Chocolate Rum Balls (Small Batch; Gluten Free)

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….

These Small Batch Low Carb Chewy Molasses Ginger Cookies are warmly spiced with rich notes of caramel.

Have you had Molasses Crinkles? They’re warm-spiced dark brown cookies with rich notes of caramel, thanks to the use of molasses. Growing up, my mom made them in the fall, and they always seem so festive to me! These Chewy Molasses Cookies are a low carb version of Molasses Crinkles. They’re perfect for a festive holiday cookie tray, or lovely anytime you want to do some autumnal baking.

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….

Low-Carb Keto Coconut Cream Custard

March 29, 2018 By faith 2 Comments

Low-Carb Keto Coconut Cream Custard is lusciously rich with deep coconut flavor.

Being a food blogger, friends and family frequently gift me with random food items (I’ve had neighbors drop off crates of fresh carrots and friends bring back spices from their travels around the world), share their crazy food ideas (like chocolate-covered mashed potato truffles) and requests (a friend tried to commission me to make an ice cream that doesn’t melt, lol), and share with me their beautiful props….

Richly aromatic with butter, vanilla, and almond, this Low-Carb Keto Vanilla-Almond Yellow Butter Cake has great flavor and texture, and just 4 g net carbs per serving!

I honestly didn’t think it would be possible to come up with a low-carb sugar-free cake with both great texture and flavor that rivals regular cake. Such a thing sounds like a white unicorn, mythological, the stuff legends are made of, but don’t really exist in real life….

Low Carb No Bake Cheesecake Mousse with Fresh Strawberry Sauce

May 18, 2017 By faith 5 Comments

Low Carb No Bake Cheesecake Mousse with Fresh Strawberry Sauce has just 5g net carbs per serving (net carbs = total carbs – fiber), which is much less than a traditional cheesecake, but it’s every bit as satisfying! To reduce the carbs even more, make half a batch of the strawberry sauce.

It doesn’t happen all that often, but I love when I have a dessert epiphany and come up with a single recipe that lends itself so well to tons of different – yet all equally delicious – variations of itself. Like the perfect brownie base that you can add whatever you want to, addictive little dried fruit and nut bites that you can switch up to suit your fancy, or a really great all-purpose cookie dough (I’m still working on developing my favorite healthy all-purpose cookie dough!)….
