Guiltless Gluten Free Buche De Noel
Modified version of Buche de Noel recipe
For the egg white, I substitute confetti sugar with stevia. Use only 1/4 of the sugar amount in the recipe.
For the egg york, I substitute sugar with coconut sugar. Use only 75% of the sugar of the amount in the recipe.
For the coco cream, I substitute heavy cream with coconut cream plus 2 oz of melted butter.
The “snow” is using stevia.
I use organic lemon leaves from my garden for decoration.
Holiday Natural Fruit Pudding
Use a food processor to blend watermelon and mango separately. For other colors, try strawberry, pineapple, banana, or kiwi.
In a pot, add 1.5 teaspoons of agar agar powder to 1/2 cup of water. Cook at medium heat. Stir constantly until boil.
Then add two teaspoons of stevia.
Pull in 1.5 cup of the blended watermelon from above to the agar agar mixture. Stir well.
Pull into silicon/ceramic/pyrex cups. Let them cool before putting them in the fridge.
Repeat the same recipe but use blended mango or other colorful fruit.
Ready to serve when they are cold about 30 minutes.
Party Tiny Cup Cheesecakes
This is the same recipe as the Light & Fluffy Cheesecake below. But presentation is everything to impress your guests 🙂.
Instead of baking the cheesecake in the pyrex tray, use the tiny silicon cups. When the cheesecake is cooked and cooled, add a blackberry or raspberry on top as shown in the picture.
Light & Fluffy Cheesecake
Modified version of Williams Sonoma Cheesecake
Use the lighter cream cheese such as from Trader Joe’s.
Use only 3/4 sugar.
Use Xylitol which is great for your teeth and low GI.
Plus it has a nice taste unlike the bitterness in stevia.
Beat the eggs a bit longer to be fluffier.
