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…
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…
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…
Who likes the occasional sweet treat first thing in the morning? Guilty. Who enjoys chocolate before midday? Guilty. Who eats frosting for a healthy and balanced breakfast? Definitely guilty. I’m starting low-carb living again, a sort of ‘New Years resolution’ that won’t endure the entire year. That means fat, fat,…
True, not everyone is a green fiend like myself when it comes to sweet treats. If you happen to be one of the blessed ones who is an avocado lover, please consider making this for a special breakfast! This fibre-filled glass is layered with a moussy avocado smoothie, full-fat yoghurt, protein-loaded…
The other day there was an awards evening at my school. I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of delicious dessert – a gorgeous looking tiramisu! While I sadly pretended not to look at the bowls of pudding around me, I plotted a version of my own. This tiramisu is the…
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…
Last night was experimenting time. I love mixing cocoa powder and peanut butter into yoghurt as an easy breakfast or dessert – and I wondered, what would happen if I baked it? The result was fabulous. I added coconut flour and psyllium to bind the mixture, as well as to…
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.…
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.…
