Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream cheese frosting is easy to convert to sugar free. This recipe is rich and creamy.

Pumpkin Pound Cake

A little too pumpkin-y for my taste. After storing in the fridge it became quite soggy. Next time I might increase the bake time to the maximum and increase the pumpkin pie spice and almond flour.

Spaghetti Squash

Almond Flour Biscuits

These biscuits are buttery melt-in-your mouth good. They are perfect with raspberry jam — or sugar free berry syrup.

Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Pretty good peanut butter cheesecake: not too peanut-buttery. Crust could use some tweaks as it all melts to the bottom of the pan and is quite crumbly.

Lemon Meringue Ice Cream Sandwich

These were a complete disaster: they turned out as salty, soggy, fragile cookies. The “ice cream” was fine but the consistency was wrong: too icy. At only .6 carbs per cookie these were promising, but are too finicky for my baking skills.
