Keto (low carb) Dessert

Two of my favorite recipes, I forgot I had these! :-)
 
MOCK CHOCOLATE DANISH
(this is so versatile. You can leave out the cocoa, nuts, and protein powder and just add vanilla and it is still very good) My timing for my micro is different for this. I use 20 seconds to melt and 45 seconds to cook (actual time may vary per individual microwave, first few times you have to experiment to get the timing with your microwave just right)....you want it like custard not scrambled eggs! LOL)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (or a heaping table spoon)
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 Splenda packets
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 3 tablespoons protein whey powder or ground almonds or both
How to Prepare:
Put cream cheese in microwave for 30 seconds. Then put in all the rest. Stir with a whisk until well blended. Put in microwave for 1 minute. This is like chocolate sponge pudding with thick custard in the middle!


STOVE TOP CUSTARD
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (35% is best but it works with 10% as well)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Prepare:
Mix together eggs, heavy cream and nutmeg. Melt butter in small pan of stove top. Pour egg mixture into hot butter- stir till done. Sprinkle with a little more nutmeg. I like mine with a few teaspoons of milk- like a hot cereal. Yields 1 serving.

This makes a rich, warm, sweet mock custard that is heavenly. Does NOT taste like eggs! :-)
