Fruity Curried Mayo Sauce or Dip | Low-Carb, So Simple
“Insanely delicious!” declared a friend of mine, when I gave her a sample of this sauce. “This is reeeeeally good!” my husband exclaimed when he tasted this sauce for the first time. They’re not the only ones. I fell head over heels in love with this incredible condiment myself once I’d perfected the recipe. And I’m sure you too, dear reader, will be crazy about this superb sauce!

Is it even possible to achieve sweetness and fruitiness in a sauce without adding sugar? Yes, it is! This healthy, full-bodied sauce or dip is sweet with a slight tang and a hint of curry flavor. It’s my favorite dip with chicken wings, but you can also use it with just about any kind of meat, fish, and veggies.

Flourless Sugar-Free Nut Butter and Jam Thumbprint Cookies | Low-Carb, So Simple

You’re probably already familiar with peanut butter and jam thumbprint cookies (especially if you have kids!). And I’m sure there are some low-carb versions of them out there. But this recipe takes the classic treat a step further by using a nut butter—like almond butter—to make delicious cookies that won’t spike your blood sugar. As usual, these are sugar-free, and using nut butter ensures that the carb count is drastically lower than it would be if you were using peanut butter.

The Very Best Sugar-Free Vanilla Frosting | Low-Carb, So Simple
By now, you probably know that I’m all about the buttery frostings. That’s why I’ve posted so many recipes for them (like this butter frosting with an orangey variation, a marshmallow fluff frosting, this one with toasted pecans; and many more).

But sometimes I want to top my low-carb cakes and cupcakes with a frosting that’s slightly less buttery, but still rich and delicious. So I developed this super-velvety vanilla-flavored sugar-free frosting. It’s a tad lighter than regular buttercream frosting but still outstandingly rich. And it’s perfect for piping; just wait till you see these photos (and I’m not even a professional confectioner, I swear!)

Chocolate Mud Cake in a Mug | Low-Carb, So Simple
Have you noticed that most low-carb recipes are designed for a whole family? With enormous batches, and boldly boasting that “the whole family will like this!”? But why doesn’t anybody think of single people? It’s very seldom that a whole family follows a low-carb or ketogenic diet. And if you want a snack, you won’t want to bake a whole batch of something, anyway. You want a single serving of something quick. Sound familiar? If so, then, this Chocolate Mud Cake in a Mug is a life-saver!

Originally, I posted this recipe on my Facebook page in September 2015. However, as it used to be a staple in our house — and got big love on the Facebook page when I posted it — I thought it deserved a whole blog post of its own. This is one of the simplest, chocolatiest and most delicious recipes I’ve ever seen for a low-carb chocolate mug cake. I bet you’ll agree!

2-Ingredient Champagne White Chocolate Fondue | Low-Carb, So Simple

I was so close to not posting this recipe because I was actually ashamed (and I still am!) of how simple it is. Even though its name sounds luxurious, it has just two ingredients (and I bet you can already guess what they are!). But it’s still pretty ingenious, if I do say so myself—or, at least, really simple and delicious, so I decided to share it with you.

Perfect for the holidays as well as for the New Year, this fondue recipe will be the hit of any adult party, and your guests will rave about it for months to come. And they’ll be shocked when you tell them it calls for a mere two ingredients!
