Keto Friendly Brownies
Fudgy Brownies are a must for me now and then. Actually, more often! Once into the Ketogenic Diet I had to have Brownies and here they are. These are no sugar, no gluten, low carb. So, with that said I give this recipe a solid B (4 Star) when comparing it to this recipe with real sugar. That’s where the scale drops a bit. I used Swerve (Here’s a little information, Sweeteners.) Swerve is one of the newer sweeteners and claims are made it causes less stomach upset, tastes more like the real thing and can be used in baking like sugar 1:1. I found there isn’t an aftertaste as with other sweeteners but there is, I guess you’d call, a texture difference from the real thing. It’s hard to describe … like cold tiny bubbles of sweetness dissolving on your tongue. I thought pop rocks but that’s a little exaggerated.
With all this said the recipe is worth a try and you can decide for yourself if it’s a keeper. When using the best unsweetened baking chocolate not much else matters when it comes to brownies.
Next up this week-end is (Ketogenic) Hamburger Cheese Bake with Spaghetti Squash Noodles. 5 Star!
All about good ingredients and the main ingredient is CHOCOLATE! This dessert can be put together with mixes but if you really want to knock your & family’s socks off use homemade cake, pudding and toffee candy. And by all means whip the heavy cream. Coffee, Kahlua or Bailey’s is poured over the cake when layered and all this melds together into an amazing delectable dessert. A heavenly dessert idea is one of Melissa’s, my hairstylist, who not only does a fantastic hair color but has given me some wonderful food ideas … ethnic recipes usually, 
A recipe gone a little bit wrong! It wasn’t the Buttermilk Pie recipe or even the Gingersnap Crust recipe … It was in the baking! The crust lifted into the filling during baking! The taste was amazing but I hadn’t intended the crust to become a topper. Didn’t I press the gingersnap crust into the pie plate firmly enough? That’s a possibility because after my failure or success, depending how you look at it, I did a search for buttermilk pie with crumb crust. It does work! The crumb crust seemed more inviting with this pie … Gingersnaps because of the spice … And who likes a soggy crust? Conventional crusts tend to get soggy with this pie filling as with custard pies. Would I try this combination again? Possibly! But the next fallback is my cheesecake crust instead. And while I’m talking about cheesecake this pie has a similar taste, tangy sweet. The texture is a little different but not by too much.
Chocolatey goodness recipe from Southern Lady Magazine. Simple 20 minute prep (includes frosting) with a 30 minute bake. Like chocolate cake or brownies? Like easy cake recipes? You’ll love this! Enjoy!
So many requests for birthday apple pie! I made a ‘cake’ of it this time! Used a springform pan thinking original but see it’s been done before. It’s pretty unique just the same, and worth the bit of extra time. If you don’t believe it ask your guests!
