gluten_freeKeto-Friendly recs:
Here are some Keto-friendly sites and a product, that I like for desserts. Not all the recipes are specifically labeled as GF but keto-friendly stuff usually is GF, so most of these recipes will be okay. Ketosert's flourless ones, especially, but most of these are very much not dairy or egg-free.
Keto upgrade - the chef here used to be a restaurant pastry chef and she uses her skills to adapt recipes to be both keto-friendly and maximally yummy. But note that she sometimes uses added wheat gluten in recipes, so avoid those.
Ketoserts is an old favourite whose vids are nicely brief, with soothing music and reasonably simple recipes. The channel is all baking, much of which is cakes, cookies, etc. Also, watch out for recipes with added wheat gluten.
Horley's low-carb protein 33 bars - I'm able to get these through my online grocery delivery, and they should be available elsewhere I imagine. They're all GF. My fave is the salted banana caramel one but they're all good for a treat or "dessert". They make me feel like Rodney McKay snatching a power bar in a crisis to stave off hypoglycaemia!
Also, a good way to have keto-friendly strawberries is to dip them in low-carb maple flavoured syrup (sorry, Rodney!). I use Queen sugar-free maple flavoured syrup which is available in Aussie and NZ, and another brand option is Lakanto monkfruit-sweetened maple flavored syrup. Both brands taste the same to me and go well with slightly tart strawbs. Add some whipped cream, if you want. These syrups are also excellent on pancakes.
Non-Keto recs:
Brian Lagerstrom isn't a GF chef, but he does great recipes with a chef's expertise that are aimed at home cooking, and some of them are easily made GF by using GF graham-type crackers/biscuits and GF flour. Like this cheesecake one, or his pumpkin (squash) pie. And his mango rice pudding is both utterly delicious and completely GF.
Another fave presenter is Adam Ragusea but he also isn't focusing on GF so you'd have to adapt the recipes with GF flour. His no-torch creme brulee is fully GF though, and fairly easy to make. His hot chocolate with honey marshmallows is also GF, as is his macaroons recipe (note that there's a lot of excited shouting as he challenges "perfect macaroon" notions). Also he has a good home-made ice cream recipe that is of course GF and only requires lots of ice and a hand mixer.
