This is for Easter dessert, and fresh out of the oven. It's my first stab at a low carb vanilla custard pie. I don't know how it tastes, but it smells great.

Looks great, Steve! What did you use for the crust?

Thanks! I used my favorite almond/coconut flour crust recipe.
Keto Pie Crust | Ruled Me

I've used this recipe for everything from pumpkin pie to quiche, and it's a winner. It's a little more dense and cookie-like than traditional crust, but is easy to work with and has a real nice flavor.

For this particular pie recipe, I added about a tablespoon of Swerve sweetener to the crust. I also decided to not pre-bake it and covered the crimped edges with foil. I think that ended up being a good call. I've had pies where the crust sometimes gets over-cooked.

Andy, they taste better than macaroons, really dense, chewy, YUMMY!
I can't go back to Costco for awhile, since we're moving and I need to keep my pantry to a minimum, for now ;)
But Andy, if you find these, do try them.

Thanks. They are on my Costco shopping list.
 
I love you, I hate you.

We went to Costco today and I had these on my list on your recommendation.

They are really, really good. They are also 100 calories EACH! I just are three along with my lunch. They were more caloric than the lunch.

BWAHAHAHA!
Really ONO (DELICIOUS) yeah?!
Stuff like this, I DO NOT look at the calories, it just spoils the groove ;):LOL:
 
Made this strawberry cake from Cooks' Country (paywall, you can find the recipe pasted on other sites, but I like sourcing to the content creator). I'm quite proud of the result.

Oh, those strawberries look so delicious!

I had 2oz of cream cheese left in the fridge tonight, so I added a tablespoon of sugar and now I'm just waiting for the cream cheese to come to room temp so I can mix it with the sugar. That's my dessert tonight. This is my favorite way of making a base for anything from chocolate cream cheese pie to pumpkin, but tonight I guess I'm just eating it as is.
