Low-carb Fudgesicles from thomas62@... on Yahoogroups' Lowcarb Living List
Make one box Jello Sugar Free chocolate fudge pudding with 2 cups Half and Half. Total carbs are 48. Divide among 10 popcicle molds and freeze. 5 carbs per serving. I used the Tupperware molds which are sort of small...but just right. Tastes better than fudgesicles from the store!

Place all ingredients into a glass gallon jar and stir gently. Cover and
allow to stand in a cool, dark place for 3 weeks.
Strain and filter. This is the most time-consuming part but it is important
for a beautiful jewel-like liqueur. First, strain through a regular kitchen
strainer to remove the solids. Then pass through a jelly bag or cheesecloth.
Next, use a gold coffee filter, if available. If not available, filter
through the jelly bag or cheesecloth again.
Finally, filter through coffee filter paper. This will take the longest
amount of time, but will be hastened if you used the previous filtration
methods.
Be patient and let it drip. It will take over a full day to filter all of
this.
Pour final product into bottles or decanters.
Yield: 2 quarts. It will last indefinitely.
Crust:
1 cup Atkins Bake Mix
1 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup Splenda
Put these 3 things in a food processor and process in pulses until crumbly. Press into a 9X13X2 cake pan that has been sprayed with Pam.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until just browned. Let cool while you prepare the filling.
Filling:
3 eggs
1/2 cup Splenda (i found this not sweer enough, would add more)
4 tablespoons lemon juice
Beat these 3 ingredients together well. Pour over slightly cooled crust and put back in oven for 20 minutes or until set (depends on your oven - may take as long as 30 - watch carefully). This is not as thick as traditional lemon bars.
Topping:
1 tablespoon Splenda
3 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Blend and drizzle over cooled bars.
Makes approximately 24 3"x1 1/2" bars
2 tsp instant minced onion
1 tsp salt 1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp not/Starch
1/2 tsp crushed red peppers
1/2 tsp instant minced garlic
1/4 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Combine above ingredients in a small bowl or container and set aside.
To prepare meat: 1 lb. ground beef
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
Brown ground beef and drain off fat. Add water and dry seasoning mixture. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 20-25 minutes. If mixture gets too thick before cooking is complete, add a small amount of water to thin. Serve over salad, as dip with pork rinds, or on soft or hard taco shells made from protein powder crepes, topped with your favorite vegetables and sauce

mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Stir
in vanilla. Chill mixture 4 hours.
4. Pour mixture into ice cream maker. Process according to manufacturer's
directions. About 5 minutes before ice cream is finished, add the chopped
bars.
For the deepest chocolate flavor and richest color, use Dutch unsweetened
cocoa powder.
3/4 cup Splenda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon onion juice
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)

Mix coconut milk, ice cubes and heavy cream in blender until ice is crushed well. Add remainder of ingredients and enjoy this tropical creamy treat! Serves 1. 4-5 grams per serving (depending on Protein powder used.) (Note from Rani: the new diet V-8 Splash in the orange/mango flavor has 3 gm for a one-cup serving, would do very nicely in this recipe)
This chili dip doesn't have beans in it. But it's good. I converted it for a friend of mine who just HAD to have her Mexican dip with pork rinds. :)
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 avocado, if desired
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup onion, finely diced

1 8-ounce package shredded Cheddar-Jack or Mexican cheese blend
1/2 cup sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, if desired
1/2 cup sliced black olives, if desired
Allow cream cheese to soften to room temperature.
Meanwhile, make chili: brown ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Add chili powder and cumin, mixing well. Add tomato sauce, Splenda, and salt. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Cool in refrigerator until room temperature or cooler.
With electric mixer, blend cream cheese and cream until light and fluffy. Spread in the bottom of an 8" square glass pan. If using avocado, slice thinly and lay slices on top of cream cheese layer. Spread cooled chili over cream cheese layer. Sprinkle cheese on top; garnish with jalapenos and olives if desired. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve.
Serve with Keto Chips, pork rinds, or veggies for dipping.

2 Tablespoons sour cream
6 packets of Sweet N Low or other low carb sweetener
Cinnamon
MIX PROTEIN POWDER, EGG, SOUR CREAM, 1/4 TSP CINNAMON, 3 PACKETS SWEETENER AND HALF A CUP OF WATER IN A BOWL.

DEPENDS ON HOW DENSE THE PROTEIN POWDER IS.
FOR A BALL IN YOUR HAND THE SIZE OF A LARGE EGG AND FLATTEN IT SLIGHTLY.
FRY IN HOT OIL UNTIL DARK GOLDEN BROWN.
DRAIN ON PAPER TOWELS.
WHEN COOLED SLIGHTLY, PUT IN A LARGE PLASTIC BAGGIE WITH 1/2 TSP CINNAMON AND 3 PACKETS OF SWEETENER. SHAKE TO DUST THE DONUTS. THESE ARE BEST WHEN STILL WARM BUT STILL VERY GOOD WHEN COLD.

2 Carbs per Serving*
Makes 6 Muffins (3.8 Carbs per Serving Less Fiber)
Ingredients:
Vegetable Oil Spray
1 cup plus 1 Tbs. Atkins (Soy) Baking mix
1 Tbs. Wheat Bran
1/2 Tbs. Banana extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup club soda
1/3 cup each Splenda 1/3 cup Sugar Twin Brown Sugar Substitute
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Method:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Spray the six count muffin pan heavily with the vegetable oil spray. Mix together 1 Tbs. each of Baking mix and wheat bran and sprinkle over the sprayed muffin pan, coating each cup well. This will prevent sticking. Mix the remaining ingredients by hand with a wire whip until blended. Divide the mixture equally into the six count muffin pan. (An ice cream scoop is great for this!)
Bake for approx. 20 to 25 minutes .
To test if done:
They should be Browned and when a wooden toothpick is inserted in the center, it should come out clean.
NOTES : Barbara's Notes: Here's a dense, fudgy, moist brownie that I
converted from a regular recipe. These are TNT and are a hit every place I
take them, with low carbers and others alike. I've made them with all
maltitol, maltitol and Splenda, and SugarSlim. All turn out well as long as
you use a sweetener that's stable in heat. *You can also make these with
oat flour. They're just as good, and it will make a good substitute if
almond flour is difficult to find.
Melissa/Loginasme's notes: Mine did not turn out fudgy at all, but were
quite good if a little crumbly. Perhaps might try an additional egg or more
liquid. My version is reflected here; original called for 1 cup Splenda
granular, and I would like to try it w/all Splenda to compare. Any
combinations of sweeteners would probably work.

1 cup butter (note: I think it's better with 1 stick butter and 4 oz cream cheese)
1 cup splenda (or equivalent in liquid Splenda)
5 eggs
2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
(I also sometimes add 1 tsp almond extract, or some grated lemon zest)
Cream butter and splenda well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after
each. Mix flour with baking powder and add to egg mixture a little at a
time while beating. Add lemon & vanilla extracts.
Pour into greased 9" cake pan and bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes.
(You can also bake it in a loaf pan, or double it and make it in a Bundt pan - bake for an extra 15 minutes.)
I’ve got the whole cake as 47 carbs. I can easily get 8 large slices from a 9" cake, which puts it at 5.8 carbs each. If you’re careful you can get 12 slices for only 3.9 carbs a slice!
1 bag fresh spinach, washed and chopped fine (9 ounces)
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons cream cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon heavy cream
4 ounces shredded cheddar or Monterey jack
Salt and pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a medium pot; add the cream
cheese. Stil until very soft. Add the spinach and cook until wilted and
coated with the cream cheese. Add the cream, cheddar, and salt and pepper. Gently stir until the cheese melts. Makes 4-6 servings (4 servings - 3.5 carb each) (6 servings - 2.5 carbs each)
http://www.atkins.com/ Atkins Phases 2, 3, & 4 only You can make this delicious, easy homemade relish up to three days ahead, but add the walnuts an hour before serving.
1 small navel orange
1 bag (12 ounces) fresh cranberries, rinsed 3/4 cup granular sugar substitute 1/2 cup chopped walnuts metric
1. Grate orange; set orange rind aside. With a small sharp knife, peel off orange pith (the white part underneath the rind) and inner white membranes between orange segments. Chop orange into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Place cranberries, 3 tablespoons water, orange rind and sugar substitute in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop open. Remove from heat; transfer to a bowl.
3. Mix in orange pieces and walnuts. Chill one hour for flavors to blend.
If you want to reduce the carb count by 2 grams per portion, omit the orange and omit the walnuts if you are in the first two weeks of Induction.
Stuffing
in large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add scallions and cook lightly. Stir in mushrooms, oregano, salt
and pepper. Cook, stirring about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Trim fat from chops, and make a pocket in each. Spoon stuffing in.
Brush chops with Worcestershire. Season with a little salt and pepper. Grill on uncovered grill about 15 minutes,
or use your George Foreman indoor grill for about 10 minutes.

2/3 cups grated parmesan cheese -- (canned will work)
1/4 cup unprocessed wheat bran
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons pepper
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 egg -- beaten
2 pounds catfish fillets
1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup sliced almonds -- optional
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a wide bowl or on plate, combine cheese, bran, salt, pepper, and paprika.
In another bowl, combine beaten egg and cream.
Dip fillets into egg mixture to coat, then dredge thoroughly in cheese
mixture.
Arrange fillets on baking sheet or 13x9x2 inch baking dish that has been
lightly sprayed with butter flavor spray or lightly greased. Drizzle melted
butter over fillets and sprinkle almonds (if used) on top.
NOTES : My changes: original recipe used flour instead of wheat bran and
milk instead of cream. Doubled pepper/paprika amounts.
My notes: this batter method would work very well on other fish or
chicken/pork! Can subsitute other spices depending on meat being used and
personal taste. Crushed pork rinds or low-carb bread crumbs might also be an
option instead of wheat bran.
