Low Carb Baking

[New-journey]

Do NJ...they are good...although a bit moreish...I've eaten three so far be careful😉

If there are any left, I am on my way round! Ok, will buy the ingredients tomorrow.

Cheesecakes are really easy. It's the baking them that you have to be careful. So easy to over bake them. I don't know what recipe you use, @Benny G, but my one has a base made of ground almonds, ground linseed, sweetener & butter, 2 x 250g tubs of full fat cream cheese, vanilla essence, lemon essence & sweetener. This makes a basic cheescake but cocoa/cacao powder can be added for a choccy one, or just berries.

If you were nearer I'd put the kettle on...get the best cups out...maybe next time...but let me know how you get on tomorrow...they are so easy...the hardest part is limiting yourself to just one (or possibly two)...good luck.

I can see that will be difficult! Just remembered I have blood test in morning so will buy eggs on the way back, will be time to celebrate!

Do that NJ...I'm off to make some full sized burger buns...determined I'm going to have a 'proper' cheeseburger this evening...and I can make some for the girls when they arrive next week...enjoy them.

Oh Lucy...I'm torn now...my intention was to have a decent cheeseburger with a low carb bun...but...I have some sausages in the fridge...maybe I'll do a sausage toad instead.

Now onto California flatbread...it can be used as a wrap...a large pancake or as a simple flatbread covered with your favourite toppings (a good alternative to pizza)...a glimpse for those of you who might want to give them a try.

I've made some Blueberry muffins...an experiment with some mini ones first...those are done & taste good...the texture is great...possibly too many blueberries in it...but what the hell...the next full batch of large muffins is a must for tomorrow...a little glimpse of while you're waiting for those.

I’m losing track of all of these recipes: any chance you could upload the toad in hole batter, bread, rolls etc into the recipe folder so I can easily refer back to them please?🙂

All done Sally.

Finally finished putting my trifle together. Thanks @Mark Parrott, I had a bit of trouble with the sponge level, but was OK. The custard was funny, a bit too much heat meant it wanted to become an omelette. I put the lumpy custard in the blender with a bit more cream and it smoothed out nicely. I put some chocolate powder and coconut into the top layer of cream.
Result is a low carb calorie bomb, pow!

Benny it looks great and it's huge so plenty to share...your custard rescue made me laugh...innovative I'd never have thought of that...how was it...any left?

 

[Mark Parrott]

Fantastic result, Benny. Looks amazing. Yes, lumpy custard can be cured with a blender.🙂

I never knew that...never thought of that...and certainly will remember it...not sure about this low carb baking this morning Mark...I've had to do a lot of testing all in the name of quality control😉...worried about doing the trifle...not sure how long that would last.

 

[Sally W]

All done Sally.

Ah thank you! Much easier to follow and I’m trying toad in the hole this week 🙂

It's lethal. Just a reminder.

Mark...the blueberry muffins have been finished...I had the last two for breakfast...I'm not making anymore until the girls are here...I may eat them too...but we have to taste it all...right?😉

Good Sally you'll enjoy it...we're having that for lunch today.
