PUMPKIN GINGER SPICE ICE BOX CAKE
My cousin hosted Thanksgiving this year so my only task was to make dessert. Instead of doing some sort of pie, I wanted to try something different. Pumpkin is the preferred flavour for desserts this time of year, so I made an icebox cake. It’s …
TOASTED MARSHMALLOW ICE CREAM
The first time I had toasted marshmallow ice cream was from Gregg’s in Toronto. It instantly became my favourite ice cream. I made this quick no-churn recipe and it is the best toasted marshmallow ice cream I’ve had. It’s smooth and creamy. The texture is …

Other than sugar, cheesecake has lots of keto friendly ingredients. The eggs, butter, and cheese are all staples of a low carb diet. Mix in a little sweetener, and you have an everyday dessert. This cheesecake is sweet with hints of vanilla, orange, and almond. …
