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 “Maple” Cheesecake Mousse uses a spice called fenugreek that’s known for its caramel-y maple-like flavor in a rich treat that is basically a fat bomb in mousse form!
Maple syrup has always been and will always be one of my favorite sweeteners. The absolute only reason I try to limit it in my eating is because even though it’s a natural form of sugar, it still has the same effect on the body and I noticed I feel much better (in terms of steady energy) if I limit my sugar consumption. But that didn’t stop me from simulating its flavor….
Keto Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fat Bombs taste like regular cookie dough, but without the sugar crash and with the nutrient-rich addition of grass-fed healthy fats.
We all have one or two desserts that we just can’t pass up. Maybe it’s New York-style cheesecake, or a hot fudge sundae or carrot cake (we even sometimes try to convince ourselves that the last one is healthy, right? Because forget all the sugar, flour, and unhealthy fats, when dessert has a carrot in it, it must be healthy, lol). For me, that one dessert is cookie dough….
Low-Carb No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse 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!)….
Low-Carb Paleo Almond Butter Chocolate Bars is a delicious take on real-food candy with just 2 g net carbs per serving!
Now that we’re finally past the mid-way point of January, spring is basically right around the corner (at least that’s what I’m telling myself!). Admittedly, we still have quite a way to go, but at least one of the coldest months is mostly behind us….
This homemade Low-Carb Chocolate Peppermint Candy is a healthy take on one of my favorite wintertime treats: Peppermint Patties! Full of healthy, real-food ingredients, I think these are 100 times better…and each piece of candy has just 3.5 grams of net carbs! (These candies are basically what is known as a “fat bomb” in the low-carb high-fat/keto world!)
Aaaaand, just like that, it’s candy season once again. (Because apparently Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and Easter are just not enough, lol.) But Christmas candy is some of my favorite candy (hello, fudge, caramel pecan turtles, and candy canes! s), and I’m always up for the challenge of remaking treats with a healthy spin….
Low-Carb White Chocolate Butter Pecan Candies (aka Fat Bombs) are deep and rich-flavored, and show that cacao butter can be used for much more than just sugar-laden white chocolate candy bars.
To be completely honest, I’ve never been a fan of white chocolate. I was always of the mind that it isn’t really chocolate (which is isn’t, as there are no chocolate solids), but rather a cheap substitute that in no way is satisfying the way actual chocolate is.
White chocolate was always way too sweet for me and a little too bland, other than the flavor of straight-up sugar. Even as a kid, I’d prefer to have no dessert at all than resort to eating white chocolate. (Harsh, right?)…
5-Ingredient Low-Carb Mini Cheesecakes are a great choice when everyone else is eating regular cheesecake, but you’re trying to stay low-carb or keto! They’re creamy and rich-textured, with just 2 g carbs per serving.
People usually think cheesecake is a no-no when sticking to a healthy eating plan. Rich and indulgent, regular cheesecake is one of the most decadent tasting desserts, right?
Well, so is this cheesecake. The only thing it’s missing is carbs…and I promise, you won’t even miss them! (Who needs crust on cheesecake, anyway?)…
My Favorite Noatmeal (aka Low Carb Oatmeal, which is actually oat-free porridge) is a hearty warm breakfast that can be made on the stovetop or in the microwave for a healthy, quick breakfast that only has 2 g net carbs per serving.
Like many of us, I’m a creature of habit who craves routine. I get up, make coffee and a quick breakfast, and get to work early before breaking for my mid-morning workout. Routine keeps us centered, but the downside to this is that I’m prone to falling into eating ruts, particularly with breakfast….
Hello and welcome! I'm Faith and I believe you can have your cake and eat it too. For breakfast.
