THM S Low Carb Coffee Creamer

First you need to make sweet condensed milk below

P1000032

2 cans coconut milk

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered swerve

3 tablespoons butter (3 tablespoon coconut oil mixed with 1/2 tsp butter extract for vegetarian)

1/3 cup heavy cream( omit if you have dairy restrictions)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional) Recipe Here

1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Method 1 Whisk all ingredients except vanilla together in heavy bottomed pot on stove making sure to dissolve the swerve and xanthan gum. When steam rises transfer to crock pot.

Stir about every 10-15 minutes to prevent burning at about the 3 hour mark the condensed milk shoul be reduced in half from the original amount.

Stir in vanilla ( optional) and pour into clean glass jar and store in refrigerator.

Method 2

Whisk all ingredients except vanilla together directly in the crock pot turned on to high temperature making sure to dissolve the swerve and xanthan gum.

Stir about every 10-15 minutes to prevent burning at about the 3 hour mark the condensed milk shoul be reduced in half from the original amount.

Stir in vanilla ( optional) and pour into clean glass jar and store in refrigerator.

*Note I did not add vanilla but did stir in 4 squirts of skinny girls stevia for added sweetener layer.

It is AWESOME! This recipe made 3 pint size canning jars. 1 went in my fridge and 2 went into the freezer.

THM Pear Butter

Yum

PEAR BUTTER

This is what happens when my FIL tells me he has pears that need to be picked. I make pear butter!

What is pear butter you ask?

Apple butter without the Apples! LOL

Taste just like homemade Apple butter

20160902_072508

You can make this recipe and can it to put into the pantry or put in jars and freeze.

I doubled the recipe and put in canning jars in a water bath

5 1/2 pounds peeled pears
1-1/2 cups gentle sweet
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves *Optional my family does not like cloves so I do not add them

DIRECTIONS

Place pears in slow cooker layering sugar between each layer.
Add rest of ingredients on top and pack them down as well as you can.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
Reduce heat to low. Open and give it a stir. Keep covered and cook 8 hours or until thick and dark brown, stirring occasionally. (You can do this overnight and can in the morning).
Uncover and cook for the last hour on low.
If a smoother apple butter is desired, you may puree in blender or food mill.
Place in sterile jars with lids and process for 10 minutes in hot water bath or you can freeze.

I had a lot of feedback on my previous recipe using skinny chocolate for chocolate chips with regards to chips melting when taking them out of the molds. after readers suggestions and trial and error I think this is a much better version of the sugar free chocolate chips that is still very economical.

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil
Viva Labs The Finest Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 16 Ounce
1/2 bar baking chocolate
Baker’s Unsweetened Baking Chocolate Bar, 4 Oz
1/4 Cup cocoa powder
Ghirardelli Chocolate Unsweetened Cocoa Pouch, 8 Ounce
5 tbsp powdered swerve
Swerve Sweetener, Confectioners, 16 Ounce

Method

whisk 1/4 Cup cocoa powder and 5 tbsp powdered swerve together in a bowl
Melt 1/2 cup coconut oil in sauce pan with 1/2 bar baking chocolate stirring well to keep from burning
Pour melted chocolate into powdered cocoa swerve mixture and whisk mixture well to dissolve the powder.
Set your mold on a lined ( to keep down mess ) baking sheet ( one that will fit in your freezer) this is optional but makes it easier to put the molds into the freezer.
Pour over chocolate chip molds and spread out with spatula. freeze in freezer until firm and pop out and store in plastic bag in freezer .
