Vanilla Cheesecake Fat Bomb

1g Carb per Serving
15 min + 30m-1hr chill time | Easy
18 servings

Ingredients
9 oz of cream cheese (softened)
1 Tbsp of vanilla
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp of Keto friendly sugar

Instructions
1. In a mixer, blend at a medium to high speed, the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
2. When smooth, add a 1/3 cup of the heavy whipping cream to the mixer. Make sure is well incorporated.
3. Add in the rest of the heavy whipping cream and mix at a medium speed until you have stiff peaks like whipped cream.
4.For easy sharing, scoop the cheesecake fat bomb mixture in to cupcake liners
5. Set in the fridge for 30 min to 1 hour
6. Enjoy

Tip: Feel free to change the flavor. I did a recipe where I blended a couple strawberries and added it to the mixture. It did mess with the texture, so I had the freezer the fat bombs instead of setting them in the fridge like normal. I believe a different extract flavor would work well with this recipe as a replacement for a the vanilla extract, if you want to try something different.

Broccoli and Chicken Cheese Casserole

4g Carbs per serving
Cook Time: 40 min Medium
8 serving

Ingredients
28 oz of canned chicken or Rotisserie chicken
1 lb of broccoli, cut into florets
8 oz of cream cheese
1 1/4 of heavy cream
1 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of Salt
1/4 tsp of Pepper
1 cup of Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 390F
2. In a pan of water, over high heat, boil the broccoli florets until al dente. Drain and add to a mixing bowl
3. In a small pot,over low heat, add the cream cheese, heavy cream , and seasonings. Whisk until the sauce is smooth.
4. Add the chicken to the mixing bowl with the broccoli and then pour the sauce on top and mix well.
5. Pout the mixture into a casserole dish and top with the shredded cheese.
6. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes

Tip: Try adding 1 Tbsp of Dijon mustard to the sauce mixture, or 1/4 cup of fresh basil (chopped) to the chicken and broccoli mixture. For a little extra flavor. Also, if you decide to use can chicken, season your meat to your liking before mixing it with the broccoli and cheese sauce. If you want a little extra texture and heftiness- add cauliflower rice or serve with a bed of white rice (for non-ketoers).

Note: I have seen a recipe that used 3/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond instead of just heavy cream. Both ways are delicious.

6. Remove the pizza from the oven and top pizza with your favorite toppings and place back in the oven for 5-8 minutes.

I used Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce. It only contains 3 Carbs per 1/2 cup.
