Low Carb Cookies & Cream Cake

Little, but mighty. 

I baked this cake the other day. I really, really liked it. It is small, but very filling. I baked mine in two layers, but you could make the mix in just one big cake. I really want to incorporate peanut butter with this cake in the future. I consider a slice of this cake a treat. It has about 7 carbs per slice and a ton of fat and protein.

Thick Keto Pizza Crust

This is my favourite low-carb pizza crust by far! It is not eggy like others and it is thick enough to carry flavour and support the toppings. 

I usually top my pizza with chicken, bacon and other meats. I have not added toppings into the nutrition considerations.

This crust is FILLING, I consider a quarter of the crust one serving. The nutritional information below is for the entire crust, no toppings. 

UPDATE TIPS TO MAKE THIS BETTER & EASIER: 
-take the bacon grease and add a teaspoon to a tablespoon to the crust mix, this will help everything mix together if the greasy is still hot
-mix the crust in a large measuring cup and then leave it for a few minutes on the preheated oven to melt everything together, this will make the cream cheese less chunky when you whisk it 

Ingredients

-4 Tablespoons Of Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese

-3 Eggs

-1/4 Cup Whipping Cream

-1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

-1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

-1/4 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning

-1 Cup Grated Cheese (I use Tex Mex or Marble)

Prep Work

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

-Grease pan and layer one cup of grated cheese on the greased pan. 

Procedure

-Beat cream cheese with eggs in a medium bowl. 

-Add whipping cream, grated parmesan cheese, italian spices and garlic to the first mixture one at a time. 

-Pour mixture over grated cheese lining the pan. 

-Bake for 10-12 minutes and then let cool. 

Your crust is now finished, now just add your favourite sauce and toppings and you will have  one of the best low-carb pizzas around. 

Top It Off

-Spread sauce on crust.

-Add toppings and cheese.

-Bake for 15 minutes. I find this varies by oven, keep an eye on your pizza and make the call when it bubbles.

-Let stand for 10 minutes. This will harden everything up and make it easier to eat, it also melts together further for a more flavourful pizza experience.
