Low Carb Caramel Sauce

January 17, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

This Low Carb Caramel Sauce has just 1g net carbs per serving and takes less than 15 minutes to make; you’ll want to drizzle it on everything!

Imagine sitting down to a decadent caramel brownie sundae. There’s a fudgy, rich chocolate brownie as the base. The brownie is topped with a generous scoop of velvety ice cream flecked with vanilla beans. Cascading down the ice cream is none other than this luscious Low Carb Caramel Sauce. A beautiful dollop of freshly whipped cream adorns the top. THIS IS KETO.

I’m not saying that keto is all about indulgences, because it’s not. It’s about quality fats, low carb produce, organic grass-fed meat and dairy. But sometimes a girl just wants to have her caramel brownie sundae and eat it too. And stay in ketosis….

December 20, 2018 By faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Rum Balls (Small Batch; Gluten Free) are the perfect sweet treat to bring to your next holiday party! Or keep them stashed in your fridge throughout the holiday season for those times when a craving strikes and you want something that’s decadent without being too indulgent; these have just 2g net carbs per truffle!

Chocolate Rum Balls are a Christmas party classic. I remember going to endless holiday gatherings as a kid and they all had these little boozy-smelling chocolate bites. At first bite you might think it’s an odd flavor pairing, but rum actually brings out the flavor nuances in chocolate. These candies taste like a cross between brownie bites and fudge, in the shape of truffles. They get even better the day after making them, as the different flavors have the chance to blend….

They’re perfect for a festive holiday cookie tray, or lovely anytime you want to do some autumnal baking. The best part is that this recipe makes just eight cookies so you won’t be stuck with a ton of leftover cookies; or you can easily double or triple the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd….

Rosemary Vanilla Cranberry Sauce (Low Carb Cranberry Sauce)

November 19, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

Rosemary Vanilla Cranberry Sauce (Low Carb Cranberry Sauce) is sweet and tart with subtle notes of aromatic vanilla and piney rosemary.

I have a confession; I don’t really like cranberry sauce along with my turkey on Thanksgiving (I know, that’s crazy, right?). But I LOVE cranberry sauce. For me, its uses go well beyond an accoutrement for turkey on Thanksgiving dinner; it’s the perfect thing to keep stashed in your fridge for the holiday season!…

5 Minute Low Carb Hot Chocolate Recipe

November 15, 2018 By faith 2 Comments

This 5 Minute Low Carb Hot Chocolate Recipe is creamy, rich, and deeply chocolaty with complex flavor notes of vanilla and coffee.

As a kid, one of the things I looked forward to most about winter – in addition to snow days – was hot chocolate! There was something incredibly magical about spending the better part of the day sledding, coming inside only to thaw out our red cheeks and frozen fingers and drink cocoa, and then heading back out to brave the cold again.…

Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free Granola is perfect for stocking your pantry with the entire fall season.

If you’re looking for autumnal flair, nothing does it better than pumpkin spice. And if you want pumpkin spice in something other than a latte, give this granola a try! This Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Gluten Free Granola has rich pumpkin spice flavor and great crunch. I used flaked coconut not for its coconutty flavor (which is covered up surprisingly well by pumpkin pie spice mix), but because it looks similar to oats, which makes it feel like you’re sitting down to a bowl of regular granola.…

October 11, 2018 By faith 2 Comments

Low Carb Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Keto Cheesecake Buttercream are a low carb remake of a classic childhood favorite.

One of the things I love about a ketogenic way of eating is that it’s fairly easy to remake just about any recipe into a keto version of itself. Childhood favorites and classic comfort foods are some of my favorite recipes to play with….

Vanilla Bean Low Carb Cheesecake Frosting

October 4, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

Vanilla Bean Low Carb Cheesecake Frosting is decadent and rich, with luscious cheesecake texture and just the right sweetness level, balanced with a slight tang from cream cheese.

There are so many fabulous things about a fluffy cream cheese-based frosting. Whipping cream cheese results in a light and ethereally fluffy texture that’s similar to mousse. In addition to luscious texture, this low carb cheesecake frosting has great cheesecake flavor with a perfect sweetness level. Using cream cheese in addition to butter adds bulk and stability to the frosting without the need for a ton of powdered erythritol (or powdered sugar). A thick layer of this frosting turns just about anything into a completely decadent treat….
