Sugar-Free Candied Pecans
3 tablespoons liquid egg whites
1 cup granulated Lakanto monk fruit sweetener (use this link for 20% off)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
3 cups raw pecan halves

Directions

3. In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add Swerve Sweetener, spices, and pink Himalayan salt. Whisk the mixture until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4. Add the pecans and gently toss to coat with a large spoon or spatula.
5. Once coated, spoon the pecans onto the parchment paper. Spread pecans evenly over the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes until pecans are toasted a golden brown.

Keto Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

This dessert was surprisingly on point!! I can’t wait to take it to a holiday party and blow people’s minds with a keto friendly treat that they would never guess was keto. The cheese ball is so easy to make. Paired with the keto graham crackers, guests will have no idea it is a keto dish. I was also very surprised the graham crackers were crispy after cooling and taste better than the carby ones on the grocery store shelf. This recipe is  must try! You will not believe how tasty it is. If you make it for the holidays, please let us know!

Keto Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball Recipe

Keto Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

Keto Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
Ingredients

1 pack full-fat cream cheese softened
1/3 Keto Sweetener (we use Lakanto- get 20% off)
1/2 stick grass-fed butter softened
3/4 cup Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, you can also get them on Amazon

 

Instructions
Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips together with a hand mixer. After mixed well,  then stir in 3/4 cup Lilly’s Chocolate Chips. Serve or refrigerate. When taking to a holiday party, set out for a bit to get it to room temp and stir so the consistency is spreadable for the low carb keto graham crackers below. This recipe pairs so well with the low carb graham crackers below.

Low-Carb Keto Graham Crackers Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour
  • 1/3 cup Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener or other keto friendly sweetener
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • pinch of pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2.5 tbsp grass-fed butter melted
  • 2 tsp Lakanto maple flavored syrup (optional, but improves color and flavor)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, aluminum-free baking powder and pink Himalayan salt. Add liquid ingredients next. Stir in egg, melted butter, monk fruit syrup and vanilla extract until smooth dough forms.
  3. Place dough on a large piece of parchment paper and pat out shaping into a rectangle. Top with another piece of parchment. Roll out dough as evenly as possible to about 1/4 inch thickness pressing in the edges to maintain rectangular shape.
  4. Remove top parchment paper and cut into 2×2 inch squares using a pizza cutter. Transfer the entire piece of parchment onto a baking sheet.
  5. Bake 15- 20 minutes, watching closely until just beginning to brown and firm up. Remove crackers and let cool 30 minutes then break up along score marks. They will crisp up as they cool.

If you are looking for a tasty keto cereal let graham crackers cool then crumble them into a bowl and add some unsweetened almond milk. It tastes just like cinnamon toast crunch and it’s actually good for you! MY KIDS LOVED IT! We have found a new favorite.
