Good job, Dave! 😃👍 Have a blessed week 💜🙏✌️🎶🌞🪻🎃
Yummy! 😋😋😋
Oh man you are so part of my first cup of tea, you brighten our day thanks Dave
Cooking with Keto ingredients is a difficult thing to do, I still have trouble ………. and I’ve been doing it for 12 years 🤪🤣 Hi from Melbourne, Australia 👋🏻👋🏻
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥🎂♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Another great recipe and video, Dave! Thanks! 😋
I sended you an email check it out!
You’re a man of the people Dave! lol
Thank you!!! I think you're great!!!
if you make again, put ramikan in first then your hot water. if you do it the other way, you might run it over, and wouldnt be good. the steam is what cooks the top.
Dave, you read out the instructions and then verbally stated just the opposite of the bane Marie. The instructions: Place ramikans in the baking dish, then pour the water in and around the ramekins. After reading that, you then stated to put water in a baking dish and then put in the ramekins. This is why you have a problem you’re not comprehending, and then you need to comprehend in the right order. You put the ramekins in the baking dish then you pour the water in the baking dish until the water is almost halfway up each dish you don’t put the water in the dish and then the ramekins. Number one Ramikins in the dish number two water in the dish.
Somebody buy this man some spatulas!😂😂😂 That fork scraping is like nails on a chalkboard to me!😂😂😂
Just out of curiosity, why only Keto recipes?
Dave, where do you get your aprons?
Put some keto vanilla ice cream on top and voila,, lava cake
You sound like someone who used to be on TV. Can't remember. though
Dave you’re the best! Don’t ever lose your authenticity and humor. Will definitely try this recipe. 👍

Why do you always use googles images to sell your channel and not the actual food you make. You are profiting by drawing viewers in using deceptive practices by making it appear the recipe you’re selling your viewers turns out perfect when in fact that’s not usually the case. Just post a picture of the food YOU prepared and not a perfect restaurant depiction of a similar dish. That’s Fraudulent!
Definitely, I love your mess and your realness about your cooking and your positive and loving husband and dad vibe.
And as ADHD'er your chatty video's make sure I'm never bored ❤
Damn dude… take a step away from the trough
I realize everyone it different and I feel the recipes have value but I am a sound person and I will immediately turn off the video if you use a fork to mix. The sound is like nails on a chalkboard. I do start most of the videos if that helps.
Just eat it right out of the dishes your day today! Yum Yum Yum
My hero! Imperfection combined with mysterious, healthy ingredients. That’s my kind of cooking. Thanks for your great recipes and reminding me taste matters more than presentation! I’m going to try this one for sure. What’s better than Keto lava cake to satisfy chocolate cravings!
The fork when mixing was like nails on a chalkboard.
good information
Absolutely like me, scraping out the blended cottage cheese with a fork! 🤣 Butter because I can’t find the spray! 🤣
You are perfect! Love your videos and personality!
