Keto Dragon Cake

Ingredients:

  • 6 egg whites
  • 40 mini-scoops Stevia Powder - 10 scoops for meringue, 10 for the whipped cream and 20 for the melted chocolate
  • 1 Unsweetened Bar of Baker's Chocolate
  • 1 Tbs. Oil
  • 1 Large Package of Strawberries -retain a nice shaped one for the dragon's head
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Various cuttings from the Lemon Verbena and Lemon Balm herbs
  • Butter for greasing the parchment paper


My guide...ha ha ha!  This was a daunting task.

Parchment Paper on a cookie sheet.

Use 3 containers to separate the eggs.

Add the whipped egg whites to buttered parchment paper.

Inspect the Lemon Vebena and Lemon Balm.

Cut the fully cooked meringue in half lengthwise.

I cooked the Meringue for 1/2 hour at 250 degrees then 1 hour at 200 degrees

Place sliced strawberries on the bottom portion of the meringue.

Add the top meringue. Cut 4 "leg" sprigs and a tongue for the head strawberry.

Cut the body in 2 places to give it a curved effect. Add whipped cream, sliced strawberries and leaves for decoration.

I used a toothpick to gouge the eye holes so I could use the chocolate as "glue" to add the leaf eyes.

Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave add the 20 scoops of stevia and Tbs. of oil.  Be sure the strawberries are washed and dried thoroughly.

The dragons "treasure" that he guards are the chocolate dipped strawberries.

I had extra melted chocolate so I drizzled everything with it.  The dragon wasn't too pleased, but we sure were when it came time to eat him.

Voila!  The Dragon with his treasure.  He's Keto and was perfect for my daughter's birthday cake! Notice I say WAS...poor dragon never had a chance!
