Low-carb Deconstructed Tiramisu

I have a never-ending love for tiramisu. It’s just so decadent - yet somehow light enough to merit seconds. Smoky with coffee, enriched with chocolate, and über creamy, this stuff is la caramba! I’m not sure of the exact carbohydrate count, but this definitely makes ketogenics fun. I’ve said it…

Cinnamon and Cacao Cream

Looking for a quick, low-carb dessert with creaminess and crunch? Now you’re looking at one. I didn’t sweeten mine, but feel free to add stevia, dextrose, or rice malt syrup. I made mine in the half-filled cream bottle, shaking until it was whipped, but you can be nicely sophisticated and…

Cookie Crumble Dough

I have been making this a lot - perhaps too often - for a low-carb treat. Chocolatey and utterly heavenly! I use stevia powder (inulin is the filler ingredient, a soluble fibre) when ketogenic, and dextrose when eating simply low-fructose. Mint essence gives a delicious kick, but you can replace it with…

This fibre-filled glass is layered with a moussy avocado smoothie, full-fat yoghurt, protein-loaded…

Overnight Rice Pudding

Got any leftover rice? I hate the brittle grains that inevitably end up behind fresh produce, sadly forgotten for days. This creamy, sweet pudding is a delicious way to clear some space in the fridge . . . if that’s how you want to justify it! Making this the night…

Tiramisu Pudding

I never really did enjoy the soggy ladyfinger part of tiramisu. After reading about some bloggers who had the same issue, I decided I’d cut out the middle man. Move out carby sponges. Hello creamy, smooth, dreamy pudding! This isn’t real tiramisu, considering it contains neither marscapone nor cream cheese.…

Chocolate Ice-ing cream

A cross between icing and ice cream, this stuff is dangerously delicious and addictive. I’ve warned you! The only other problem with this stuff is that it is so easy to make. If you don’t want the frozen texture, eat it straight after whipping - it’s like pure, frosting bliss.…
