Macaroon Bites

I can't remember where I found this recipe. But it's simple, quick, and yummy!
The whey protein powder seems to make the macaroons more chewy. 8)

15 Total Carbs (mainly from coconut and trace from protein powder)

Ingredients:
                           
1 1/3 Cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1 TBSP Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 tsp Salt   
1 TBSP Xylitol
1 3/4 TBSP SF Maple Syrup
3/4 tsp Almond Extract
2 medium Egg Whites

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix ingredients together in a bowl adding each one while mixing in order shown.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased (or PAM sprayed) baking sheet.
These do not spread out so you can put them close together.
This will make 24 cookies from this recipe.

Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Edges of cookies will be lightly browned when ready.

Remove macaroons from cookie sheet immediately so they don't keep cooking.
Place on paper plates (or whatever) and allow to cool... Enjoy! ;D

And thank you for keeping Christ in Christmas! 8)

I just made Rena's FTS Eggnog. It's good! I was so glad to see that recipe. I was visiting a friend the other day and she was sipping on eggnog. I'm not a huge eggnog fan but seeing her drinking it made me want some. I checked the back of the eggnog carton and almost keeled over: 44 carbs per 8oz serving. NO WAY.

The FTS Eggnog recipe was perfect for me. Thanks Rena!

Cool -- I'm glad you liked it. I'm making another batch up tomorrow for Christmas.

UMPA -- I lost track of this thread (dorky me couldn't find it!), but could I add my SF Chocolate Peppermints to it? Or is it too late? I have them posted in the Desserts section.

“Bailey’s” Irish Cream
2 cups heavy cream - 0 carbs
1 cup Low carb sweetened condensed milk (recipe to follow) = 5.6 carbs or less (depends on if you need to use the whole recipe)
1 ¼ cups rye (Canadian whisky – not American whisky which is bourbon) = 0 carbs
2  tblsp. Hershey's or Walden Farm's sugar free chocolate syrup (0 if you use Walden Farm's)
2 tsp. instant coffee granules = 1
1 tsp. vanilla = .5
½ tsp. almond extract = 0
Put all ingredients in blender and mix thoroughly.  Pour into a bottle.  I have even decorated a bottle to take as a hostess gift.
Total carbs = less than 7 for the whole bottle.  (P.S.  recipe is to be shared with others, don't sit and drink the whole bottle by yourself, LOL!!)

"Sweetened" Condensed Milk
2.5 cups heavy cream (0 carbs)
6 egg yolks (.6 carbs per yolk = around 3.6 carbs)
6 tablespoons xylitol (0 carbs)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract = .5 carbs
Whisk heavy cream, egg yolks, vanilla, and xylitol. Cook over low heat, stirring until thick. Cool completely and store in non-metal.

With all of the leftover egg whites, I made a variation of Katary's Carb Free Meringue cookies but added peppermint extract and SF chocolate chips.

SUGAR-FREE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINTS

4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
3/4 cup Xylitol
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
sugar-free candy cane, crushed

Place sugar-free candy cane (or sugar-free Starlight mints) into a plastic baggie, and crush with a rolling pin or wooden spoon. In a double boiler, melt chocolate over medium heat until smooth. Stir in Xylitol and mix well. Add heavy whipping cream, and stir until chocolate is smooth. Remove from heat. Add peppermint extract to the mixture. Drop by teaspoon into mini baking cups. Top with crushed candy cane. Refrigerate two hours or until set. Keep refrigerated for best results. Makes about 22-24 candies.
