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!

June 28, 2014 By elviira 6 Comments

Goodbye high-fructose corn syrup and artificial flavorings, welcome authentic flavors and natural stevia! These 3-ingredient ice pops are healthy and full of genuine taste straight from the arms of Mother Nature!

I developed this recipe last summer, but since it’s very topical again (at least for those of you who can enjoy hot summer weather and not snowing and hailing like we here in Finland…), I thought that I make some ice pops to delight my son and also finally publish the recipe. Hope you like it as well!

Sugar-Free Cranberry Orange Sauce (Vegan)

November 12, 2013 By elviira 4 Comments

Be prepared to Thanksgiving and the holiday season with this delicious low-carb relish! This sweet and tart sauce, with all its intense flavors, is a perfect companion to turkey, chicken or ham. In fact, to any meat or fish.

This is a great make-ahead sauce. You can prepare it a day or two before, the flavors get even better when they can marinate for some time. Just reheat the sauce before serving so that all the tiny crystals of erythritol dissolve. If you prefer to serve the sauce cold, I give some hints how to sweeten it in that case.

Luscious Low-Carb Lavender Lemon Bars (Dairy-Free)

July 14, 2013 By elviira 8 Comments

Luscious Low-Carb Lavender Lemon Bars — that is a lengthy name! I just wanted to choose as describing name for these extra delicious and extra tangy tidbits as I could. Actually, I wanted to include the word ‘little’ there as well, but that would have been an overkill. Moreover, you can cut as big or small bars as you want to. I think I prefer small bars anyway, since these delicacies are heavy stuff what comes to both taste and richness.
