INGREDIENTS

Whoopie Pies

• 1 stick (113g or 8 Tablespoons) Unsalted Butter
  
• 3/4 cup Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener (Buy on Amazon Here)
  
• 1 Large Egg
  
• 1.5 cups Almond Flour (Buy Nature’s Eats Blanched Almond Flour on Amazon Here)
  
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Most groceries stores sell McCormick which works great)
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Fine Salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (Buy Anthony’s Brand on Amazon Here)
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  
• 1 cup (130g) Carrots, peeled and finely chopped or grated
  
• 1/2 cup (60g) Pecans, finely chopped
  
  Maple Frosting
  
  
• 4 oz (113g) Cream Cheese
  
• 1/2 stick (57g or 4 Tablespoons) Unsalted Butter
  
• 1/4 cup Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener (Buy on Amazon Here)
  
• 1 teaspoon Maple Extract (Most grocery stores sell McCormick which works great)
  
  INSTRUCTIONS
  
  Whoopie Pie “Halves”
  
  

1. Use a food processor to chop up your carrots and pecans into tiny pieces that can mix well into dough
   
2. Heat oven to 350°F. Microwave the butter for 30 seconds to soften, but it should not be melted if possible.
   
3. Place the butter into a mixing bowl and beat with the sweetener and salt. Add the vanilla extract and egg. Mix together.
   
4. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (almond flour, xanthan gum, cinnamon, and baking powder)
   
5. Beat in the dry mixture into wet mixture (do this in stages; mix in half then the other half)
   
6. Stir in your chopped carrots and pecans from step #1
   
7. Using a cookie scooper (2 tsp size; 1 1/8" diameter like this one on Amazon), place scoops of dough onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper
   
8. Gently press the balls of dough down to flatten them out slightly. Bake for 12 minutes (at 6 minutes, take pans out, rotate positions, and put back in the oven)
   
   Frosting
   
   
9. In a medium-sized bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together with a mixer until fully combined. It helps if the butter and cream cheese have softened some before doing this (you can zap them in the microwave for 15 seconds to help)
   
10. OPTIONAL: Pour the granulated sweetener into a blender or food processor. Blend the sweetener until it is fine, fluffy, and powdered. Powdering your sweetener makes for a smoother frosting.
    
11. Add the sweetener and maple extract to your bowl and beat slowly until the sweetener is incorporated (go slow to avoid it getting blown into the air)
    
12. Once the sweetener is incorporated, beat on high for 2 minute or until fluffy
    
13. Use a piping bag (something like these) to pipe the maple frosting onto the whoopie pie “halves” you baked in the steps above. Make a sandwich with each “halve” with the icing in the middle.
    
14. Enjoy! Keep any remaining carrot cake whoopie pies in an airtight container in your fridge. If refrigerated, they should be good for about a week.

INGREDIENTSPecan Crust

• 1 1/2 cup Blanched almond flour
  
• 1/2 cup Pecan meal (or make it by grinding pecans in a food processor)
  
• 2 tbsp Powdered erythritol (or granulated)
  
• 1/3 cup Butter (measured solid, then melted)
  
  Cream Cheese Layer
  
  
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  
• 1/4 cup Powdered erythritol
  
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  
• 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
  
  Chocolate Layer - Option 1 (Old Version)
  
  
• 1 cup Heavy cream
  
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
  
• 1/2 cup Powdered erythritol
  
• 3 oz Sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped)
  
• 2 tbsp Butter
  
• 1 tsp Xanthan gum
  
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  
  Chocolate Layer - Option 2 (New Version)
  
  
• 1/3 cup Cocoa powder
  
• 1 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  
• 1/3 cup Powdered erythritol
  
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  
  Whipped Cream Layer
  
  
• 1 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  
• 2 tbsp Powdered erythritol
  
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  
• 1 oz Sugar-free dark chocolate (shaved using a peeler, grater, or shaver)
  
  INSTRUCTIONSCrust
  
  

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x9 in (23x23 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
   
2. In a large bowl, stir together almond flour, pecan meal, and powdered erythritol. Stir in melted butter until a crumbly dough forms. Press evenly into the lined baking dish.
   
3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden and firm. Set aside to cool.
   
   Cream Cheese Layer
   
   
4. While the crust is baking, make the cream cheese layer. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream, vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol together, until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in the softened cream cheese, a bit at a time, until well combined.
   
5. Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over it.
   
   Chocolate Layer - Option 1 (old version, like pudding)
   
   
6. While the crust is cooling, make the chocolate pudding layer. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, sugar-free dark chocolate, butter, and powdered erythritol. Cook over medium-low to low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and sweetener dissolves (about 5-10 minutes). Be careful not to get the heat too high to avoid burning the chocolate.
   
7. Gradually sprinkle the xanthan gum into the saucepan a little at a time (don't just dump it in) and immediately whisk to incorporate. Continue to heat for about 5 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove from heat, then whisk in the vanilla extract.
   
8. Cool the chocolate pudding for 15 minutes (it will thicken, but still be liquid). You can add more xanthan gum if needed, but don't add too much or it will get slimy. Stir/whisk again after cooling, then pour it over the cream cheese layer.
   
9. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure it's directly against the surface to prevent a film forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
   
   Chocolate Layer - Option 2 (new version, faster)
   
   
10. While the crust is cooling, make the chocolate layer. Beat the heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Beat in cocoa powder gradually.
    
11. Spread the chocolate whipped cream over the cream cheese layer.
    
    Whipped Cream Layer
    
    
12. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream, vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol together, until stiff peaks form.
    
13. Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate layer. Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top.
    
14. Refrigerate for 1-2 more hours (or as long as needed until serving) to fully set.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  
• 1 cup Almond Milk
  
• 1/2 cup Swerve Granulated Sweetener
  
• 4 Egg Yolks
  
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Creme Stevia
  
• 2 tbsp Vodka (optional)
  
  Instructions
  
  

1. Create an ice bath with two bowls. Ice water in the bottom bowl with the second bowl sitting on top. Set aside for later.
   
2. In a saucepan, over medium heat, bring the heavy cream, milk, and granulated sweetener to 175 degrees F, whisking as needed.
   
3. While the ice cream liquid base is heating up, divide the eggs and put your yolks into a medium-sized bowl.
   
4. Once the sweetened milk has reached 175 degrees, remove it from the heat, and pour 1 cup into a measuring cup.
   
5. SLOWLY pour 1 cup of the hot sweetened milk mixture over the egg yolks while whisking the egg yolks vigorously. This will temper the eggs, slowly cooking them, without scrambling them. Once done, you should have a liquid mixture of egg yolks and sweetened milk.
   
6. Now reverse that process and pour the egg/milk mixture back into the saucepan, while whisking the liquid in the pan.
   
7. Return the saucepan to the burner, and continue heating over medium heat until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F.
   
8. Remove from heat and pour the hot ice cream mixture into the ice bath bowl. Let the ice cream cool for 10 minutes in the ice bath, then remove the top bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and put into the refrigerator for 3+ hours. I don’t recommend letting it sit in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours.
   
9. Once the ice-cream mixture is cooled, remove it from the refrigerator and add the remaining ingredients. Then churn following your ice-cream maker’s instructions.
   
10. You can enjoy it straight from the ice-cream maker as a soft-serve ice-cream or put it in an ice-cream container and freeze for at least 3 hours to harden it.

I am a avid baker and when my boyfriend started Keto diet I really wanted to try and make some low carb/Keto desserts ( I don’t do either diet but I have been eating mostly low/reduced carbs since we live together). I tried every sweetener out there, stevia, Truvia, Splenda and many mix/sugar substitutes but they all had a weird aftertaste or the ratio is different than regular sugar and alters the texture of the recipe. Finally decided to get swerve (ordered on amazon) and it was a game changer! I have been able to recreate lots of favorites including brownies, cookies and blueberry muffins, banana muffins and more and I always use swerve now. Tastes just like regular sugar in the recipes and can be used cup for cup as regular sugar. They even have a powdered (confectioners) one that can be used to make frosting.

Have you possibly considered Quest Multipurpose Mix? I haven't bought it personally (yet) but I imagine they made it for the exact reason you're looking for- no flavoring but used as a baking base. Amazon Link
