I love gadgets and bought a strainer for making yoghurt cheese and it works wonderfully and the taste of the creamy cheese is bland but is nice. Have to leave it in the fridge to thicken once strained but not a problem.Instructions say it will last 5/7 days...will have to see, going to have some with smoked salmon tonight.

So I made some cream cheese pancakes, not sure where I got the recipie but next time I am going to leave the sweetener out.
2 oz cream cheese
2 eggs
1 packet stevia or any sweetener, - I only had agave nectar used 1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

Place all ingredients in a blender, (I only have a hand whisk- but worked) Blend until smooth, let it rest for 2 mins to allow the bubbles to settle - I left it in the fridge for 30 mins. Pour 1/4 batter into a hot frying pan, greased with butter or spray oil. Cook for 2 mins or until golden, turn and cook the other side until golden.
Recipie says approx 344 calories , 29g fat. 2.5g net carbs and 17g protein per batch of 4 pancakes. ( this is using the specified sweeteners )

Mary's Carrot Cake a la LCHF

Mary's Carrot Cake a la LCHF
This is a super tasty and delicious carrot cake. Divide the cake into ten slices at only 5 carbs each.

3 Eggs
3dl Almond Flour
1dl Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ginger
Vanilla essence/extract
2 tsp baking powder
2.5 dl finely grated Carrots
50g melted butter
sweetener - taste the mixture

Melt the butter, combine remaining ingredients and mix well, whisk in the melted butter.Baseline and grease a springform tin, pour the cake batter into the tin and bake on lower shelf in the oven at 175 degrees for 40 - 50 mins or until the cake is done (depends on oven and tin used)

Remove cake and cool, meanwhile prepare the frosting:

200g Cream cheese
50g unsalted butter
sweetener - taste the mixture
few drops of lime or lemon juice
Beat together cream cheese, butter and sweetener, add lime/lemon juice until you have the desired texture.
Spread on to the cooled cake.

This cake freezes really well, best left to defrost in the fridge overnight.

Forgot to say, if your tin is not leakproof its best to fully line it with greaseproof paper, then grease it before pouring in the batter.

EDITED: to adjust cooking time
Can anyone tell me what the dl means I've never come across this before

Just bought a nice book called “Cut the Carbs” by Tori Haschka at Costco but I’m sure you’ll be able to find it elsewhere, not tried anything out of it yet only got it today but it looks very good
