Low Carb Samoa Cookie Truffles (aka Chocolate Covered Caramel Coconut Candy)

August 16, 2018 By faith Leave a Comment

Inspired by the deliciously addictive Girl Scout cookie, but with just 2.5g net carbs per truffle, these Low Carb Samoa Cookie Truffles (aka Chocolate Covered Caramel Coconut Candy) are the perfect trick to have up your sleeve when a craving hits.

Let’s face it, we all get chocolate cravings. One afternoon I couldn’t get Girl Scout cookies out of my head (Samoas are just a little bit evil like that, lol). I knew I could remake a keto-friendly version of Samoas, but I wanted something a bit different.

Because they’re a great keto tool to help reach your macros, I make a lot of different types of fat bombs. They’re always a good option when you want something that feels like an indulgence, but is actually rich in healthy fats. In addition to Girl Scout Cookies, keto fat bombs were another source of inspiration for these truffles….

Keto-Friendly Watergate Salad (aka Pistachio Cheesecake Mousse with Pineapple and Cherries)

June 21, 2018 By faith 1 Comment

Nutty, creamy and crazy-flavorful Keto-Friendly Watergate Salad (aka Pistachio Cheesecake Mousse with Pineapple and Cherries) will transport you right back to the summer potlucks of your youth!

Summer potluck foods are some of my most memorable childhood food memories. There was my mom’s famous baked beans, for starters. And her taco salad. And her creamy mayo-based dressing for topping tomatoes right out of the garden. And my grandma on my dad’s side made this sort-of pineapple slab pie with vanilla frosting that was topped with almonds and cherries, which sounds weird as heck, but was actually pretty fabulous (in an over-the-top sugar rush kind of way)….

Keto Homemade Almond Joy Candy Bars

These Keto Homemade Almond Joy Candy Bars are sure to satisfy your deepest cravings for a chocolate bar while staying in ketosis!

Growing up most of us had a favorite candy bar, something like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Heath, or Almond Joy. Well, keto friends, there’s absolutely no reason we can’t remake those classic favorites into keto-friendly versions that we can eat and enjoy, and even use as a means to get in high-quality fat to keep our macos on-point, fuel ourselves, and stay in ketosis! If you liked Almond Joy bars before going keto, you’ll LOVE these….

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….

Low-Carb Keto Vanilla-Almond Yellow Butter Cake

March 15, 2018 By faith 9 Comments

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

February 22, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

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….

Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fat Bombs

February 1, 2018 By faith 2 Comments

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

May 18, 2017 By faith 3 Comments

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

January 19, 2017 By faith 3 Comments

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….

Low-Carb Chocolate Peppermint Candy

December 22, 2016 By faith Leave a Comment

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….
