No-Bake Low-Carb Desserts for Keeping Things Simple

If you don't even want to bother turning on your oven, you're in luck. These awesome no-bake low carb desserts couldn't get any easier!

Keto Pecan Cheesecake Bites

Are you a major cheesecake fan like we are, but don't have the hours it takes to make one? Toast, mix, roll, and chill- easy enough!

Ingredients:

Cheesecake Bite:

8 oz cream cheese

1 serving of Keto Meal Vanilla

2 tsp pumpkin spice

1 tbs stevia

Pecan mixture:

1 tbsp butter

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp pumpkin spice

1 tbsp stevia

Melt butter in a skillet on medium-low heat. Add chopped pecans to the pan once butter has melted and has begun bubbling. Stir and coat with butter as the pecans toast, then add stevia and stir continuously until incorporated.

Add cinnamon and pumpkin spice, stir until pecans are coated. Continue to stir until nuts are toasted.

Mix the cream cheese, Keto Meal, and stevia until smooth. Put your roasted pecans on a plate. Roll the Cheesecake Bite into a ball, then roll the bite around on the pecans. Let refrigerate for an hour and enjoy!

Frozen Keto Cookie Dough Niblets

Do you miss eating cookie dough straight out of the fridge? Don't act like you don't- we know the truth & are here to bring you our very own version of edible cookie dough!

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 1/2 servings) Keto Meal Vanilla

4 tbsp butter (softened)

1 oz cream cheese (softened)

1/4 cup stevia

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond flour

1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Grab your mixing bowl and start by adding your Keto Meal, almond flour, stevia, and vanilla extract. In a microwave-safe bowl, soften your butter and cream cheese (I do them together to save a bowl, but to eat his own!) in 15-second increments until soft.

Combine butter, cream cheese, and dry mixture until well incorporated (make sure the butter and cream cheese are room temperature). Delicately incorporate your chocolate chips (we don't want them to melt or break!)

On a parchment paper-lined tray, spoon out tablespoon sized bites until there is no more dough (if you sneak a bite, I won't tell!). Place in your freezer and let sit for 2-3 hours until hardened.

Super-Simple Keto Ice Cream

If you're craving a frosty low-carb dessert and don't want to shell out the big bucks for store-bought pints, you're in luck! This keto ice cream is as easy as it is delicious.

Ingredients:

2 cups of heavy cream

2 cans of coconut milk (15 oz. each)

¼ cup of confectioner's sugar replacement (we like Swerve)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Dash of kosher salt

Refrigerate the cans of coconut milk for at least three hours. Spoon the cream off the top, leaving the liquid in the can. Mix with a hand blender until creamy and set it aside.

Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy cream in a large bowl until peaks form. Beat in the vanilla and sugar replacement then fold in the whipped coconut.

Put the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze about 5 hours until it's solid. This is delicious served on top of warmed keto pumpkin pie bars.

Homemade Sugar-Free Nutella

It's no secret that people love Nutella hazelnut spread. In fact, people around the world consume over 800 million pounds of the stuff every year! Now with this recipe, you can enjoy the sweet goodness just like everybody else.

¾ cups of roasted and husked hazelnuts

2-3 cups of avocado oil or melted coconut oil

2 tablespoons of powdered low-carb sweetener (like Swerve)

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder

½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Blend the hazelnuts in a blender or high-powered food processor until they are finely ground. Add the oil and keep blending until they have the consistency of peanut butter. Add in the rest of the ingredients and enjoy!
