Chocolate Fudge Balls

I found this recipe originally through Pinterest.

6 oz Cream Cheese
4 packets Stevia
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Optional toppings:
chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut
(I used about 1/4 cup of coconut.)

Soften cream cheese slightly; add stevia and cocoa powder. Mix ingredients well. Place back into the fridge for about an hour then using a small cookie scoop drop one leveled scoop into coconut and completely cover with the coconut. This makes 8-9 balls. Store in an air tight container in the fridge.

note: I didn't put my mixture in the fridge before making into balls and it still worked.

Strawberry Ice Cream

I found this recipe in my Vitamix cook book (page 224). I modified it to make it Keto Friendly.

1 cup Heavy Cream
1 lb frozen strawberries
1/4 cup splenda
1/2 tsp vanilla

1. Place all ingredients into the vitamix in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Select Variable 1.
3. Turn machine on and quickly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
4. Use tamper to press ingredients into the blades.
5. In about 30-60 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and four mounds should form.
6. Stop machine. Do not over mix or melting will occur. Serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings

Chocolates on Valentines day!!

I recently came across this recipe and decided to give it a whirl. it has some of the same ingredients as my oh-so-favorite homemade granola bars, which of course have rolled oats... not so Keto friendly. However, this recipe it does have honey in it, but if you are really looking for a sweet treat, it's better to grab one of these than a slice of cake...

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

1/2 c. coconut oil
1/2 c. almond/peanut butter (i use peanut butter)
1/4 c. honey
1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 c. cocoa powder

In a small sauce pan on medium heat, melt coconut oil, nut butter, and honey. Stir so it does not burn. when melted, add vanilla, stir. and pour into a blender. add 1/2 c. cocoa and mix well in blender.

Line mini muffin tins with papers and pour mixture into the cups.

chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
or freeze for 40 minutes.

keep in refrigerator in a sealed container or Ziploc.

makes 24, mini cups
1 mini cup= 3 Net Carbs!

This is the Cocoa I found on Amazon, that only has 1 net carbs per serving.
Happy Valentines Day!!!
