I’m so happy to share these with you guys! They turned out so much better than I expected! I always had the idea in the back of my mind to create a cheesecake of some sort with the crust and topping of a Nanaimo bar but never got around to it…that is, until I realized I had a bar of cream cheese I really needed to use up! I am SO GLAD I decided to finally go for it. These are delicious and look awesome when cut into small squares. The filling is slightly different than a standard cheesecake because we use a bit of heavy cream and xanthan gum to give it a Nanaimo bar custard-like texture.

These are honestly so tasty I had to stop myself at 3 pieces..as I’m sure I could have continued. Anyways, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!! Continue reading “Keto Nanaimo Cheesecake Squares” →

Well, here I am again with yet another pumpkin recipe…and yet another truffle recipe. I honestly love the ease of not having to bake dessert. No-bake is the WAY TO GO when you are as lazy as I am.

These little things are tasty, not difficult to put together and are a life-savour when it comes to drowning in Halloween treats full of carbs and sugar and other scary ingredients…(see what I did there? 😉 )

They are not overly sweet and are the perfect balance between soft and crunchy with the delicious cheesecake style filling and chocolate-coconut coating on the outside!

I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!  Continue reading “Keto No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles” →

White Chocolate-Coconut-Corfetti Protein Bar (Quest Style)

quest bar

If you like Quest Bars, White Chocolate, Coconut or Confetti-cake batter then this bar is for you. It’s one heavenly combination of flavours.

Made with my new favourite ingredient Vitafiber, a high fibre, calorie syrup substitute for sugar. You can also purchase the powdered form of Vitafiber, which is amazing for use as a flour or sugar substitute in baking specifically.

I’ll link to where you can purchase it if you are interested! 🙂

Vitafiber Imo Syrup 

Now onto the recipe…

Makes 1 large bar or 2 small: 14F/37C/18P & 23g fibre (for the entire recipe)

A little twist on my last post..here’s another version of this awesome breakfast cake. I’m not sure which one I like more now! This one is more filling though with the additional fibre! 8g in one cake.

Serves 1

Ingredients

-27g (3/4) scoop Molten Chocolate Cellucor (yes you could use a whole scoop, this just fits my macros!)

-1 tbsp(5g) unsweetened cocoa powder

-dash salt

-1/8 tsp baking powder

-2oz unsweetened apple sauce

-2 tbsp chocolate or vanilla unsweetened almond milk

-1/8 tsp vanilla extract

-3-6 drops coconut extract

-3 tbsp liquid egg whites (or 1 large egg white)

-1-2 tsp truvia sweetener to taste

-28g/1 oz. raw or frozen raspberries

-Pam

 

Topping:

Stir together…

-3 tbsp plain 0% greek yogurt

-1 cap full(or to taste) SF raspberry Torani syrup

-1/8 tsp vanilla extract

-1/4 tsp or more of truvia sweetener to taste (NOTE: The torani will help to sweeten everything as well)

-3-4 drops coconut extract(or to taste)

 

-Measure out 3g (about 1-2 tsp) of desiccated coconut

 

Directions for cake:

Spray a shallow ramekin with pam, combine your dry ingredients with a fork until no clumps are left. Stir in the wet ingredients until a smooth batter is formed (makes sure to get all the dry powder off the sides). Break the raspberries into smaller pieces and sprinkle all over the top of the batter(don’t push them in!). Place in the microwave for 2:00-2:30min depending on your microwave. Stop and check the cake while cooking. You want the outside to be cooked and the inside still goey. Once it looks done, take it out and top with your coconut raspberry sauce, sprinkle the desiccated coconut and add optional walden farms chocolate syrup if desired. Enjoy!

Macros including topping: 5F/15C/29P  & 8g Fibre
