Quick Cream Cheese Glaze

-
I'm Back! I am sure you know by know how terrible I am at keeping up with these posts... I'm trying, I promise!


This will be a quick, 'straight to the post' post. You guys asked for it, so here it is! This was a spur of the moment glaze I whipped up - specifically so I could add holiday colors and make my cookies look a bit more festive without too much effort. I'll call it a success!

Bonus? It tastes good and barely alters the macros of the cookies as a whole. It seems like a fairly small batch, but it glazed 20 cookies for me with leftovers. (Which I may or may not have scooped out of the bowl with my finger to enjoy alllll by itself)

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1.5oz Cream Cheese
  • 2Tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1Tbsp Unsweetened Cashew Milk
  • Erythritol/Stevia to taste
  • Flavors/Coloring to taste
THE PROCESS:
  1. Soften the cream cheese (if not already softened) by microwaving on low power (30%) for 10-15 seconds bursts. Should be soft, but not melted.
  2. Add the HWC & Cashew Milk to the cream cheese and mix together. (This can be done with a spoon. No need for fancy tools on this one!)
  3. Add in your sweetener of choice and taste for sweetness.
  4. From here you can add in any flavor choices or coloring you want. 
  5. Then drizzle onto your cookies & enjoy! 
I have found this could re-crystalize in the refrigerator if you keep it in there too long. If you plan to simply glaze your cookies and then enjoy? You're golden!

Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies (Copycat Attempt)

-
Image
As I mentioned over on my Instagram, I was attempting to copycat the cookies made by High Key. A request from another keto friend that I am sure you all know - Megan. Problem? I have never tried these cookies. From what I had seen and the ingredients listed on the package, it looks like they may be a keto version of a crunchy mini cookie along the lines of Keebler or Famous Amos. That is what I set out to make. That being said, I am really quite impressed with the first trial of this recipe. I am sharing the exact ingredients I used since that is the only way I have tried this recipe so far, but feel free to experiment and let me know how it goes. INGREDIENTS ½ Cup (52g) Almond Flour 2 Tbsp (15g) Lupin Flour ½ Scoop (8g) Perfect Keto Salted Caramel Collagen (can use KETOON for a discount if interested) 2 Tbsp Sweet Cream Butter 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil Egg Yolk ¼ Cup Brown 'sugar' (I make my own from Erythritol, Mapeline, and Stevia Glycerite) ¼ tsp Pink Salt ½ tsp

White Chocolate Bars

As I mentioned in my post on Instagram - I will not be taking full credit for this one. This is a mixture of a couple different recipes I found online. Both Maya from Wholesome Yum & The Traveling Pastry Hunter put in the time and effort to work out all the details the first time around, so I wanted to be sure to give them credit. That being said, I mixed them together due to the ingredients I had, my need for them to be stable at room temp, and possibly a little bit of laziness thrown in for good measure. I am including an "Tools" section this time as well, since I am pretty sure without the immersion blender this would not be as amazing as it is. If you try without it I would definitely be interested to hear how it goes! TOOLS: Double Boiler (or if you are like me, a pot and a glass bowl) Immersion Blender (also called stick blender I think?) Chocolate Molds (okay, you can totally line a baking sheet with wax paper and just spread it out there) INGREDIENT

Valentines Day Series: Box of Chocolates | White Chocolate Peanut Butter

This one is incredibly simple if you already have white chocolate handy - and my husband thinks they turned out the best! (Strictly speaking of looks, he doesn't like peanut butter. I thought about having him committed since that simply doesn't seem natural to me... but to each their own I suppose.) Diving right in! INGREDIENTS: 40g White Chocolate 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter PROCESS: Chop up your white chocolate into small chunks and melt down. You can do this over a double boiler, but I just use the microwave. Same as the other chocolate melting I have mentioned. Chop finely, microwave for 30 second intervals at 30% power. Stir between each microwave sesh. Once you get it to a stage where most of it is melted and there are just a few chunks left - stir your heart out. Once you get your chocolate fully melted down - you simply mix it into the peanut butter.  Pour this mixture into your molds of choice (hopefully already lined with chocolate) - allow to set up at room
