Keto Cookie Dough Dip Recipe

Keto Cookie Dough Dip Recipe – How to make easy low carb sugar free chocolate chip cookie dough dip – no bake dessert idea with the video.

Keto Cookie Dough Dip Recipe

This keto cookie dough dip makes an indulgent no bake dessert that’s easy and ready in an instant.

The dessert makes a lovely sweet treat that’s loaded with chocolate chips and will help you both stay on plan and meet your macros thanks to the inclusion of plenty of healthy fats.

I’ve gone for 4 core ingredients in my recipe, and there are tons of variations and additions to make your own personalised cookie dough dip dessert. Here are some keto friendly ideas:

Add salt
Add vanilla
Add peppermint or another flavoring
Add cocoa powder
Add coffee
Swap the butter for 1/4 cup peanut butter

To make the actual dessert, all you need to do ahead of time is take the butter and cream cheese out of the fridge to begin to soften.

Then, it’s just a matter of whisking the butter and cream cheese until creamy. For the sweetness, you can add stevia or your sweetener of choice.

If you can get hold of a keto friendly powdered sugar (like this) then you’ll find that it blends in quickly, smoothly and evenly. Whisk in the sweetener then fold through half of the chocolate chips.

Move the dip to a bowl and top with the other half of the chocolate chips. You can then enjoy the dip immediately or pop it into the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Keto Cookie Dough Dip Recipe

1.7oz/50g Butter, softened
3.5oz/100g Cream Cheese
2-4 Tablespoons Stevia or Keto Powdered Sugar
1/4 to 1/2 Cup Keto Chocolate Chips

Place the butter and cream cheese into a large bowl and whisk, using electric beaters until creamy.
Add in the stevia or keto powdered sugar and whisk in until smooth.
Fold half of the chocolate chips through the dip until fully incorporated.
Move the dip to a serving bowl and top with the other half of the chocolate chips.
Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop, then consume within a few days.

Keto Raspberry Mousse Recipe

April 21, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Raspberry Mousse Recipe – Easy 4 Ingredient Low Carb Sugar Free No Bake Dessert Idea with raspberries – with the video tutorial.

Keto Raspberry Mousse

This Keto Raspberry Mousse makes a light, creamy low carb and ketogenic diet friendly dessert, is quick to put together and has only 4 simple ingredients.

The mousse makes a romantic dessert to make for special occasions, like valentine’s day or mother’s day, or simply any time of the year when you’re craving a simple sweet treat that’s low in net carbs and keto diet approved.

How To Make The Low Carb Recipe

To make the low carb raspberry mousse recipe couldn’t be easier – start by whipping heavy cream, with an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, until you just start to get stiff peaks.

You can use heavy cream, heavy whipping cream or double cream. Any cream that you can whip into whipped cream is what you want to use in this instance.

Then, whisk in stevia, monk fruit sweetener or your sweetener or regular sugar substitute of choice. It’s up to you how sweet you like your sweet treats to be, go for 2 to 4 tablespoons.

You can further enhance the flavor of the fruity dessert by adding in a pinch of salt or half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, or boost the raspberry flavor by adding in a little bit of raspberry extract.

Once the sweetener has been incorporated, add in the cream cheese and whisk until you have a light, creamy keto cheesecake fluff mousse.

For the raspberry mixture, you can whisk all the fresh raspberries in, fold them through or just top the dessert with a handful of fresh berries.

Or, you can do as I do, and go for a variety of textures by including all three elements in the dessert.

You can enjoy the guilt-free dessert straight away, but I find that the easy recipe benefits from a few hours in the fridge, to thicken slightly and to allow the flavors to develop together.

The low carb diet no bake recipe can be served in one pretty serving bowl, or popped into a piping bag and swirled into individual small cups or shot glasses for an indulgent keto raspberry cheesecake mousse experience.

How to make low carb mousse with raspberries

Keto Raspberry Mousse Recipe

1 Cup Cream (Heavy/Whipping/Double)
2-4 Tablespoons Stevia or Low Carb Sweetener
7oz/200g Cream Cheese
1/4 to 1/2 Cup Raspberries

Pour the cream into a large bowl and, using a hand mixer on high speed, whisk until soft peaks form.
Add the stevia or your sweeteners of choice into the mixing bowl and whisk until fully incorporated.
Add the cream cheese and whisk until mixed through and creamy.
Chop most of the raspberries, then whisk some of the berries into the mousse, fold more of them into the mousse and finally, top with a small handful of berries.
Pop the delicious dessert into the fridge for a few hours to thicken, then enjoy.

Keto Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

This Keto Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting makes a sweet, decadent topping for low carb cakes, cupcakes, brownies or to sandwich keto cookies together.

Keto Powdered Sugar – the trick to super smooth icing is using powdered or icing sugar. Thankfully a keto friendly version is easy to find on Amazon. (Find it here.)

Take the cream cheese and butter out of the fridge a few hours before needed, so that it’s perfectly soft and ready for whipping.

It’s up to you how sweet or dark to make your frosting, start with a smaller amount of keto sugar and cocoa powder and then add more of one or the other until you have the perfect chocolate frosting for you.

Keto Chocolate Frosting Recipe

100g/3.5oz Cream Cheese, softened
50g Unsalted Butter, softened
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add the vanilla and whisk in.
Add the keto sugar and whisk in until fully combined.
Add the cocoa powder and whisk one last time until smooth and creamy. You can have a quick taste of the frosting and add more cocoa powder or keto sugar, depending on the chocolate/sweetness ratio you’re after.
Use straight away or place in the fridge for a few hours to harden, if need be. Store in the fridge, ideally in a sealed container, and enjoy within 4 to 5 days.

Sugar Free Jam Recipe

March 9, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Sugar Free Jam Recipe – How to make easy low carb keto friendly jam with frozen mixed berries – with the video.

Sugar Free Jam Recipe

This sugar free jam recipe has only 3 ingredients and you can make it with any low carb friendly berries you like.

Chia seeds work to thicken and set the jam, while adding plenty of healthy fiber, without the need for pectin.

I went for a bag of frozen mixed berries for a jam that’s bursting with beautiful berry flavor.

You can enjoy this jam in any of the following keto friendly ways:

Mixed through low carb yogurt
With keto waffles
With keto pancakes
With keto bread
To sandwich together keto breakfast cookies

Sugar Free Jam Recipe

500g/1.1lb Berries
1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
1/4 Cup Stevia

Place the frozen berries into a small saucepan on the stove top over medium to high heat.
Heat, stirring continuously, until the berries have become soft and can be easily mashed with the back of a spoon or fork.
Take the berries off of the stove top and mash until smooth. I like to use a potato masher to mash the berries, if you’d like a smoother consistency then you can use a stick blender.
Add the chia seeds and stevia, and stir until well combined. Taste to be sure the jam is sweet enough, stirring through more stevia, if you’d like the jam to be sweeter.
Allow to cool and then pour the jam into a jar and move to the fridge to cool completely and thicken.
Use the jam within a week and enjoy.

You can enjoy parmesan in keto friendly meals like Keto Fried Chicken, roasted brussel sprouts with parmesan or the above pictured zucchini with alfredo sauce.

Originally called Parmesano meaning ‘from Parma’ , true Parmesan cheese is called Parmigiano-Reggiano that on average is aged for two years.

This aging leaves behind a beautifully complex hard cheese that is high in fat, protein and ultra low in carbs.

393 kcal/1644kj (kilojoules)
Protein: 32g
Fat: 28g
Carbs: 0g (That’s not a typo – zero carbs)

In addition to its zero carbs one study on Parmigiano-Reggiano found its also very high in calcium, which helps to strengthen the bones and teeth and high in vitamins A and D which support the immune system.

Plus Parmesan contains good amounts of magnesium which supports metabolic function, biotin which is needed for energy and vitamin B12 which can help with brain cognition, red blood cell production and can reduce anaemia.

Cheddar Cheese

Originating in the village of Cheddar in an area of England called Somerset, cheddar has been around for at least 900 years, if not longer.

While there are many different styles of cheddar cheese the main strengths of the cheese varies depending on the maturing process:

Mild 3 months
Medium 3-6 months
Mature 9 months
Extra Mature 15 months
Vintage 18+ months

When choosing Cheddar cheese be sure to pick the full-fat varieties. The carb content is extremely low at 0 – 1g per 100g (3.5oz) depending on what type, brand and strength. The more mature varieties tend to be lower in carbs.

Below is the nutritional info per 100g (3.5oz) on cheddar cheese (macros):

393 kcal/1644kj (kilojoules)
Protein: 25g
Fat: 32g
Carbs: 0g

The curds are then stacked to decrease moisture, cut away or removed and then pressed into moulds and matured to the the relevant strength of the cheese – a process called “cheddaring”.
