Chocolate Cream Cake

Dive into the deliciousness of keto-friendly indulgence with this simple yet exquisite recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 package keto-friendly chocolate cake mix
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 packet gelatin (to stabilize the whipped cream)
• Water (as required by the gelatin packet)

Instructions

1. Prepare the chocolate cake according to the package instructions and bake as directed. Once cooled, cut into small rounds to create the base for your cake bites.
2. In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with water (as per the packet’s instructions) and set aside to bloom.
3. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
4. Gently heat the bloomed gelatin until it dissolves completely, then slowly incorporate it into the whipped cream, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. This creates your stabilized whipped cream.
5. Assemble the cake bites by placing a dollop of the stabilized whipped cream between two chocolate cake rounds.
6. Chill for an hour before serving to allow the cream to set.
