RECIPE THREAD!

My favourite dessert of all time is Jello cheesecake fluff.  Well it's really like a dense mousse.

Ingredients:

Sugar free Jello (any flavour you want!)  I love cherry.
Whipping cream
Cream cheese (1- 8oz container)
Vanilla extract

Make Jello with one cup of boiling water.  While it's still warm add cream cheese.  Mix it until it is smooth.  Place in fridge and let cool for about 30 minutes. 

While mixture is cooling, make whipped cream. Add vanilla to whipped cream  You want 2 cups of whipped cream. 

When the jello mixture is cool but not completely "set" carefully fold in the whipping cream.

Place back in fridge for an hour or so. 

You can add sweetener to the whipping cream if you desire.  I find the jello adds enough sweetener but to each their own.

One of the many great things about this recipe is that you can have so many different flavours. 

Here's Low Carb Cookies that I made today using the new Chocolate Whey Crisps that I got from vitacost. com. I ate 2 for breakfast and it was perfect.

Let me know what you think and if you come up with variations. I'm going to get some natural crisps and try things like pumpkin pie spices etc.

Waffle Recipie

I make this every weekend.  My children (13-19) do not even know that there is no flour.  I don't know where I got it from as the top of the page was cut off when I cut and paste it and I didn't know it.



Gluten-Free Waffles
6 eggs, separated
6 ounces of cream cheese
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 scoop vanilla protein powder*

Preheat waffle iron. Spray with non-stick coating (or oil-paint the plates with a pastry brush prior to heating).

In one bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). In a separate bowl, mix yolks with cream cheese and protein powder until smooth. Add whites mixture to the yolks. With a long wooden spoon or long, metal iced teaspoon, carefully make a sine wave through the mixtures to blend them carefully. Turn bowl and repeat sine wave (You're trying to just barely blend. More blending will naturally occur as you scoop to pour the batter).

Once the waffle iron is sufficiently heated, pour scant quarter-cup measuring cups with batter into the maker (don't overdo it, or overflow may occur). Allow waffles to cook sufficiently. Four-six minutes for the first waffles, minimally, should be observed since they seem to need more time. DO NOT OPEN the waffle iron until the first waffles have had a chance to cook. It seems that after the first waffles, all others require closer to 4 minutes per waffle on average.

Serve immediately, or you can freeze and toast later (on a low setting).

Can be served with fresh, whipped cream.

Makes 12-14 Belgian/rectangular waffles.

Let it cook and take the crust off the parchament paper and put it face down on the pizza pan

I topped this with 1/2 cup sugar free Ragu spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 4 oz cooked, diced chicken. I sprinkled about 3 or 4 tablespoons of parmasean cheese and some italian spices and put it under the broiler for about 5 minutes.
