August 10, 2012 By elviira 6 Comments

The weather is still warm and beautiful, so I have a good reason to publish another ice cream recipe. This rich and flavorful chilly treat is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet cravings without any insulin rush. The luscious combination of chocolate and cherry is familiar from the Black Forest cake. This time as ice cream, vegan and low-carb. What else can you ask for?

Melon and Raspberry Salad with Vanilla Coconut Sauce (Dairy-Free, Vegan)

August 4, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

It’s hard to believe that something this delicious is so simple, and vegan! I usually use tons of organic dairy products, especially heavy cream, but lately I’ve been into coconut milk because of its smooth and naturally sweet flavor.

This succulent dessert — or breakfast — is topped with delicious coconut milk sauce with a hint of vanilla. The sauce consists of a mere two ingredients! Even better, this simple fruit salad is surprisingly low in carbs.

Chocolate Mini Muffins

I bake over and over again these gluten-free, sugar-free low-carb chocolate mini muffins. Usually baked goods made with coconut flour get rock hard when stored, but these muffins stay soft and moist even for few days in a room temperature. I made a lot of experiments until I was satisfied, and now I’m happy to share my best results with you. Here you are, hope you like this recipe as much as I and my family do!

Quick Mocha Pudding

June 13, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

Last week I was fancying rich and creamy pudding. Vanilla pudding would have been too — well, vanilla. Chocolate pudding could have been a nice option, but I wanted something a bit more full-flavored so I ended up with mocha pudding. You can easily modify this versatile delicacy to plain vanilla or something more interesting. I’ll give some ideas in the end of this post.

Simple and Easy Low-Carb Lemon Curd

May 31, 2012 By elviira 24 Comments

I had never made lemon curd before since I’m not that big fan of lemon flavor. The idea of simple low-carb lemon curd was however so tempting, that I wanted to try and develop it. Many lemon curd recipes are quite complicated. Separating eggs, grating some lemon zest, melting the butter, using a double boiler, … I wanted something simple and easy. I think I reached my goal, at least I immediately fell in love with this low-carb lemon curd and I wasn’t even a fan of lemon flavor before! I hope you like it as well.

Simple Sugar-Free Strawberry Ice Cream (Egg-Free)

May 27, 2012 By elviira Leave a Comment

This easy to make, refreshing sugar-free strawberry ice cream was developed in a chilling winter day — not what you would immediately expect for a cooling delicacy like this. However, I had some frozen strawberries from last summer and wanted to use them. I also had some coconut milk and got an idea to add thick Greek yogurt for giving a bit more refreshing touch and to thicken the consistency.

Instant Raspberry Ice Cream (Egg-Free)

May 23, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

I was about to write a lengthy post about simple strawberry ice cream but finally wanted to publish something even simpler. This ice cream is so ridiculously simple yet delicious that most probably many people in the world have already invented it — or at least something very similar. You need just three ingredients: frozen raspberries, ricotta and vanilla stevia.

Buttery Vanilla Cream Cheese Icing

May 10, 2012 By elviira 4 Comments

This smooth and velvety, creamy and buttery low-carb icing is perfect for cakes and cupcakes. It’s something between buttercream and cream cheese icing. Not a compromise, but a sweet marriage of cream cheese and butter. I developed this icing especially for my Fluffy Little Lemon Thingies. Just quickly spread it or pipe beautiful decorations — it suits perfectly both.
