Irresistibly Easy No-Sugar “Nutella” Fudge (Vegan)

March 28, 2017 By elviira 8 Comments

Well, hello, all Nutella lovers! That hazelnutty, chocolatey and sublimely silky spread has millions of fans all over the world. Whole generations have been growing up on Nutella – my husband for example!

Unfortunately, as we know, this popular spread has unhealthy ingredients that are an absolute no-no on a healthy sugar-free low-carb diet. As that baddie — sugar — is the main ingredient, the carb count becomes intolerably high. And when you add all that fat (Nutella contains an ample amount of palm oil), the combination of carbs and fat is pretty toxic. Even the manufacturer claims the palm oil is not hydrogenated; all that sugar is a very legitimate reason to skip the spread if you are concerned with your health — or the health of your loved ones. There is simply no reason to feed any kid Nutella, especially when preparing healthier, better-tasting options is so unbelievably easy!

And now, it’s time to present my newest creation: Irresistibly Easy No-Sugar “Nutella” Fudge.

I bet, after reading the headline, you know what we are celebrating. Yes, you’re right: It’s soon St. Patrick’s Day! And that means it’s time to enjoy delicious green-colored treats. And for some, it also means boozier indulgences. I certainly have you covered: The rich and creamy lemon cheesecake ice cream is naturally colored with delicate, spring-like green color (stay tuned to meet the ultimate plant-based ketogenic green color!) and topped with adults-only boozy whiskey syrup — which is ready in less than a minute. Also, the ice cream is easy to make. Just blend everything in a blender, let churn in an ice cream maker, and dig in! You can naturally serve this frozen treat year around; it makes a perfect summertime treat, too!

The best thing is, you can indulge liberally with this ice cream: it’s sugar-free, ketogenic, and super nutritious. It’s also an excellent way to add natural, healthy fats to your diet and makes a great fat bomb! What a perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Buttery Apple Bake with Rich Sugar-Free Vanilla Sauce

November 1, 2016 By elviira 2 Comments

Last week, I posted on Facebook about my Low-Carb Cinnamon Bundt Cake. I was planning to make the apple cake version and serve it with sugar-free vanilla sauce. Immediately, I was asked for the recipe for the vanilla sauce, and I promised to post it. Then, I thought, why not make a blog post about it? So, here we go!

And to give you something more to bite, you will find a recipe for a super-scrumptious Buttery Low-Carb Apple Bake in the end of this blog post! It’s quite like crumble but not really like crumble. It’s buttery, soft and moist, and really tasty! No wonder our family (and Grandma, as well!) totally fell in love with the apple bake and the vanilla sauce combo, so I bet it will become your favorite, too!

Bacon Wrapped Camembert with Walnuts and How to Make Bacon Weave

August 30, 2016 By elviira 7 Comments

I don’t know if this beauty is breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but I do know that it’s damn delicious and really low in carbs! I came up with this scrumptious creation a week ago when pondering stuff you can wrap in bacon (is there anything you CANNOT wrap in bacon!?).

Combining sweet and savory flavors as well as different textures — soft cheese and crunchy nuts in this case — creates the ultimate enjoyment.

So, this it is, the ultimate bacon-wrapped showstopper. It’s so mind-blowingly good!

Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding

August 2, 2016 By elviira 8 Comments

Those who are familiar with me know I cannot start my day without a big mug of strong, black coffee. A good start for the day simply cries for the sumptuous smell of coffee, which wakes up all your senses. And when you taste the first sip of freshly-made coffee, you feel each cell in your body wake up. Ok, maybe I’m a coffee addict, but that’s not too bad of an addiction, I think.

For a change, I enjoyed my morning coffee in another form. To be honest, I haven’t been a big lover of the extremely trendy chia puddings, maybe because I don’t like chia seeds. Well, to be even more honest, I haven’t even tried chia pudding, so I cannot really tell if I like it or not!

I got rid of my lack of knowledge, and did some low-carb chia pudding experiments. The winner proved this Coffee and Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding, which is a perfect all-in-one breakfast, including that sumptuous coffee! I’m sure you will love it, too.

These hot summer days just call for something cooling and refreshing. I love to whip up a chilly drink in blender or just enjoy infused water with an ample amount of ice cubes. Smoothie with avocado and protein powder makes a nice, light lunch.

However, when evening comes, this sweet, tangy and boozy adult-only treat is a sure bet to celebrate in the coolest way!

Basic Butter Frosting and Orange Butter Frosting

February 1, 2015 By elviira 10 Comments

These fat-filled luscious frostings are perfect for LCHF-style celebrations. These butter frostings are great for piping, making it easy to create gorgeous and delicious decorations on your low-carb cakes and cupcakes. Naturally, you can also use these scrumptious frostings as fillings, like I have done below with my whoopie pies.

You can easily create your own butter frosting variations by adding other flavorings, extracts or even powdered freeze-dried berries. For example, Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam works extremely well and makes a great frosting for example for the Valentine’s Day celebrations.

Moreover, these frostings are ready in a snap. No need to freeze or let them set. Just beat until fluffy and use immediately! You can store the leftover frosting in the fridge, but just remember to take it to room temperature at least half an hour before using.

Eggsquisite Eggnog Sauce

I’m in heaven! It’s now finally the time of the year when I can indulge in creamy and velvety eggnog. I just love those characteristic scents of rich cream, rum and nutmeg. The first sip of this thick nectar is the perfect enjoyment. After a few sips comes the feeling of ultimate relaxation!

This time I wanted to make eggnog flavored sauce with which you can crown your low-carb pies and cakes. Just think of a pumpkin pie smothered with this thick and rich sauce.
