The ketogenic or keto diet is based on a principle of increasing ketone bodies that occurs through stimulation of the organism. The stimulation of the organism is caused by a low carbohydrate diet. This clashes hard with the Mediterranean diet that we have where everything is based on white flour. When it comes to sweets it is even more difficult to find an alternative, but it is there and it is very healthy: keto sweets with almond flour. In this article I present three super good recipes suitable for three different occasions:

• waffles keto;
• soft cake for snacking and soaking (to be accompanied with a glass of milk or hot tea);
• keto birthday cake

Waffles keto Waffles
are typical Belgian sweets that have now conquered the whole world. They can be eaten for breakfast as well as for a snack, in summer and winter. They are not difficult to prepare but, you must have the waffle maker! If you are following a ketogenic diet, you don’t necessarily have to give up these sweets. It is indeed possible to create low-carb waffles and therefore keto! General informations:

• Preparation: 20 minutes ;
• Cooking: 6 minutes
• Quantity: with these doses you should be able to obtain about 11 waffles, but it also depends on the type of machine you have;

Ingrediants:

• 40 gr of erythritol ;

• 150 gr of fresh cream ;
• 3 eggs ;
• 15 gr of melted butter (not hot);

As you can see, yeast is not present in the ingredients because by rising the waffles become spongy, more delicate and difficult to take out of the mold. Preparation:

• Lightly butter the molds to facilitate the extraction of the keto sweets;
• Preheat the waffle maker ;
• Take a very large bowl and put all the ingredients in it;
• Take a whisk (hand or electric) and start mixing until it forms a fluid batter;
• Now pour the mixture into the molds until they are almost full (do not fill them completely!);
• Close the lid;
• If you also do not have a temperature-controlled machine but it self-regulates, count 6 minutes from this moment ;
  Be careful not to overcook them. The first time maybe give it a try and after 4 or 5 minutes open the lid to see how your machine cooks.
• Take the first waffles out of the machine and pour in the remaining dough (based on the number of waffles your machine makes). Remember to always mix the batter before pouring it.
• After placing the waffles on the plate, “season” to taste or leave them natural. An example of a topping is some low carb whipped cream and jam.

Tips and solutions for the birthday
cake Making a birthday cake is always a big undertaking, or so we imagine it in our head!
Follow these tips to avoid running into problems or possibly solve them:

• The pan must be non-stick and you must grease and flour it correctly. If this does not happen, the cake will remain glued to the pan and you will have to ruin it to remove it;
• Go for processed Dutch cocoa powder. It is less acidic and softer than the classic cocoa powder;
• Before frosting, make sure the cake is completely cooled. In fact, putting the icing on keto (and not) sweets that are still hot, would force you to do it all over again because it would melt.

From whatever recipe you want to start, always remember that a dessert to finish the meal, increases the good mood and sometimes, is just what you need to have the tenacity to continue a diet.
