Keto lemon cheesecake bars

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups almond flour
1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter melted
Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener (more if you like it sweeter)
2 tsp lemon zest (about 1 large lemon)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 large eggs

Steps

Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Press evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch square pan and bake 10 minutes - it won't be cooked through. Set aside and let cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 275F.
Lemon Cheesecake Filling:
Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the sweetener, and then beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and cream until no lumps remain.
Beat in the eggs until just combined - do not overbeat as this can cause cracking.
Spread the filling over cooled crust and bake 35 to 45 minutes, or until filling is just set and the center barely jiggles when shaken.
Let cool 30 minutes, then chill for at least 2 hours.
Garnish with powdered sweetener and additional lemon zest, if desired.

Keto Twix cookies

Ingredients

Shortbread Cookies:
2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup vanilla Carmel sugar free syrup 
1/2 tsp salt
 
Caramel Filling:
Half a recipe of Low Carb Caramel Sauce feel free to make a whole recipe and save the rest for another use! It's delicious over ice cream

Chocolate Drizzle:
1 1/2 ounces Lily's Sugar-Free Milk Chocolate can use dark if you prefer
 

Steps

Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder.
In a large bowl, beat butter with sweetener until well combined and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla Carmel SF syrup. Beat in almond flour mixture until well incorporated.
Form dough into scant 1 inch balls and place two inches apart on prepared baking sheet. You will get 24 to 28 cookies. Press each ball down to about 1/2 inch high. Using your thumb, press an indentation into the center of each cookie.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until just barely browning around the edges (They will still be very soft but will continue to firm up as they cool). Gently reform center well with your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon while cookies are still warm. Let cool completely.
Once cool, make caramel sauce. Let cool a few minutes so that it's not too liquidy, then spoon into the well of each cookie until full. Let set a few minutes.
For the chocolate drizzle, place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
Spoon chocolate into a small ziploc bag and snip off the very tip of one corner. Drizzle over cookies and let set 20 minutes.

Author: Liz Jocson 

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
6 tablespoons Allulose Sweetener
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp gelatin 
1/4 tsp kosher or sea salt
2 tbsp water
For Salted Caramel Sauce:
1/2 tsp additional kosher salt or sea salt

Steps

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and allulose sweetener. Bring to a boil and cook 3 to 5 minutes (be careful not to burn it).
Remove from heat and add cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously.
Sprinkle with gelatin and whisk vigorously to combine. Add salt.
Return mixture to heat and boil 1 more minute.
Let cool to lukewarm
For salted caramel, simply stir in additional salt at the end.
The sauce can be stored in the fridge for a week or so (I've actually stored mine for several weeks). Just gently reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan to make it pourable again.

1 1/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup real lemon juice
1/4cup allulose sweetener
1/4 cup erythritol base sweetener (swerve, lakanto monk fruit)
1/2 teaspoon pure Stevia
3 tablespoons sugar free vanilla syrup
3 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Lemon extract
3 drops yellow coloring (optional)

Steps

Combine all ingredients
Mix well ( I use a blender)

I use allulose and erythritol base sweetener for the perfect scoop able ice cream. Because of the lemon juice using all allulose sweetener keeps the ice cream very soft.

Keto Fish Sticks

Ingredients

1 lb white fish such as cod
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp water
1 1/2 cups pork rind panko such as Pork King Good
3/4 tsp cajun seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

Spray the air fryer rack with non-stick cooking spray (I use avocado oil spray).
Pat the fish dry and cut into sticks about 1 inch by 2 inches wide (how you are able to cut it will depend a little on what kind of fish you by and how thick and wide it is).
In a small shallow bowl, whisk together the mayo, mustard, and water. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the pork rinds and Cajun seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste (both the pork rinds and seasoning could have a fair bit of salt so dip a finger in to taste how salty it is).
Working with one piece of fish at a time, dip into the mayo mixture to coat and then tap off the excess. Dip into the pork rind mixture and toss to coat. Place on the air fryer rack.
Set to Air Fry at 400F and bake 5 minutes, the flip the fish sticks with tongs and bake another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Low carb creamy triple chocolate ice cream

Author: Liz Jocson

Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
6 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon pure Stevia
4 oz sugar free milk chocolate chips
2/3 cup skinny chocolate syrup
1/3 cup skinny chocolate Carmel truffle
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps

In a heavy saucepan over low heat, heat the heavy cream, stirring with a whisk.
Add the chocolate and continue stirring until the chocolate has melted.
Add the egg yolks. Continue whisking on low heat until just warmed.
Add the powdered sweetener whisk until completely dissolved.
Continue heating, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens, about 10 minutes.
When the custard coats the back of a wooden spoon or reaches 140°F (60°C) on a candy thermometer, remove the pan from the heat. Do not allow the mixture to warm to over 140°F or the eggs will begin to cook.
Stir in the skinny syrups and salt.
Place in the refrigerator to cool overnight
When cool, churn the ice cream mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s directions until it reaches your desired consistency.
