Keto Cakes gone wrong… to a winner “combo” dessert

I made some keto vegan cupcakes. Except they didn’t turn out so good. I think it was the baking powder. They didn’t turn out well so I made a second batch using a different recipe. Also not so good. They were a bit fudgier than I expected. And didn’t rise. But they taste OK.

So I thought to rescue it and make a dessert from it.

And OMG yum. And simple. Actually this is my favourite type of dessert where there are a few flavours and textures mixed together.

A combination of berries, ice cream, cake and nuts. Yum. 😋🤤

This was tonight’s one:

4 strawberries 🍓 sliced (any berries will do – I just have whatever is on special usually for the week. I think at this stage it will be strawberries for a while as blueberries and raspberries are over $5 a punnet)
1 mini failed keto cupcake (cut into 8 pieces – you can just crumble it with your hands but I had the knife already). If you haven’t got any failed cake 🙃, omit or use whatever left over cake like thing you have. Brownie perhaps? or Paper wrapped sponge cake? Or Cookie?
2 scoops of keto friendly ice cream (I’ve used coconut yoghurt or just dollop cream or whipped cream in other version). Tonight’s was my vegan keto coconut ice cream (peanut butter).
sprinkle of salted peanuts 🥜 (I’ve used all different options of nuts — whatever I have on hand)

How simple and yum. If you want to be fancy throw a couple of mint leaves on top.

Did you know that 🤔 trifle is a dessert that’s often made when you have a failed cake. Usually a burnt cake and you need to cut off the failed bits to take the ok bits but hide them in something else. A trifle is like a big parfait. With layers of cake, jelly (jello) and custard. Usually served in a glass bowl so it looks fancy.

Hmmm maybe that’s what I should have done. Put my dessert into a fancy goblet or glass and eaten out of that. It may have been a smaller portion too! Next time! I’m all for making something look fancy or cute. Somehow it makes it more exciting to eat.

Combo Dessert

I seem to make what I call a “combo dessert” often… as evidenced by this collection of photos. I take photos of most of my food but only maybe 70%… so you can imagine there are other times where I’ve had something similar and didn’t take a photo!
