Low-Carb Mug Cheesecake

Thanks to someone on one of the many Low-Carb Facebook pages that I follow for posting a Low-Carb cheesecake tonight! Of course the recipe sounded simple so I had to try it! I adapted the recipe to be less than the 6 carbs it started off at and mine is only 2 carbs! Heck yea! Now double the recipe because it is just that good!! Check it out!! 

Ingredients

- 2 tbsp sour cream (remember to look at the carb count and buy the lowest one! It's not always the full fat one either, so read carefully!) 

- 2 oz cream cheese

- 2 tbsp sugar free sweetener like Torani or Skinny Syrup

- 1 egg 

Directions

- melt the cream cheese in a mug for about a minute

- add 2 tbsp of sour cream, an egg, and 2 tbsp of the sugar free sweetener of your choice

- microwave for 90 seconds, then microwave at 30 second intervals till the cheesecake isn't runny (another 45 seconds for my microwave)

- now dig in and enjoy!!! 

Don't burn your tongue while enjoying this sweet treat! It's best when fresh and made to order and won't disappoint!! 

Seconds anyone?

Low-Carb Almond Milk Ice Cream

Oh hum yum yum yum!!!! Ice cream. Mouth. Watering. Yum yum yum. How dare you post a video on Facebook about how to make simple ice cream and not post a Low-Carb version?!?! What is wrong with people?!?! But hey, that's okay because I can create something for myself, and this post is to share it! I'm sharing especially for my friend Bella in Melbourne Australia who loves ice cream too!! 

Ingredients

- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk 

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2 tsp coconut extract (or another extract flavor of your choice) 

- 2 squirts of liquid Stevia (or liquid Sucralose or 2 packets of powdered sweetener) 

- 2 dashes of salt 

Instructions

- mix all ingredients in a freezer safe container 

- freeze overnight 

- when you're ready to eat, zap in the microwave for 25-30 seconds and your ice cream will be ready

- enduldge!!

Carb Breakdown: ONE for the cup of milk! (If you substitute a powder sweetener for a liquid, there will be more carbs) 

You can also put yummy additions into your ice cream such as - cocoa powder, chocolate chips, nuts, berries, SF syrups (Torani, butterscotch, chocolate, etc). Just try to add something sweet and SF (to keep the carb count down) and viola! Overnight instant ice cream!! Hope you like it!! 

Soothing my Sweet Tooth!
