This Hack Makes the Easiest Low Carb Donuts

[@kathyforester3791]

For the chocolate-just heat the HWC, take off the heat and then add the chocolate. The heat in the cream will melt the chips and should be smooth and shiney😊

[@alaeal-sabban4576]

I've used this tip. It works really well.

[@tullysoulliere8103]

Yep ! and i put my cream in the microwave tii a bitt of steam starts and remove it and then our the chocolate chips into the hot wc let it sett with a paper plate bover the bowl and stir till shiny and smooth. Use a bit more cream if you want it a tad more spreadable.

[@spirals73]

Yup, ganache. You can put that mixture in a mixer and whip it into a fluffy frosting texture as well.

[@firetopman]

Friendly suggestion on the filling: Poke a hole down into the donut first to create space with a straw or skewer and move around to make a nice hole. What a great recipe for those times when you are jonesing for a Boston creme.

[@hartmanartsource]

A boba straw works great for this!

[@firetopman]

@@hartmanartsource Perfect!

[@MrsBrit1]

For ganache, heat the cream, remove from heat, pour hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute or two and whisk. Second option is use a pot of boiling water with a glass or metal bowl on top. Water should not touch the bowl! That is very important! Add cream and chocolate to the bowl and whisk once it begins melting. Remove from heat. Dip the item directly into the ganache or pour over. Do not heat the chocolate directly on the stovetop! That's why you're getting lumpy, matte chocolate with the oil separating out. It's too hot and separates.

[@Solitude11-11]

It’s called seizing, two things cause it as MrsBrit1 said, overheating and contact with water. You can often rescue it from overheat by cooling as quickly as you can by putting in a cold bowl then adding some more chocolate solid and stirring that in, with a bit of oil if needed. If it’s got water in, add, bizarrely, boiling water a little at a time. It melts the granulation. Oil will often work too.

[@jbeargrr]

That's ingenious! I like the black label buns better than the Hawaiian ones, but that's the brand I like best. I'm a fan of The Great British Baking Show, even though I can't eat that stuff on keto. Anyway, one of the previous judges, Mary Berry, was fond of pointing out that chocolate melts in a child's pocket. You don't need a lot of heat to melt it. As some others said, heat the cream, and pour it over the chocolate. Stir until it melts. Those look great, I have to try this.

[@heidiklukken1884]

Be patient with the heated cream poured over the chocolate chips - the heat will melt them but it takes a little time - so just a little patience ladies 😉

The chocolate would be smoother with a 1/2 to a full teaspoon of coconut oil. Worked for me when I made cake pops.

[@robinmp3841]

yes, or butter will do too in normal unketo circumstances.❤

[@spirals73]

[@robinmp3841]

[@connienewcomb8447]

I used dollar, or dinner roll size buns because I couldn't find hot dog buns and they worked too. Didn't need to slice in 1/2 ,just egg washed the top and sides of buns. Air fried at 400 for 5 minutes. After cooling filled with pudding and topped with chocolate. Did pudding and chocolate according to twins directions. They were yummy.

[@cathygordon1758]

Hi Ladies! I decided to make these today, I used keto hamburger buns and chocolate pudding on inside! Yummy!

[@melaniedejonge5234]

Also, to avoid the pain of filling them, you could just air fry the halves separately, put the chocolate on the top halves and pipe the vanilla filling onto the bottom halves, and then just gently set the top half on top of the filling for a more eclair-ish experience. Or fill with whipped cream and top with powdered sugar substitute for a cream puff dup.

[@lauramcquade2438]

I love your videos! This one is especially fun! Also, I went keto in February last year. My husband lost 20 lbs after 'saying' he was going to go keto. It took over a year for me to drop a single pound, but I kept with it. I had stopped getting on the scale. Just ate as I was supposed to. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I'd lost 20 lbs! Thank you girls!

[@mariondunlop651]

If you add a little butter, it makes the chocolate very shiny like a tablespoon or so

[@lesliebooth2833]

You ladies are just the best!!! All the recipes you bring are so entertaining and almost all are pretty terrific but THIS one is a winner winner chicken dinner!!!! And I’ve been reading the commenters with the jelly-filled and lemon curd ideas, uhhh, yes please!!! Fantastic vid girls!! Thanks so much!!

[@denisec6577]

I love your channel! Today I learned how I can use almond milk with the sugar free instant pudding. I tried it a couple of years ago and it was a wet mess, it wouldn’t set up. I never tried again, but in this video I learned from you guys that all I would have to do is cut the amount of milk in half. Yay! 👍🏼😀

[@lorim.4136]

If the result is too strong and sweet due to proportions using pudding mix and 1 1/5 c almond milk, you can buy additional instant modified starch and add it when using 2 c almond milk. I use instant ultra gel.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good afternoon Keto Twins. Those homemade KETO chocolate donuts look absolutely delicious - especially the Boston Cream doughnut, which I'm definitely going to try. Thanks so much for another of your great recipes!!

[@ChaChaGigi]

I’ve been doing that with the hero Hawaiian rolls using the sugar-free whip cream and put a little squirt in there and then spread your chocolate on top.

Yummmm

[@normarinker3909]

Dunno how i missed this one! Having a keto twins rainday here lol this is such a cool idea. Thank you! They actually look like legit eclairs.

[@lanamcquown3063]

I just made these and they were so good considering how easy they are to make. I never would have thought to do do this. My filling didn’t get to the bottom 1/3 of the bun, so next time I will fill from both sides. Next time I will also scoop out some of the breading from the fatter side to make more room for the pudding, I seen this in another video and wonder how it would work in this recipe. This is a great base recipe for so many other creations, someone earlier commented on using hamburger buns and fruit filling for another kind of donut experience. I’m excited to explore other options with these buns. Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe with us.

[@kimhr1069]

Thank you for the great video! I really appreciate you sharing your finds. I will be making these today. What about filling these with sugar free jam and topping them with a glaze? Thanks again. You two are such an inspiration! ♥️♥️

[@martgrigsby3404]

Nice substitute for a real eclair! I was thinking keto lemon curd would be delicious! Make a lemon glaze for the top! YUM!!!!!! Oh and that would be a donut not an eclair!😂🤣😂🤣

[@jemsmom97]

Just discovered those keto Hawaiian buns and they are really good! I can’t see this recipe working with any other bun. You need the sweetness of this bun. Thx to everyone who mentioned how to melt the chocolate chips in warm heavy whipping cream.

[@tnaseesal]

So easy. I do just 2 at a time whenever I want them. Throw some egg wash on top and sides, airfry 3 minutes, open them up and slather on the filling (I've used the sf pudding and used keto lemon curd). Close the top and add the chocolate topping (sf chocolate chips, coconut oil and hwc). Crazy good.

[@dejeanblackburn8084]

I just made these with the keto hamburger buns. They were awesome and will be an every weekend thing! Thank you!!❤️

[@lighthousefan5538]

White chocolate pudding for the filling would be great too!

[@NingyoNiffer]

Yay! A flaky donut recipe! I saw something very similar on reddit a while back, where the person used the Franz keto hamburger buns to make jelly filled donuts. Maybe you could revisit this with that combo? When I have wanted donuts on keto, I used Swerve boxed keto cake mixes, I use the chocolate to make chocolate with chocolate glaze, or my second favorite, using the yellow/white cake mix to make apple cider donuts (batter is 1 box of the vanilla cake mix; about 2 packets of sugarfree apple cider instant mix; and about 3 tbsp of Jordan's caramel skinny coffee syrup, and outside is coated in coconut oil spray and dusted with cinnamon sweetener mix). These are both awesome and pretty passable 'cake' donuts! Thnx for the cool video and idea 💖

[@jem5252]

Treat No. 2 is layering Catalina Crunch Honey Graham cereal pieces in a small container of your choice. Next, place cream cheese on top of cereal pieces (the cream cheese can be sweetened with a bit of Swerve Confectioners sugar to taste preference and a little bit of water or almond milk for ease of blending), followed by your choice of low-sugar jelly/preserves. If you like, top it off with a bit of whipped cream. Eat with a spoon. If the cereal pieces sit for a while and they soften a bit, it’s more like a graham cracker crust. They can be crushed to make a finer crust. It can also all be mushed together so the cereal pieces soften faster. Haven’t tried it frozen yet. I love that it can be made in only a couple of minutes, no fuss or baking. I made it today for the first time, so I want to experiment a little with flavored cream cheese (as long as they are low-sugar ingredients), as well as the toppings for the cheesecake.

[@joanette123]

I do this too! But gave up putting the Catalina crunch on the bottom and just put it on the top of it all. Keeps it crunchier longer.

[@lkfndr6045]

I have Bavarian creme flavoring drops I would add to the pudding filling and I would use the Ghirardelli Majestic cocoa and keto confectioners sugar and heavy whipping cream to make a yummy chocolate Icing. I would definitely use the Hawaiian hot dog buns. I would use a straw to make a path for the filling in the donut. This might be the best hack I've seen! Thank you!

[@jennb9139]

Finally made these today…they are tasty. Used Simply Delish vanilla pudding, but think I would try something else next time. Pudding didn’t have much flavor, even though I added vanilla extract. For chocolate ganache, I heated heavy whipping cream in microwave then stirred into chocolate chips and it was silky smooth. Super easy keto donut recipe. Thanks for sharing!

[@vickimartin7601]

I saw Serious Keto heat the cream, stir in the chocolate, and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Come back to it and stir, repeat as needed so as not to overheat the chocolate. He said it can burn easily.

I always love your comments .. you always make me laugh . That in itself is a gift . Thank you for all that you do.

[@justamelia1968]

If you don't mind using the microwave I saw a quick fudge recipe that would also make a great donut topping. The recipe was 1 c chocolate chips + 1/2 c heavy cream then microwave for 1 minute & then stir. It will harden back up so it's best to do this just before you're ready to "frost" your donuts. For 4 donuts I'd probably use 1/4-1/2 c chocolate chips and 1/4 c heavy cream & microwave for 30-45 seconds. Once it's heated it will continue to melt as you stir it. Easy peasy & delicious.

I saw that video and thought what a great idea. Thanks for making these.

[@falconlore9666]

Chocolate will lose it's shine if you overheat it and the temper is lost. I noticed several mentions of scalding the Heavy Whipping Cream and then pouring over the chocolate and letting the heat melt the chocolate or a double broiler method which would both work how ever I do have an extra comments to make. Ganache should not break like that when you are cutting it should have a fudgier consistency so maybe a bit more heavy cream in the future to help with that. Also Keto chocolates tend to have other additives, that are not found in normal chocolate chips, these can change the consistency and melting properties so you sometimes have to take that into account. Or buy unsweetened chocolate and melt your sweetener of choice into the scalded heavy cream to get the consistency and sweetness you desire. As a side note if you decide to try Unsweetened chocolate you can also buy food grade raw cocoa butter to add to your unsweetened chocolate along with sweetened condensed heavy cream to get a more "milk chocolate" flavor.

[@paulaoyedele2081]

What a neat idea! I can easily take Samyah's bread recipe, cut the recipe in half and add vanilla and extra sweetness to the dough before molding into hotdogs....as an eclair donut. I am wowed!

I make Christmas candy and I use a small amount of baker’s wax in my chocolate glaze. Very shiny and sets up well.

[@steveagz5528]

I'm gonna try what I use all the time, which is sugar free pudding, mixed with Greek yogurt for my filling

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

Ganache - heat the cream first.. pour it on the chips and let it sit to melt before stirring it up.. if it's not completely melted.. double boiler time. I think I'd want to fold the pudding, half and half with whipped cream.. maybe stabilized whipped cream so it doesn't split.

[@metaspherz]

[@jenniferdunbar5060]

I made it! It’s delicious! I used the So Delish vanilla pudding, but whipped it with heavy whipping cream to make a cream instead of a custard.

Thanks for sharing it! Oh, and I did out vanilla in my egg wash!

[@marymac24]

When making the chocolate you should use melted coconut oil or melted butter. That gives you the shiny finish. Looks so good. Sprinkles on top would be good too.

[@anniem1466]

ROFL, love the turd factor... love your humor and self deprecation and willingness to try things! Just LOVE !!!

[@joeblow9805]

I agree with MrsBrit1-Try a double boiler for your ganache. Half chocolate/half cream, and warm your chocolate first. This hot dog roll idea looks like a great hack. And the pork rind donuts batter in previous video was kinda thin, so you might try adding a tablespoon or so of coconut flour to thicken. That might make it easier to get rounder results. Love your videos. I am an identical twin, too.

My mom use to own a candy store and used a lot of chocolate. After melting the cream and chocolate together and stirring until smooth, she would take it off the heat and add a tablespoon of butter. I don't know if it works with sugar free chocolate but it's worth a shot. I will definitely be trying it the next time I melt chocolate.

Try melting your chocolate in a double boiler. If you do not have one, you can put a stainless steal bowl in a pot of boiling water. This insulates your chocolate from burning, keeps a consistent heat. The other thing for melting chocolate chips or bars on keto is to use a Wilton melting pot used for chocolate melts.. it has a silicon insert and I love it for melting baking chocolate for DIY keto chocolate syrup, just add water and sweetener of your choice

To make the chocolate glossy, warm the cream on the stove and then pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl.

[@homiedonthateg]

Look what y’all made 😛😛😛 I need to really make these

[@robinmp3841]

try heating water, put another pot in the hot water, immediately turn off the burner, pour cream into warm top pot, stir til warm take top pot out of hot water set on counter or cool burner then add chips, let sit until you see they are ALMOST all melted. try to stay one step ahead of the chocolate, Chocolate is finicky and dont like heat so do it hot, never boil, never directly on the stove and never melt completely, the heat will continue to melt the chocolate with the pot on the counter or cool burner. Thats why you never over stir it either, its all in the warm melting on its own, chocolate dries out and you can over work it. good luck!❤
