Here's a recipe to try for those people outside the first two weeks and can have coconut. This recipe came from Jennifer Eloff recipe that she posted on her blog, and was made courtesy of her. Jennifer is also the author of a number of GREAT low carb cookbooks. Here is a link to Jennifer's sites:

Here's a link to the original recipe:

I reduced and changed the sweetener amounts slightly to lower the total carbs and reduce the sweetness.

Ingredients:
8 oz Cream Cheese
1 1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup Granulated Splenda
1/4 cup Truvia (6 packets)
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 oz unsweetened dark chocolate, thinly sliced

1. Beat cream cheese thoroughtly in food processor.
2. Add coconut milk, mix well.
3. Add remaining dry ingredients, pulse until smooth and scrape the sides as needed.
4. Finely slice the dark chocolate, and sprinkle over top.
Chill or eat immediately.

Makes 5 servings.

Kent this looks awesome! I was just thinking of a "non-guilty" dessert to serve w/ Sunday dinner. Keep up the great work, we appreciate it!

[bowulf]

@angelabrandy Thanks -- the next bunch of recipes will be more savory, but I'll keep my creative juices flowing or simply eyes open for another "sweet" type recipe too. Have you tried the Creme Brulee with Buttery Pecan topping recipe yet? That is honestly still probably one of my favorites.

Sounds great - I think I will go give it a try....I have everything I need in my kitchen now.



[bowulf]

@lpenoli Let me know how it turns out for you...

just so you know, if you use LITE COCONUT MILK, it's only 1 carb per serving. I think it is the same brand you are using but in the green can. :)

@hyoonies1102 The one I used carbs were almost entirely from fiber from the coconut, so I wouldn't stress about them. The ingredients label was pretty much just coconut and water too, but thanks for the headsup on the alternative. I'll check it out next time I am in the store.

@bowulf Ok I think I'm gonna prepare that when my family comes to town. It sounds delish!!! Thanx!
