Keto Cheesecake Stuffed Brownies

Keto Cheesecake Stuffed Brownies

October 18, 2018 by Leave a Comment

When I was growing up my favorite dessert was my moms’ zebra brownies. They were always from a box, and it was a treat because it was like two desserts in one: brownie base stuffed with creamy cheesecake filling! I can’t believe it took me this long to make this decadent treat because once I did, I realized it’s so simple. This recipe is a spin-off from my favorite keto flourless brownie recipe with a few adjustments. Because the cheesecake filling offers a bit more moisture and weight, ...

Pecan Softies with Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate

Pecan Softies with Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate

October 16, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Pecan sandies were my favorite cookies as a kid but ask I’ve gotten older I prefer a softer bake. That’s why these pecan softies are the perfect blend of nutty pecan flavor with the goodness of a soft baked cookie! With hints of salt and hunks of roasted pecans, this cookie tastes like anything but keto! By making the cookie base in a food processor, you can get a rough chop which leads to a lower calorie yield per cookie, plus its easy cleanup and comes together in minutes! It calls for ...

Almond Roll with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Filling

Almond Roll with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Filling

September 13, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Low carb and gluten free, this almond roll with pumpkin cream cheese filling is a spin everyone’s fall favorite - pumpkin spice! The cake is modeled after joconde, a foam-based sponge made with almond flour and whole eggs. To make the cake lighter, this recipe calls for just the egg whites. Note that because of the absence of gluten, the cake will be prone to cracking when rolling --- patience and a bit of filling shmeared on the outside will cover up any imperfections! The pumpkin cream ...

Caramel Creme Brulee

Caramel Creme Brulee

August 16, 2018 by Leave a Comment

The other day I was planning on making a delicious ‘creme caramel’ but also wanted to try and make creme brulee. You may wonder what the difference is. Creme caramel is a custard with a caramel sauce. The custard is made with whole eggs, allowing it to be firm enough to stand on its own. Creme brulee is a custard made with egg yolks. While it’s thick, you’d have to leave it inside a ramekin. So I figured I’d make a mix of the two. A creme brulee with a caramel bottom. It’s fairly easy and ...

Keto Raspberry Ice Cream

Keto Raspberry Ice Cream

July 10, 2018 by 2 Comments

Who doesn’t love ice cream? True, there are a number of keto friendly frozen treats that are now available at the grocery store, but this recipe is too simple and too delicious to pass up. In lieu of sugar, I used allulose. I like it because it has zero GI and zero aftertaste. You may also use erythritol. If you want it sweeter, I suggest adding about 8-10 drops of liquid stevia. I didn’t find it necessary, to be honest. Fromage blanc is the French yogurt - it is a type of soft cheese ...

Toffee Nut Cake Donuts

Toffee Nut Cake Donuts

June 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment

I have been seeing beautiful donut creations all over Instagram lately and it’s been inspiring me to make some ornate donuts that are keto friendly! I am a firm believer that food should look as good as it tastes.  I’ve been on a toffee nut kick so I decided to make a simple vanilla cake donut.  Then I decorated it with sweet and salty toffee nuts, and a healthy dose of low-carb dark chocolate coating. I added a touch of coconut because it’s pretty and it tastes good. It’s a win-win! But the ...

Keto Flan

Keto Flan

Custard is a new favorite of mine, and I can’t believe how EASY it is to make! There are different ways to make it too. Adding whole eggs to a custard base will make it hold its form… If you just use egg yolks, it will have the consistency of pudding, which is excellent for a creme brulee. Today, I will be making a flan, a popular Mexican dessert, which will have a firm and robust custard that will hold its shape outside a ramekin. We will also be creating a caramel sauce with it that ...

Keto Sansrival

Keto Sansrival

May 10, 2018 by 5 Comments

Sansrival is a Filipino classic - crispy, chewy, meringue layered with French buttercream and cashew nuts. Translates to, “without rival.” Aptly so, as this is hands down a crowd favorite. The original recipe calls for a dacquoise, a meringue made with nuts that when cooked long and slow yields a crispy wafer. The keto version, however, will not have the same texture. Instead it’s more sponge-y. Sugar’s hygroscopic, or moisture absorbing, nature lends to the crunch that sweeteners ...

This strawberry rhubarb swirl ice cream is the perfect way to cool off this summer! Luxurious strawberry rhubarb sauce is swirled into creamy vanilla ice cream to create this crowd-pleasing dessert. If you make this ice cream, be prepared for it to disappear quickly—it always does in my house! Rhubarb’s distinct flavor paired with strawberries is a long-standing combination. There’s a reason this combination is so popular - it’s delicious! The sweetness of strawberries perfectly ...

Speculoos and Macadamia Biscotti

Speculoos and Macadamia Biscotti

March 8, 2018 by Leave a Comment

I particularly love the fragrant smell of spices. It reminds me of Christmas! A family favorite is speculoos, a Belgian crispy spiced cookie that is addictively good. Heard of cookie butter? Biscoff? That’s speculoos. Twice baked, dry, crunchy biscotti plus the healthy goodness of macadamia nuts. You will never be wanting - a special treat to have (and dunked) in your ketoproof coffee. Yields 10 servings of Speculoos and Macadamia Biscotti. The Preparation 200 grams superfine ...
