More Crimbo concoctions...

I excelled myself on Sunday morning by waking even earlier than my usual 5am..... 4am this time! So I made use of the quiet time and set to work in the kitchen!

Finally attempted keto mince pies, which are actually made with a frozen berry medley (lowest carb fruits). I even rolled out the 'pastry' which is no mean feat when it is gluten free!!! BUT they taste brilliant - the added spices definitely give them the tang of mince pies.

I had leftover filling which is now "jam". Also made a batch of lemon curd, some keto rolls and had a hilarious failure with my first Baileys attempt. A mis-hear meant that I added way too much thickener which caused it to set like a dense mousse in the bottle! Attempt two to follow!!

You are so creative!

They look lovely @domane
You certainly are creative in the kitchen, now I’ve got the taste for my Mums mince pies which were most definitely not ketogenic.
I’m guessing marzipan would work if you substitute the sugar for some kind of sweetener?

 

[domane]

Yes, you can make keto marzipan with very finely ground almonds and a sweetener called erythritol, which is a sugar alcohol - in that it tastes sweet but the body doesn't have any insulin reaction... it passes through the body without issue. The "confectioners" version is best because its fine, like icing sugar. The normal stuff is granulated which would make a gritty marzipan.

Funnily enough I attempted custard with almond milk.
Let's just say a playdoh rubbery like thing slid out!

I can deal with nut butter, but my skills beyond are milk comes from something that walks.

I drunk the Baileys.

I love using Baileys in things.
Chocolate and Baileys Eton Mess is lush.
Though shops own brand works just as well as the real one.
