Keto Chocolate Caramel Meringue Cookies
The holidays are fast approaching and I couldn’t be more excited!
I LOVE to bake cookies during the holidays but I have been in South Africa the past few weeks so as soon as I got home from a LONG flight, I turned on my camera (do not judge how tired I look… one flight was 16 1/2 hours long!) and made a YouTube video making my recipe for all of you!
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CARAMEL MERINGUE COOKIES
To make these delicious bites of heaven, I used the NEW Chocolate Caramel LMNT!
I can’t believe how perfect using LMNT works for these cookies! You can use any flavor you want. Mix it up; try the raspberry salt LMNT if you do not like chocolate. Any flavor will work for these delicious meringues.

TIPS ON MAKING MERINGUE COOKIES
- Use Room Temperature Eggs
- Do not allow any water to touch the whites: make sure your bowl is dry, the spatula is dry and the hand mixer is dry.
- Do not spray the parchment with fat. Place the cookie batter on dry parchment. Spray will cause the cookies to fall.
- Use erythritol instead of allulose. Allulose will work BUT they are very sticky.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
Doesn’t Jess look AMAZING? I’m so proud of her 
“Anyone who has toyed with the idea of going full carnivore for their mental health…DO IT! As background, I have been severely depressed and anxious for quite literally my entire life, with diagnoses of bipolar and BPD coming and going because it was hard to pinpoint. Hospitalized twice for my mental health.
I’ve tried quite honestly just about every medication they make for mental health, and none of them actually made me feel THAT much better, and side effects (including permanent tremors) were pretty awful. I’ve been carnivore since mid August, and the change is honestly astounding. About a month in, I started to realize I was smiling for literally no reason? I was like ok that’s weird but not bad weird.
I started to notice my mood in general was more stable day by day. I just felt calm and happy, and a lot less stressed out. I’m going to be going off my antidepressants because I honestly don’t think I need them anymore and I’m tired of side effects. And not at all because my life stabilized in any way, I am a PhD student in a difficult family situation with relationship issues related to my mental health, a 14 year old with pathological demand avoidance, oh and I just moved from Texas to Alabama rather suddenly because of school. So yeah, there is literally no reason for me to be as happy and content as I am, but here we are. My physical health issues are improving!
With Ehlers danlos syndrome and POTS, I have to consume absurd amounts of electrolytes, so honestly that first month to 6 weeks of carnivore was brutal physically as my body adjusted, but the mental improvements were enough for me to push through it, and I’m starting to feel pretty amazing physically too, to the point where I am back into weightlifting after a long break because I just couldn’t. Not quite ready to get off the meds for POTS yet, but I think that will come with time.
Did I mention I’ve also lost 20 lbs? In 2 months?
I honestly feel incredible!
It’s such a tremendous shift in every possible way. Pics are from 2 months ago and about a week ago, I’ve actually lost even more since then.“ -Jess

What Can I use if I don’t have lmnt? Thank you
You could add any flavor extracts you want 🙂
I didn’t think I needed to purchase the chocolate caramel LMNT for until next winter, because I’m fully stocked in chocolate and chocolate mint along with the fruity flavors. Have you tried this recipe with any of the other flavors? Were they as good?
I bet the chocolate mint would be delicious. I used to buy a similar flavor in a store version years ago.
I made them with the chocolate mint LMNT. Wonderful flavor! I’m out of the caramel chocolate as well.
Tried this twice. Whipped to peaks and as soon as I added sweetener it went to liquid. Wasted a lot of $$ ingredients. Nothing was wet. No water. Any ideas?
Bummer! Meringue can be extremely temperamental so it’s important to work quickly but carefully. Make sure your kitchen is not too warm or humid–it will fall. Try adding the LMNT and sweetener together, and slowly spoon in the LMNT/sweetener mixture while the mixer is on low, a little at a time. Or try folding it in gently.
Sorry, but buying LMNT is just too much money. Do you have this recipe with just regular ingredients?
Will this work with Swerve?
Yes, but I do not recommend them anymore. They added starch and fiber to their mixes which is bad for your blood glucose, gut health and can also drive inflammation. Try this brand instead: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/lakanto/
Can egg white powder be used in place of fresh egg whites for this recipe?
You would have to make them into egg whites first by adding water. Not sure, I haven’t tried that.
Will powdered allulose work for these?
It will work, but they will be VERY sticky if you use allulose. For the best result I strongly recommend using erythritol for this recipe 🙂
