This recipe is surprisingly simple. Cookies can be difficult to make low-carb because the lack of sugar means it’s near impossible to get that chewy, caramelised texture. Here, we go for a different texture. Chewiness comes from shredded coconut bound by whipped egg whites. I just throw the whites into…
I’ve probably said it before, but isn’t there something spectacularly dreamy about pistachios? Picture it: a queen or king, reclining on a silk-lined throne, popping each jade morsel into their mouth while date-palm fronds fan them from either side . . . Putting aside my life goals, let’s get down…
My first post from England. I feel a little guilty for having been so absent these last few months, but I’ve been playing around with this recipe for a while and finally found a version I want to share. Coconut butter is virtually the same as creamed coconut – the…
Bliss balls are, well, blissful. But there are ways to make them heavenly. Start with a centre of silky peanut butter fudge. Wrap around a layer of chewy, nutty filling. Smother in chocolate. I don’t tend to sweeten my bliss balls very much, especially when making them low-carb. Just taste each…
This recipe is dedicated to Beks. I’ll miss your lovely way of cheering me up without fail! Homemade cashew butter? Please don’t think this is too much of a task, because – in all modest honesty – it’s pretty hard to fudge up 🙂 The amount of stevia you use is…
Zoe Lapwood, this recipe is for you! Thank you for your friendship, your hospitality, and your truly radical musical duo skills. You’re an inspiration! Why only coat truffles in coconut, when you can put that luxuriously tropo flavour inside? These little devils have no need for regular cream and no need…
I suppose these would be more authentically “lamington” if they weren’t chocolate all the way through. Or, you know, if they were actually made from cake! In saying that, the coconut flour does help create that cakey texture. These little mouthfuls of bliss are the perfect treat for a low-carber.…
This slice is inspired by one sold at the cafe where I work. Although that one is, admittedly, simply scrumptious, I needed to make a low-carb version to share with my family. A date-free version was thus born! You can add extra stevia to the topping (or even the base).…
I warn you – this granola is dangerous. Crunchy bites of coconut and mixed nuts, toasted and melded together with a buttery caramel. Oh yeah. This recipe can be gluten-free, grain-free, and egg-free. Makes just over 1 cup Preparation time: 2 minutes (plus chilling) Cooking time: 10 minutes Ingredients: –…
It’s funny how something so creamy can be dairy-free – but don’t laugh. I’m serious here. A dangerously delicious, coconut-scented winter warmer can be between your mitts in under five minutes. Any liquid coconut cream should work fine, providing you adequately fill your blender. I’ve stipulated half a cup of…
