[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2354380, member: 475901"] Probably the simplest recipe I make is a low carb chocolate pudding with double cream, some 90% chocolate and a little sweetener such as truvia (stevia based). Whip the cream, stir in some melted chocolate, sweeten to taste, put in fridge for a couple of hours - serve with a few fresh raspberries. There are several low carb cake recipes around, just make sure to follow the recipe exactly if you have never made cake with ground almonds or coconut flour before - and yes you do need those extra eggs! The easiest recipes are probably lemon cakes, or chocolate cake. You can make chocolate covered marzipan - just mix ground almonds, sweetener and almond essence with a few drops of water, mould into balls and cover with a good quality dark chocolate. If you are providing a meal, choose a good cut of meat or fresh salmon for the main course, served with a variety of green veg and with either cauliflower rice or cauliflower mash? If you don't want to do cake just yet, real full fat greek yogurt is nice, mash in fresh raspberries or blueberries. You can even put some double cream on top. Don't worry about adding cream, oil, butter, etc - if she cuts down on carbs extra fats are needed and will not cause cholesterol issues. (Some research on rodents showed the worse thing for weight gain and bad cholesterol was mixing processed fats plus carbs, eg doughnuts and most junk foods, not fat on its own.) [/QUOTE]
