy cream or half and half
• Ice

How to make Vanilla Cream Soda without sugar

Cream soda is incredibly easy! You need some sparkling water (I use my Soda Stream), a sweet sugar-free syrup, and heavy cream or half and half. Fill a tall glass with ice, pour all the ingredients in, and mix until the glass is frosty and the cream is well-mixed.

You can try this with homemade or store bought sugar-free syrups, too! This makes cream soda a convenient, easy, and fun drink for a delicious treat!

Sugar Free Syrup

Sugar-Free syrups are extremely popular! They can be used to add to cocktails, coffees, and now soda to create flavorful drinks. My two favorite brands are Torani and Jordan’s Skinny Syrups. However, these store-bought syrups do have sucralose, and some people have reported that this has kicked them out of ketosis.

Luckily, you can get around this by making your own! You can make your own flavored simple syrup (using liquid monk fruit sweetener or allulose), then include that in your cream soda. It might take a little trial and error, but this is the perfect way to add some fun variety to your keto or sugar free lifestyle!

Tips for the BEST Sugar Free Cream Soda

• Don’t be afraid to test the measurements for yourself! You may prefer more or less syrup, more or less cream.
• Try different flavors! Torani and Jordan’s Skinny Syrups are two popular brands that carry sugar-free syrups. They come with fruity flavors, unique colorful flavors, fun fancy combinations, and delicious coffee-flavored syrups that are great for kids who want to copy adult coffee drinks without the caffeine!
• Make fresh — Do not make ahead of time. The fizz of the sparkling water, the thick heavy cream, and the sweet syrup are all at their best right when you pour and mix them with ice!
• Try with half and half instead of heavy cream. If you need a lighter beverage but still want the creamy texture, swap out the heavy cream with half and half! If you just want an Italian soda, skip the dairy completely.

What to serve with a Keto Vanilla Cream Soda

To me, cream sodas are perfect for kids’ parties and diner foods! Cream soda is so easy to customize for everyone’s preferences… You can mix and match flavors, then enjoy with or without the cream. Here are some of my favorite dishes for this drink:

• Serve kid-friendly favorites like Keto Chicken Nuggets, Pepperoni Pizza Bites, or Pizza Chaffles. Add fun side dishes like Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots or Crispy Zucchini Chips to round out the meal without a ton of carbs.
• Serve with diner favorites like Keto Bacon Cheeseburgers, a Chicken Bacon Ranch Chaffle Sandwich, or even Steak and Eggs. Juicy diner food with a sweet homemade soda feels indulgent even without gluten or sugar! Adding some Crispy Keto Fries can’t hurt, either!
• Enjoy with a sweet snack… Think about these Air Fryer Brownies, Keto Whoopie Pies, or this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie.
