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 ...

Sometimes a few leaves of greens just won't cut it, and we want something hearty, full of fats, and delicious to boot. There are days I find myself going overboard for a few hours, stalking ...

Keto Peanut Pancakes
March 2, 2015 by 3 Comments
With national pancake day just having passed, I got the craving to make something special for myself. All of the ads that I kept seeing on TV for pancakes are definitely to blame, but I wanted something a little bit different. Apam Balik came to mind, which is a very common style of peanut pancakes that is seen in Malaysia and Singapore. In Malaysia, we see these pancakes filled with creamed corn, sugar, butter, and a peanut filling. In Brunei, we see them filled with condensed milk, peanuts, ...
