Fall is full of intensive smells and colors. Pumpkins glow bright orange, yellow, green and other fancy colors. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg… The kitchen is fragrant with the scent of delicious spices when it’s fall.

The custard has velvety texture and smooth taste with luscious pumpkin and intensive spices, which is just what you need when it’s getting chilling outside and you want something rich to feel comfortable and satisfied.

Low-Carb Marshmallow Fluff Frosting

September 11, 2012 By elviira 38 Comments

Marshmallow fluff is not the easiest thing to convert into low-carb. Commercial sugar-laden versions have high-fructose corn syrup as main ingredient — which is really bad, bad, bad. And sticky. With low-carb ingredients you cannot get that sticky result, at least not easily. But since I’m not in favor of stickiness, I created this yummy airy, fluffy frosting as healthier low-carb alternative to fill and frost your baked goods.

Panna Cotta with Blackcurrant Sauce

September 8, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

Panna cotta is a popular Italian dessert and means cooked cream. Many panna cotta recipes contain for example milk or half and half in addition to cream. This recipe, however, has only the real stuff: heavy cream. When real vanilla is added to season the gentle creaminess and tangy blackcurrant sauce covers the rich smoothness, you can just forget all the bad things in this world when indulging yourself with this divine dessert.

Chocolate Mini Muffins

July 21, 2012 By elviira 36 Comments

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.
