Low carb dessert recipes

-Pork rinds take on a whole new flavor with this idea. Sprinkle a 3-4 ounce bag of plain pork rinds with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of Splenda (trademark) and shake in a plastic zip bag. Heat in the oven at 350 degreees until crisp (about 10 minutes). These work great in the toaster oven too.

-Make your own low carb whipped cream by blending together heavy cream, Splenda (trademark) and a dash of vanilla. Layer it together with sugar free Jello and blueberries for a festive and fabulous parfait.

-Try Number One Peanut butter cookies. They’re called number one because all you need is:

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup of chunky peanut butter

1 cup of Splenda (trademark)

1 egg.

METHOD:

Mix together ingredients, roll into 1” balls. Place them about 1 inch apart on a baking sheet and using a fork flatten the balls gently. Press down in the other direction to create traditional crisscross design on the cookies. Bake for 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until cookies are completely dry in the center.

-Strawberries are a good choice when you’re eating low carb. Serve them to guests with bowls of full fat sour cream and Splenda (trademark). Then let guests dip each berry into the sour cream then lightly into the Splenda (trademark) for a rich, sweet finger food.

-Coffee slush is simple and very refreshing. Freeze left over coffee in ice cube trays.

Blend heavy cream, Splenda (trademark) and a dash of vanilla in a bowl. Pour mixture into a food processor or blender along with the coffee cubes to process into slush. Stir in a teaspoon of brandy if you like. Then top a generous scoop of the whipped cream or low carb ice cream.

-You won’t believe your dieting with this Fantastic Chocolate Cheese Cake

INGREDIENTS:

16 ounces cream cheese

3 large eggs

½ cup Splenda (trademark)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 small package sugar free chocolate pudding

METHOD:

Blend together cream cheese, eggs, Splenda (trademark), vanilla and sugar free pudding. Pour into a nonstick 9” pie pan lined with parchment or waxed paper. If you’re planning to serve the cake after you’ve removed it from the pan, consider using a spring form pan instead. Bake at 350 for an hour. Turn off the oven and wait 60 minutes. Chill and serve.

Top with whipped cream and strawberries for an extra kick.

So, treat your sweet tooth with these high flavor, low carb desserts.
