Want to truly pamper your family or your guests? Serve them this spectacular low-carb, ketogenic dessert! I call it Chocolaty Floating Islands: it’s a French-style indulgence in which fluffy meringue islands float elegantly on top of rich, velvety chocolate custard. (This sublime treat is perfect for those who don’t tolerate dairy, by the way.)

Jellies, Custards, Mousses & Puddings
Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding
Those who are familiar with me know I cannot start my day without a big mug of strong, black coffee. A good start for the day simply cries for the sumptuous smell of coffee, which wakes up all your senses. And when you taste the first sip of freshly-made coffee, you feel each cell in your body wake up. Ok, maybe I’m a coffee addict, but that’s not too bad of an addiction, I think.
For a change, I enjoyed my morning coffee in another form. To be honest, I haven’t been a big lover of the extremely trendy chia puddings, maybe because I don’t like chia seeds. Well, to be even more honest, I haven’t even tried chia pudding, so I cannot really tell if I like it or not!
I got rid of my lack of knowledge, and did some low-carb chia pudding experiments. The winner proved this Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding, which is a perfect all-in-one breakfast, including that sumptuous coffee! I’m sure you will love it, too.

Eggsquisite Eggnog Sauce
I’m in heaven! It’s now finally the time of the year when I can indulge in creamy and velvety eggnog. I just love those characteristic scents of rich cream, rum and nutmeg. The first sip of this thick nectar is the perfect enjoyment. After a few sips comes the feeling of ultimate relaxation!
This time I wanted to make eggnog flavored sauce with which you can crown your low-carb pies and cakes. Just think of a pumpkin pie smothered with this thick and rich sauce. Try it with cranberries, too! In the end of the post is an interesting variation for an elegant dessert. NB. This sauce contains raw egg.

Sugar-Free Chocolate Cheesecake Dip, Mousse, Frosting, Filling or Spread
Now we are talking about a versatile delicacy! First I dipped my low-carb cookies in this scrumptious sugar-free chocolate cheesecake dip, but then I realized that this treat works also perfectly as mousse. After that I filled my whoopie pies with it… and then spread it on a slice of almond flour bread. Oh mine, it couldn’t get any better! Or could it? Yes, it could: only 5 healthy ingredients and easy as pie!

Brains, Bloody Brains (Halloween)
If you ever take it into your head to get yourself a human brain gelatin mold (c’mon, what could be more appropriate for Halloween?) this is a must-try recipe.
Naturally, for the rest — or the beginning — of the year, this recipe works perfectly when the dessert is made in some other type of gelatin mold and the strawberry jam is used either sauce or served from a serving bowl.

Airy Strawberries and Cream Frosting
This sugar-free frosting is bursting with flavor of real strawberries. Unlike creamy and buttery frostings, this dreamy meringue-like frosting is airy and fluffy, not heavy. Real strawberries guarantee the authentic strawberry taste without anything artificial. Using freeze-dried strawberries makes also sure that the frosting doesn’t turn out watery, like it would with fresh strawberries.
This frosting is perfect for cakes and cupcakes. You can also make gelatin dessert — just spoon the mixture into dessert bowls and let set in the fridge for an hour or two. A perfect way to finish any tasty summer meal!

Low-Carb “Limoncello” Mousse
Limoncello is famous Italian liqueur. As a typical liqueur it contains plenty of sugar and is thus not suitable for a very low-carb lifestyle. Therefore, I developed a quick, sugar-free low-carb “Limoncello”, which is used for seasoning this airy dessert mousse.
First, the grated, yellow lemon peel is steeped in vodka at least for overnight. The fluid is then carefully pressed through a strainer and added to a mixture of mascarpone and sweetener. The dessert is finally lightened with beaten egg whites, which round the flavors and make the texture as airy and fluffy mousse.
This adult-only dessert is great for any New Year’s Eve party. The whole family dessert can be made by substituting lemon juice for vodka.

Easy Low-Carb Pumpkin Custard
Fall is full of intensive smells and colors. Pumpkins glow bright orange, yellow, green and other fancy colors. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg… The kitchen is fragrant with the scent of delicious spices when it’s fall.
This easy low-carb pumpkin custard is a cinch to make. No preheating and cooling before baking. Just whip everything together, pour into ramekins and bake. The custard has velvety texture and smooth taste with luscious pumpkin and intensive spices, which is just what you need when it’s getting chilling outside and you want something rich to feel comfortable and satisfied.
