Marie Antoinette had a good thought there ... at least for keto diets, in my opinion.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've had a keto almond/coconut flour cake stashed away in the fridge, eating a slice when I get hungry and just want to eat SOMEthing. Surprisingly, I've found having a two-layer keto CAKE available is good for breakfast, lunch, dessert at dinner.
The other nice thing about a keto cake as an instant keto snack food, is that it can be homemade, doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and a two-layer, 9" cake lasts quite a while even eating slices whenever.
The almond flour provides protein; the coconut flour provides fiber; a couple eggs are also in there, and from what I've been learning with keto cakes made with almond and coconut flour, they tend to be dry (at least, mine have tended so), so a ground-up vegetable amongst the ingredients, like carrots (carrot cake), zucchini, or pumpkin (canned) makes the cakes more moist and cakelike.
I modified a carrot cake recipe I'd found
online to use pumpkin and spices instead of carrots; it was "okay," but still kind of weird. So, today I'll try chocolate + zucchini.
Just thought I'd mention this "have a cake" idea, rather than trying to make wraps or mozzarella-dough, over the span of a week or so, a cake seems to be a less time-consuming, more ... (hunh) ...
sustainable option.
If you have room in your fridge, of course.
Oh yeah, frosting ... cream cheese seems the best keto choice. I was remembering a kind of frosting I used to make where you made a pudding with cooked flour + liquid, let it cool, then added confectioners' sugar and butter; it was really a delicious kind of frosting. Another thing I used to do, making frosting, was just to use half confectioners sugar, half dry
milk. So ... why not try making a pudding and then add cream cheese and stevia (extract)?
This guy mentions xanthan gum can make easy puddings, but important to use the right amount:

I tried making a thick pudding with xanthan gum. First in biggish bowl, whip up 2 8-oz cream cheeses and 4 oz. butter (slightly heated in microwave), then, in a separate bowl, make a xanthan gum pudding (1-1/2
tsp. xanthan gum, about 1 cup evap. milk), then pour pudding into mixture of cream cheese and butter ... add stevia extract ... whammo, explosion! it expanded. and was too thick. I added some cream. End result, odd textured frosting, very damp, as the guy in the link above mentions, texture kind of mucus-ey. (sigh). (one thing I've read about xanthan gum is, things made with it will thin out with SHEAR ... (there's a word but can't remember what it is for that); then when the SHEAR (as in whipping it) stops, it will thicken up. So it's tricky.
anyhoo. Today will try chocolate. Less xanthan gum for the frosting, or maybe try glucomannan (which I like for fiber, anyway).
anyway. The biggest point I'm trying to make is, if you can bake a keto cake you like, it's a quick and easy keto thing to eat and even pretty healthy, that lasts a reasonably long time.
