Best Keto Key Lime Pie Recipe (dairy free option)
Get ready to be excited for the best keto Key Lime Pie recipe ( with a dairy free option)! I was born in the Wilmington, North Carolina and it seemed like every special occasion there was a key lime pie that was mandatory. My dad is from Charleston, SC and it was his favorite too so I like to make it for him on his birthday. This year I wanted to make a keto version of key lime pie for him that was sugar free with a dairy free option. This pie got rave reviews from my family including my dad and husband who are both fans of regular key lime pie (not keto key lime pie). One of the most important ingredients here is the gelatin that is the insurance that this pie will come together and have the right texture. It does have eggs but they are sometimes not enough to make it just right. Also Gelatin provides nutrients missing from the western diet that were very important for our ancestors who had much more robust health than we do today. This Best Keto Key Lime Pie Recipe is a perfect way to get more gelatin in your diet! I love to use gelatin and collagen in my fatty coffee, also for keto recipes. I have used several brands but the one that has been really impressing me lately is from a great company called FURTHER FOOD!It is an awesome company that makes collagen supplements that are truly from the heart.

Keto Berry Cobbler Recipe
My sister makes this keto berry crisp recipe all the time for family occasions. It is a big hit with everyone, even people are not going Keto or low carb. Whip up some heavy cream for a luscious topping that makes it even better. This recipe used frozen berries so you don’t have to worry about berries being in season and it makes it more affordable. This keto berry crisp makes a lot of servings so it perfect for taking to a party to make everyone happy. If you are following a keto or paleo diet you can eat this without feeling like you are cheating. If you are dairy free just top with some coconut milk topping. It is low in carb count and has a lot of fiber coming from the berries and nuts which lowers the net carbs. I don’t think anyone needs to eat sugar substitutes everyday but it is a good option for special occasions and holidays. I like to use brands: Swerve or Lakanto when baking for my family, or just stevia extract powder. We are from the south and desserts like crips or cobbler are the king of desserts. Growing up we always had something like this but it was full of sugar or covered with gluten filled dough. This keto berry crisp is a great change of pace without breaking your belt loops. My grandma made similar versions but they usually included Bisquick so this kind of dessert holds fond memories for me. My dad also loves crisp and cobbler so this always makes him smile whenever my sister makes this dish. If you want to leave off the resistant starch it will still workout just be a little more watery but still delicious. The amount of starch is so small, using 1 tablespoon of potato starch in the whole recipe. What are some of your favorite desserts for a healthy low carb, keto or paleo lifestyle? Leave a comment below and let me know what you want me to make next to be lower in carbs and sugar. Keto Berry Cobbler Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 45- 60 minutes Serves: 12 Filling Ingredients: 48 oz bag of organic frozen mixed berries 10 oz bag of organic frozen raspberries 1/2 cup lakanto golden or swerve granulated 1 tablespoon potato starch (optional) Juice from 1 lemon 1 tsp vanilla extract Topping Ingredients: 1 1/2 sticks melted unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut 3 cups pecans, roughly chopped 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup Lakanto golden or Swerve Instructions: Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes until juices are bubbling around […]
Keto CBD Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
I have been messing around with my ice cream maker recently and I got the idea to make keto chocolate chip ice cream with CBD oil. Cbd has no THC and that makes it legal as a supplement. This ice cream recipe is great sugar free and high fat way to relax after a long day. Many people report that they cbd helps them with workout recovery, anxiety and even chronic pain. This keto CBD chocolate chip ice cream recipe is very easy to make and if you have an ice cream machine. I added sugar free chocolate chips and there is even a peppermint chip variation. If you like Keto ice cream this will be in your main rotation of desserts and if you get a chance check out the awesome CBD from Sant Cruz Medicinals. I have been taking it for a while and it really helps me sleep and with my headaches. It is great to have in my natural medicine cabinet to support my wellness. I like the most potent one, the 5000 mg and I take 2 droppers full whenever I am feeling run down. I love my essential oils and I am always up to try more natural health supplements that won’t create issues later.

Keto CBD Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Ingredients: 4 egg yolks 2 cups heavy cream or canned coconut milk (order here) 1/2 cup Swerve or Lakanto (confectioners blend) (order here) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (sugar and gluten free) (order here) Santa Cruz Medicinals CDB Oil (5000 mg) 4 ml (optional) (order here) 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips ( I used these) Instructions: Make sure the bowl of your ice cream maker is very frozen for at least 48 hours before making this recipe. Prepare a large pot, such as a dutch oven, with hot water, about halfway full and place it over medium heat. In a large glass or stainless steel bowl, add the eggs, cream, sweetener, vanilla and mix well with a whisk. Put the bowl over the pot and stir continuously, using the whisk. When it starts to thicken and look more like thin pudding, remove from the heat. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it cool off for about an hour. Pour into your ice cream machine, add the CBD drops, if using, and chocolate chips, then follow manufactures instructions for churning. I use the Cuisinart model (order here) and I let it churn about 15-20 minutes until very thick, serve immediately and enjoy right away or transfer the ice cream to a glass container and freeze until serving. Mint chip variation: make it mint chip by adding a few drops […]
