Before I get to the nitty gritty of how mind-blowingly tasty these are, let’s talk about trying to make toffee out of fake sugar. Basically, it’s not easy. It’s not that the task is difficult, toffee is two ingredients and you can make it in the microwave, but it does take your complete attention and diligence. Toffee making waits for no one and it can burn in an instant! So here are the basics: make sure you stir often, watch for a light caramel color to develop, remove when the mix is ...

This dessert is an airy treat. Sweet meringue cookies melt in your mouth, with a touch of almond flavor and almost no carbs per cookie. You can quickly whip up a batch of these when you are in the mood for something sweet, but don't want to use up too much of your daily macros. I put in the instructions to bake for 40 minutes, but it really depends on the size of your cookies and how hot your oven runs. You'll know that they are done when you can easily peel the cookies from the parchment ...

January 30, 2018 by 4 Comments
This Instant Pot matcha cheesecake is for those of you who want to eat cheesecake, but don't want to fuss with the process of making it. It's best if you make this the day ahead, but I'm not going to lie - I've eaten this warm, almost directly out of the pressure cooker and it was still great. This cheesecake is dense but creamy, packed with grassy matcha flavor but lightened up with sweetened sour cream and a drizzle of maple flavored syrup. I know the syrup sounds weird, but you have to ...

Keto Coconut Cream Pies
September 16, 2017 by 1 Comment
I usually never have a sweet tooth, but today it was out in full force. I was craving coconut cream pie… badly! I didn’t want to make a whole pie, so I figured making individual sizes in ramekins would be best and they turned out amazing. The hardest part about this recipe was the custard. I tried making a slurry (thickener) using coconut flour instead of using xanthan gum. I figured not only would the flour thicken the custard, but it would also give it a bit more of a coconut ...
