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)

-

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...

Air Fried Chicken Drumsticks

This is another super simple meal idea that we recently fell in love with! You can switch this up so many ways - from the seasonings in the breading to the sauce you add on top. The possibilities are endless. (Those are my favorite recipes, if you have not yet learned that about me.) I should also mention that the breading mixture makes way more than you need for 3-4 drumsticks. I simply packed mine back up and used it to bread some veggies and some more chicken the following day. Feel free to half the recipe if you prefer. INGREDIENTS: 4 Chicken Drumsticks  Pickle Juice (enough to cover the drumsticks to brine) 20g Nutritional Yeast (roughly ¼ cup) ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese 1 tsp Garlic Powder Salt to taste (I just sprinkle some in the mix and call it a day) 1 Large Egg PROCESS: Add chicken drumsticks to a bowl (preferably one with a lid) and cover with pickle juice. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. While waiting on the drumsticks, mix together...
