I can't believe it's low carb chocolate mousse

This recipe is not quick, but it is an indulgent dessert that will definitely have you asking yourself how could this possibly be keto?

Ingredients: 
4 large egg yolks 
1/4 cup Swerve sugar substitute +another 2T. In the whipped cream 
2 cups heavy cream 
8 ounces (90%) or darker chocolate or Lilys chocolate chips (90% chocolate will have some sugar in it, Lily's chocolate chips are stevia sweetened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
Apx 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder 

Directions 
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, 1/4 cup Swerve, and 3/4 cup heavy cream, vanilla and chocolate. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until mixture coats back of spoon, 3 to 4 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Put into a bowl; chill until cool. (use plastic wrap over the top to avoid "skin" from forming).

2. With an electric mixer, beat remaining 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with remaining 2 tablespoons swerve, espresso powder, and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula. 

3. Spoon into serving dishes; chill, covered, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Vanilla-Almond Creme Brulee

Easier Than You Think Creme Brulee Recipes I have worked on several recipes and Del was nice enough to taste with me. ;-) She finally told me the other night that "I had perfected this", so now I feel like I can share! Extreme creamy custard on the bottom, and a hard, crunchy top layer of "burnt" sugar.

Olive oil cake with chocolate ganache

The olive oil in this cake makes it super moist, which is hard to achieve when working with coconut flour. Infused olive oils work wonderful in this cake; I have a blood orange infused olive oil that I will substitute into the recipe sometimes. The chocolate ganache is quick and easy, but tastes sublime! Enjoy! 1 cup olive oil 3/4 cup Coconut flour 3/4 cup erythritol 6 large eggs 2 tsp Baking powder 1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp Pink Salt INSTRUCTIONS Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Beat eggs to double the  original volume in another bowl. Add olive oil, and vanilla extract to eggs and combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet as you combine. Pour into a greased pan (I used a 9 inch springform pan). Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (until edges will have browned and toothpick comes out clean). Allow to cool completely, then cover in chocolate ganache.  Ganache: 1/2 cup heavy whipping cre...
