Almond Flour Shortbreads

Almond Flour Shortbreads

INGREDIENTS

1c Almond Flour
3T Soft Butter
3T Splenda
1/2t Vanilla Extract
Dash of Salt

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line baking sheet with Silpat or use a non-stick baking pan.  

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  I used melted butter instead of soft butter which worked pretty well.  Use a mixer to combine all ingredients well.  Mine did not form a dough but mixed well into small pebbles in the bowl.  

Scoop by the tablespoonfuls.  I scooped into my hands then pressed the dough together into a cookie shape.  I also tried pressing the dough into the tablespoon measure and just using that shape which was fine too.

Bake for 10 minutes.  Let cookies cool completely on the tray to avoid them crumbling.

The cookies are delicate but completely delicious!

Jello Fluff

I found this recipe a few places and ultimately didn't follow any one specifically when I made my batch.  I've seen a few pictures of this recipe and none look like what I came up with.  My photo is of just the top of the jello, the entire thing is the same.  It's very airy like jelled foam.  It's fun - like Jello!


Jello Fluff

INGREDIENTS
  • One small package any flavor sugar free Jello
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
  • 4 oz cream cheese
DIRECTIONS

In one bowl beat cream cheese until creamy.  In a separate bowl dissolve the package of Jello in one cup boiling water.  Stir to completely dissolve Jello for several minutes.  Add ice cubes and continue to stir.  The goal is for the Jello mixture to be chilled so if the ice cubes melt - add more until there are some that do not melt.  Remove partial cubes and discard.  Add about 2-3 tablespoons of Jello to the bowl with the cream cheese and mix together.  Once that is combined, pour the cream cheese Jello mixture into the bowl with just Jello and thoroughly mix for several minutes to completely combine.

I poured my mixture into 4 containers for 4 servings from this recipe.  There are no carbs with this recipe and it makes a great sweet treat!
