Hi Everybody,
It's that time of year where the temptation to stray from the eating program is pretty strong. I started to feel a bit sorry for myself but instead put on my thinking cap and decided to come up with some type of easy dessert I could enjoy over the holidays without creating symptoms.
So...voila! I present to you...the super easy...
Mini Cheesecake Dessert Cups
One carton of Kite Hill cream cheese
One carton of Kite Hill yogurt
One can (13.33 ounces) of Thai Kitchen coconut milk
Refrigerate the can of coconut milk for several hours. By the way...it's important to get this brand to make the net carb come out low. If you can't find it in your store (sometimes it's with the Asian foods), then it can be ordered off of Amazon.
Open the can of chilled coconut milk and discard the liquid (because there are a lot of carbs and calories in the liquid). Put the solid part in a large mixing bowl along with the entire cartons of Kite Hill cream cheese and yogurt. These two products are not dairy...they're made from almonds. They're kind of pricey and I've only found the cream cheese at Whole Foods and the yogurt at Sprouts, but they are totally worth it in terms of taste.
Using a hand mixer, mix until well blended and then add Sweet Drops stevia to taste. Mix well.
This makes eight small servings, and I just used little jars to make sure I divided it into equal servings. I'm trying to lose weight, so small servings are a must for me right now...and the little jars helped.
Sprinkle a little chocolate whey protein powder over each serving...put the lids on...and store in fridge.
They are really tasty...and although small...they are filling because of the fat content.
If you divide into eight servings, and use the products mentioned above, each serving is:
257 calories
3 net carbs
Enjoy!
Love,
