Keto Peach Cobbler

This recipe is from a Keto Cookbook I own. I’ve changed a few things on the recipe. I am posting the changed recipe below. The original recipe said to cover with foil so the dough doesn’t burn. I am changing that to bake for 15 – 20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and then cover with foil. Also, I add more cinnamon than the original recipe called for. Lastly, I think vanilla extract needs to be added. I’m adding 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the recipe.

No Sugar Added Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

Ingredients
9 inch spring-form pan
For Crust
2 1/2 cups pecan flour or pecans to turn into pecan flour
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons Swerve Brown Sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Stevia
2 tablespoons cinnamon

For Filling
3 – 8oz packages cream cheese (room temp)
1 cup Stevia
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
The zest & juice of 1 lemon
3 large eggs (room temp)
2 large egg yolks (room temp)
2 cups blueberries


For Topping
1 – 2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons water
1 cup blueberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
For Crust

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Pour pecan flour into mixing bowl. (To make pecan flour watch video. Blend pecans to flour consistency).
Mix in all ingredients.
Place parchment paper in the bottom of spring-form pan.
Spray the sides of pan with cooking spray.
Pour crust mixture into pan.
Pat the mixture out until the bottom is covered. If you want the crust to go up the sides of the cheesecake then pat up the sides on the pan.
Place crust in oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Turn oven down to 300 degrees.
Once cooled prepare for a water bath.
I place the spring-form pan in an oven bag and then add a layer of aluminum foil over that for extra protection.
Then place the spring-form pan into a large pan. I use a larger cast iron skillet.

For Filling
Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Mix until smooth.
Add in flour & Stevia & mix until smooth.
Add in the sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice and continue to mix on low speed until combined.
Add eggs one at a time and mix before adding the next.
Fold in the blueberries.
Pour the filling onto the crust.
Double check to make sure spring-form pan is ready for water bath. Make sure everything is wrapped where it won’t leak.
I’m using a cast iron that I’m putting the spring-form pan in. I will fill the cast iron with water until the spring-form has water a little over half-way up the side.
Place in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Turn oven off and leave the cheesecake in the closed oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, open the door slightly and leave the cheesecake in for another 30 minutes.
Once that time has passed, remove the cheesecake from the oven.
Remove the water bath materials as soon as it is cool enough to touch.
Place cheesecake in the refrigerator to continue cooling.


For the Topping
Over medium heat pour blueberries into sauce pan.
Mix together water and flour and pour in.
Mix in remaining ingredients.
Mix until the sauce thickens.
If it does not thicken enough add an additional tablespoon of water and flour mixed together.
Once thickened, remove from heat.
Place in the refrigerator to cool.


Once cheesecake and topping has cooled. Pour the topping on the cheesecake. Garnish with sugar free whipped topping.

Sugar-free Pecan Praline Biscuits

Ingredients
1 can of biscuits or 6 – 8 homemade biscuits (uncooked)
For filling
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon butter melted
1 tablespoon Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute
Praline Glaze
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions
Preheat oven to whatever temperature the biscuit can says or the biscuit recipe calls for.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If using homemade biscuits, place the biscuits into a freezer for about 10 minutes to get firm enough to cut in half.
Cut biscuits in half.
Over medium heat mix together the filling ingredients. Cook for a couple of minutes until pecans smell toasted.
Remove from heat and place a spoonful on the biscuits. (Place on the bottom half of the biscuits.) Place the top back on the biscuits and you will have a pecan filled biscuit.
Place in preheated oven and bake until golden brown.

Praline Glaze
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add in Swerve brown sugar. Add in pecans and cook until sugar is dissolved. About 2 – 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add in heavy whipping cream.
Mix constantly for a couple minutes until it turns into a glaze and thickens.
Add in vanilla extract.
Keep warm until biscuits are done. If it cools it will harden a little and it needs to be a glaze when poured over biscuits.
Remove done biscuits from oven and pour over each biscuit. This is best served immediately while warm. But it can be reheated for later.
Serve and enjoy!

***Note – If you don’t want sugar-free you can use regular brown sugar instead of Swerve and get the same results.

Sugar-free, Dairy-free Hot Chocolate

You can add regular milk and sugar to this recipe if you don’t want it to be sugar-free or dairy-free and it is still delicious. I am watching my sugar intake and decided to try it with unsweetened almond milk. It turned out great.

Ingredients
1/2 cup swerve confectioners sugar substitute
1/4 cup Hershey’s Cocoa Powder unsweetened
1 pinch of salt
1/3 cup hot water
4 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

This has marshmallows with sugar in them. But you can make sugar free marshmallows or buy them on Amazon.


Directions
Add swerve, cocoa powder, and salt to a sauce pan and mix.
Over medium low heat add in hot water.
Mix until it has a chocolate syrup consistency and bring to a boil
Boil 3 minutes
Add in milk
Continue to heat. Milk should be hot but not boiling. Turn heat off once it is hot. You can see the steam when it is hot.
Add in vanilla extract.
Pour into mug and enjoy.
This can also be topped with sugar free cool whip or marshmallows.

No Bake Sugar-Free Retro Pie Filling

The pie crust I am using has 3g sugar and 9g carbs. In order for the pie to be truly sugar- free you would need to find a sugar free pie crust. The pie filling is sugar-free.

Ingredients

Graham Cracker or Pecan Pie Crust (Sugar free if you can find it)
8oz container of sugar free Cool Whip
3oz box Jello gelatin (Any flavor you desire. That will be the flavor of the pie.)
2/3 cup boiling water
8oz measuring cup with 1/2 cup very cold water and fill up the remainder of the way with ice.
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a heat proof bowl mix together the gelatin and boiling water. Mix until dissolved.
Mix the 8oz measuring cup with ice and water into gelatin mixture.
Mix until it thickens just a little.
Remove any ice cubes that didn’t melt.
Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract into container of Cool Whip and then mix that into Gelatin mixture.
Stir until blended well.
Pour into pie crust.
Cover with plastic lid that comes with pie crust.
Refrigerate for 4 – 5 hours.
Top with additional whipped topping, fruit, or leave it plain.
Share with all your human friends. This pie is very light and fluffy. It has a great flavor and is a great dessert option for a diabetic. Super easy to make. I think orange would be good because it would taste like an orange cream pie. I haven’t tried it yet because my local store did not have sugar free orange Jell-O. I will keep an eye out for it.
