Chocolate Pumpkin Ice Cream

2008-05-18T18:20:00.003-05:00

All I can say is OMG! This recipe is to die for!! It is so so good!!

3 cups heavy cream

1 cup canned pumpkin

3/4 cup low carb white sweetener

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tbsp. cocoa powder

1 tsp. pumpkin spice

4 egg yolks

In saucepan over medium low heat, melt butter. Add all ingredients except egg yolks to saucepan and whisk until blended. While cream mixture is heating, beat egg yolks in separate bowl. Take one cup of heated cream mixture and gradually add to egg yolks while continuously whisking (make sure cream mixture does not come to a boil). After adding cream to egg yolks, pour cream and egg mixture back into saucepan. Over low heat whisk continuously until mixture covers the back of a spoon. Remove pan from heat and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour mixture into ice cream machine and mix 8-10 minutes until soft set.

Yields 8 servings (1/2 cup each) - approximately 6.5 net carbs per serving

Note: It took my ice cream maker an hour to get the soft set ice cream. But it was well worth the wait!! 4 Starrs!!! yummy yummy yummy!!

I can't wait to have leftovers in the nights to come, it will be much firmer then!! yummy!!

Cleochatra's Low-Carb Donuts

2008-05-18T18:08:00.002-05:00

I got this recipe form the lighter side of low carb web site and I could not wait to try it!!

3 eggs, separated
3 ounces cream cheese
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp cram of tartar
1 Tbsp Splenda
2 Tbsp Davincis Vanilla Syrup (sugar free)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until peaks are stiff (about 5 minutes).
In separate bowl, blend cream cheese, yolks, baking powder and davincis sugar free syrup. Adding half of the yolk batter at a time to the whites and using a tall spoon (I use an iced tea spoon), make a lazy sine wave through the batter once. Turn the bowl 90 degrees and repeat. Add second half of the yolk mix and repeat sine wave two more times.
Place in ungreased, nonstick angel food miniature cake pans.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove pans from oven and let cool on a cooling rack.Makes 4 crullers.

Chocolate Glaze
2 Lindt 80% dark chocolate squares
1 tbsp davincis vanilla sugar free syrup
2 tbsp Splenda
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp butter
In a microwavable bowl, combine ingredients. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well. Dip tops of crullers into mixture. Drizzle any remaining mixture to fill bare spots. Let crullers rest on cooling rack until glaze has set.

Will coat 6-8 crullers, and can be used for other purposes.
This does dry to a shiny glaze

Keep unused portions and completes recipes in cooler temperatures.

We loved these!! They were very good and I would give them a 4 starr rating!!

Jalapeno Turkey Beef Burgers

2008-05-17T19:35:00.004-05:00

My husband brought home some ground turkey today. I hate ground turkey!! LOL,, It just does not have any taste. So I did some thinking, its a scary thing, and came up with this yummy burger!

Ground Turkey
Breakfast Beef Patties
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Jalapeno Jack Cheese

I seasoned the ground turkey with Tony's. I then took some ground turkey and formed it around a beef patty until I could no longer see the Beef patty. Then I cooked it up in my fry pan with butter. Cook just like any hamburger patty. Once it is done top with Cheese and serve with lettuce, tomatoes, and some Jalapeno slices and sour cream.

Our dinner was so so good!!! I will be making this again!!

Low Carb Snickers/Protein Bar

2008-05-13T09:06:00.003-05:00

I found this yummy recipe on www.musclehack.com. It is so good!!! you have to try it!!

Here's the ingredients:

1. Natural Nut Butter of your choice - I like hazelnut butter as it’s lowest in carbs
2. Heavy/Double Cream
3. Whey Protein - The flavor of your choice.

For the snickers effect choose chocolate whey and chunky peanut butter.

1. Put 50 grams of nut butter and 25 grams of whey protein into a bowl
2. Mix a little until dry and clumpy
3. Add 40ml of heavy cream. Now it magically smooths out quickly when mixed
4. Take out of bowl and shape into a bar

The conversions from metric to imperial:

50 grams natural peanut butter, 1 3/4 ounces or 3 tablespoons
25 grams (1 scoop or 1/3 cup) chocolate whey protein powder
40ml heavy cream, about 2 tablespoons

Dont miss this great one!! Make it today!!

Low Carb/Fat, Sugar Free, High Protein Cake!

2008-05-06T17:49:00.003-05:00

I found a young man on youtube making this cake and it looked pretty good. It is a little bit higher carb but I wanted to try it anyways because I have a lot of friends that are into the low fat dieting and I wanted to see if this was something they might like.

I think I ended beating my eggs whites to much, my cake turned out lighter then his. It was easy to make. Over all it seemed a little dry. It was pretty good I would give it 2.5 starrs. But taking away the fat took away the taste! LOL.. I may try this again but use soy or some kind of nut flour in place of the wheat flour and add the egg yellows back into the recipe. That will lower the carbs and bring back the yummy!

Taco's

2008-05-03T20:58:00.008-05:00

Taco Shells from Zucchini : (This is the one I made tonight)

1 large zucchini, shredded

2 eggs

2 cups cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Grease 2 cookie sheets.

Cut ends from zucchini. Shred. Mix with egg and cheese. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, make 6-8” circles on greased cookie sheet(s). Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes. Loosen and flip the circles. Bake for another 5 minutes at 450 degrees. Take hot patties and wrap around a rolling pin. When cool enough to handle and with form, let cool on a rack for 6-8 hours in a cool oven. (To hold the shape, if you have those stackable racks, you can inset the edges through the racks of a cooling rack or your oven and allow them to hang down. They may curl slightly. Don't panic! They should be still pliable enough the next day to open without breaking).

Note: I just let cool on the rolling pin for about 15 mins then we ate them up...LOL

Makes about 6 shells. Note: it made 7 big shells for me!! Also use non stick pans only,, only one my pans where non stick and I had a hard time getting them off the other pan..LOL

I am going to make them again one night but cut into chip size and have nacho night!! woohoo I can wait!!

1 16 ounce bag of cauliflower, shredded, chopped or riced

3- Minute Flourless Chocolate Cake

2008-05-02T13:28:00.003-05:00

I made this today to eat after lunch!! OMG It looked so good I ate it before my tuna fish sandwich. I have seen this recipe many times on different groups and there are many different ways everyone makes it. So this is how I made it.

1 tablespoon butter

1 egg

1 tablespoon DaVinci sugar free syrup, vanilla flavor

4 tablespoons Splenda

1 tablespoon heavy cream

2 tablespoons of cocoa

In a small microwaveable bowl ( I used a glass measuring cup ) throw in everthing listed. Microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. The butter does not have to be completely melted. Whisk until batter is as smooth as possible. Microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 mins. I have a old microwave so it took the longer times but if your microwave is in good working order use the shorter times.

This is so good!! and so easy to make.. I hope you try it!!! yummy!!!

Linda's Deep Dish Pizza

2008-04-29T08:58:00.003-05:00

This pizza is so so so good!! My husband ask for it all the time!

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1 ounce (I used the kind in a can)

1/4 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

8 ounces Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup pizza sauce

4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

Assorted toppings: pepperoni, ham, sausage, 4 ounce can mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, ground beef, etc. Dash of garlic pepper or garlic powder and some Italian seasoning for top of pizza

In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Whisk in eggs until mixture is well-blended and smooth. Add the parmesan and seasonings, then stir in the 8 ounces of mozzarella until completely moistened. Spread cheese mixture evenly in a well-greased 9x13" glass baking dish or lightly greased and lined with parchment paper (see note below). Bake at 375º 20-25 minutes or until evenly browned, but not too dark. Let cool completely on a wire rack. When nearly cooled, take a metal spatula and carefully pry up the edges to loosen from pan. Ease the spatula under the whole crust to loosen. Keep crust in the pan. This makes it easier to remove the finished pizza later. Refrigerate, uncovered, until shortly before serving time

Spread chilled crust with pizza sauce, then cheese and toppings of your choice. Lightly sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. Bake at 375º about 15-20 minutes or until toppings are bubbly. Let stand a few minutes before cutting.

Linda says,I don't recommend making this in a metal baking pan as it will stick making the pizza very difficult to remove and the pan very hard to clean. I think I may have discovered the secret to a crispy crust. I left the baked crust uncovered in the refrigerator for several hours. I think that allowed it to dry out a bit so that it became crisp during the second baking with the toppings. I was able to pick the pizza up in my hands.

NOTE: If you lightly grease the pan and line it with parchment paper, you'll have no trouble removing the pizza from the pan later. Greasing the pan makes the parchment stick to it so you can easily spread the crust batter.

Oopsie Roll Almost Tiramisu

2008-04-29T07:58:00.009-05:00

I saw this recipe on The Lighter Side of Low-Carb web page and it looked so good!!

Here is her recipe and I will break down what I did below that:

marymc's Oopsie Roll Almost Tiramisu

Okay, set aside about a cup or so of your morning coffee, or make some from instant, but either way, let it cool down. Take your favorite Revolution Roll recipe (Cleo’s Oopsie would be an excellent choice) except add a teaspoon of vanilla and extra sweetener in with the yolks and cream cheese. I sweetened this one with one tablespoon of the DaVinci’s Delce de Leche and it was nowhere near sweet enough, so next time I may just do the Sugar Twin or Splenda instead, or add extra DaVinci’s. Blend together the yolks, vanilla, sweetener and cream cheese (or whatever you’re using) and of course, whip up your whites with the cream of tartar. I had doubled the original Dr. Atkins RR recipe, but it was really a bit much and made for a pretty thick “cake.” Maybe could have gotten by on a single recipe for a thinner layer. Fold the yolk mixture carefully into your whipped up whites as usual. Butter up a long (10 x 13” or so) baking pan really well and spread your batter in there, smoothing out the top. Bake at 300 degrees for about 45 minutes. I swear this smells like a cake baking!! Remove from the oven and let it cool thoroughly.

Once cooled, whip up about a cup of heavy cream, with sweetener - again I used DaVinci’s Delce de Leche, 2 tablespoons this time, and this was really good. I folded in some sour cream that I made out of pureed cottage cheese and lemon but think using mascarpone (which I will buy next time I try this) or even more cream cheese or store bought sour cream would’ve been much better here. The sweetness in the whipped cream was good with the 2 tablespoons. When your RR cake has cooled, slice it in half down the center and then divide each half into 8 fingers (4 long sections then sliced in half).

Butter a loaf pan and then line it with parchment paper, leaving some excess over the sides so that you have some handles to pull the dessert out with later. Using a hand held sieve, sprinkle a little bit of cocoa on top of the parchment paper. Quickly dip each cake finger into the coffee and layer them in the bottom of your pan. Spread some of the whipped topping blend on top of the cake fingers and sprinkle more cocoa on top of the cream layer. Continue layering with more coffee dipped fingers, whipped topping, and cocoa, for 2 to 3 layers (depends on your loaf pan size) and ending with a sprinkling of cocoa on top. Refrigerate overnight. Carefully lift dessert out of the pan, slice, serve and enjoy!

**notes: It looks pretty good doesn't it? Well, the "roll" part needed to be much, much sweeter, so I ended up sprinkling some Sugar Twin on that slice you see (which ended up being my breakfast ), and it needs some other tweaks and improvements, but that may take some time. I'm not sure of the carbs yet but this isn't something I want to make a major food group or anything!! So, in other words... it'll be awhile before I experiment with it again.

*******************************

To make fingers:

6 eggs

1/3 cup of Splenda

3 oz cream cheese

One scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein

1/8 tsp of cream of tarter

1 tsp of vanilla

salt

pre heat oven to 350

whip up egg whites and cream of tarter in mixer until light and fluffy. In another bowl mix your whey protein, salt, chopped up cream cheese, Splenda, vanilla and egg yellows. use a fork to mix , this will take a little while. Then carefully mix the batter with the eggs whites. Then spread out into a cookie sheet with sides. Then bake for 20 to 25 mins.

Then cut into finger size.

Then let cool

Now make your cream:

2 cups of whipping cream
1/2 cup of splenda
2/3 cup of sour cream
Whip up your whipping cream and splenda then fold in sour cream.
then spray/oil and line your pan with paper.

Then Using a hand held sieve, sprinkle a little bit of cocoa on top of the parchment paper. Quickly dip each cake finger into the coffee and layer them in the bottom of your pan. Spread some of the whipped topping blend on top of the cake fingers and sprinkle more cocoa on top of the cream layer. Continue layering with more coffee dipped fingers, whipped topping, and cocoa, for 2 to 3 layers (depends on your loaf pan size) and ending with a sprinkling of cocoa on top. Refrigerate overnight.

**NOTES: This turned out just ok, I am only posting it because I spent a lot of time on it! LOL What was wrong with this recipe: It tasted nothing like Tiramisu. Now this recipe would be a nice dessert if a few changes were made. The cake fingers need to cook until a little firmer, maybe about 30 mins, Do not dip the fingers in coffee!!! ( this made it soggy and the coffee did nothing for this recipe) I would add some cinnamon and more splenda to the fingers batter. Then it would make a nice after dinner dessert. This recipe made two cakes using bread pans.

Add on: My husband had them for dessert tonight and he loved them!! LOL.. I guess I am picky..lol,, but it was a go for him.

As is I would give it a one starr rating, with changes it could be a 3 or 4.
