My first tray of these looked like mud. Twenty-four brown lumps, chocolate pooled around every base, and not one of them with the clean pale eye on top that makes a buckeye a buckeye. Two things were wrong, and neither was the recipe. The filling was too soft, and I was using a spoon. These…
The test is the spoon. Stand one in the middle of a real Frosty and it does not fall over, but it is not solid either. Somewhere between a milkshake and soft serve, and that is the whole appeal. You cannot get there by blending cream with ice, which is what I tried first. Ice…
The first cloud cake I baked rose over the rim of the pan like a soufflé, and I was very pleased with myself. Then I took it out of the oven and set it on the counter. By the time I had found a plate, it had sunk into a damp, eggy disc about half…
The first sugar-free hot chocolate I made from scratch was two spoonfuls of cocoa, one of sweetener, and a mug of hot almond milk. It looked right. It tasted like warm brown water with a bitter edge, and a raft of dry cocoa floated on top no matter how hard I stirred. This keto hot…
My first tray of sugar-free cut-out cookies went into the oven as neat little stars and came out as round, puffy blobs with a vague memory of five points. The icing I made for them was worse. Three days later it was still tacky enough to glue two cookies together. These keto sugar cookies fix…
Most no-bake lemon cheesecakes share the same problem, and almost nobody warns you about it. You add enough lemon juice to actually taste like lemon, and then the filling never firms up. You cut the first slice and it slumps sideways onto the plate. I made that cheesecake more than once before working out what…
Sugar-free keto pecan pie with a gooey allulose caramel filling that stays soft straight from the fridge instead of crystallizing into grit. 3.9g net carbs per slice.
Made with real apple, not zucchini and apple extract. Crisp coconut flour fritters with a vanilla cream glaze at 1.7g net carbs each.
Creamy pumpkin cheesecake on a buttery almond crust with a cinnamon sugar top. No water bath, no cracks, and 2.4g net carbs per bar.
Banana extract, not banana, is what carries this pudding. Three quarters of a teaspoon of it does the whole job, which is how a dessert that tastes like the real thing lands at 2.8 grams of net carbs. Today, we are tackling a beloved favorite. We are making a rich, luscious keto banana pudding. It…
Picture this. It is a chilly evening outside. You are wrapped in your favorite blanket. You want something warm and sweet. But you do not want the heavy sugar crash that comes after. I get it. There is nothing quite like a warm bowl of dessert to end the day. This sugar-free apple crumble hits…
Ever craved a fluffy marshmallow, but dreaded the terrible sugar crash? I definitely have. Marshmallows are sugar, water and gelatin whipped into a foam, which means the sugar is doing structural work rather than just tasting sweet. Take it out and the whole thing falls flat in the bowl. That is the actual problem this…
I love baking when the weather gets crisp. A classic pumpkin pie is always the star of my holiday table. But let’s be honest. Traditional recipes can feel a bit heavy. I wanted a dessert that tasted indulgent without all that extra weight. This healthy pumpkin pie hits the spot. It balances rich, cozy flavors…
Baking a healthy apple pie at home feels incredibly rewarding. The smell of cinnamon and baked apples fills your whole house. Your friends and family will gather in the kitchen. They will be waiting for a warm, delicious slice. I love sharing this recipe. It skips heavy refined flours but keeps all the flavor. We…
Fifteen minutes, no oven, and nothing left to set. This is cheesecake taken apart and folded back together as something you serve in a bowl with a spoon. Because let’s be honest. Sticking to a low-carb diet is hard. I remember when I first started watching my carbs. I did great during the day. But…
