Keto Potato Soup

Low Carb Potato SoupLow Carb Potato SoupLow Carb Potato SoupKeto Potato Soup.  Betcha think this is going to be another one of those “cauliflower as potatoes” soups and you would be so wrong. Keto potato soup is made with daikon radish and for good reason.  Daikon radish has almost no flavor of its own but will take the flavors and shapes of many other things, with potatoes at the head of the list.  In the low carb and diabetic worlds most people seem to be looking for really good low carb substitutions for potatoes, rice, sugar, and wheat and the daikon radish is it for potatoes.  Its benefits are many:  It doesn’t change color when exposed to air, you can eat it raw in crudités, you can grate it for a salad and chunk it for potato salad etc. Here is Warm Daikon Radish German Potato Salad, Beef Rouladen, and here’s a Daikon Radish Dill Pickle Egg Potato Salad

Keto Guacamole

Leave a reply

Low Carb GuacamoleLow Carb GuacamoleLow Carb GuacamoleKeto Guacamole. I have long wanted to make this post and it seemed kind of dumb with only 4 measly ingredients.  There are probably hundreds of recipes for guacamole on the internet and what would make my keto carb guacamore anything special? Actually, I think there are two thing that set mine apart.  That it tastes the way should.  I have always though of guacamole as a side salad/condiment and not necessarily a dip.  Do I use it as such? Yes I do, and I also use it to go with other things like Cheese Tortilla Fajitas, Mexican Cheese Taco Salad, or Fish Tostadas On Cheese Crisps. The second thing that sets mine apart is the creaminess of the avocado itself. Yeah, it has the traditional green onions and diced tomatoes but the avocado is as smooth as a baby’s butt which gives the mouth feel the consistency of soft butter. How do I get the avocado to that consistency?  With an immersion blender plain and simple.  No smashing with a fork or potato masher which will not give you much of anything but chunky and no processor to clean.

I don’t use any extraneous ingredients in keto guacamole;  just avocado, green onions, tomatoes, & salt.  It isn’t suppose to blast you with heat or flavors that don’t go together, it is a palate cleanser and cooling agent after eating spicier foods. How often do I make guacamole?  More than I like to think about which is probably once every 1-2 weeks. And the good news? It’s healthy.

  4. With your immersion blender push down into the avocado and pulse. Continue the up and down until all chunks have been drawn down and thru the head of the blender.
  5. Turn off blender and try to get as much mashed avocado out of it as possible.
  6. Sprinkle in salt, add onions and tomatoes and with a large spoon, blend until mixed.

Keto Korean Ginger BBQ Sauce

Keto Korean Ginger BBQ SauceKeto Korean Ginger BBQ SauceKeto Korean Ginger BBQ SauceLow Carb Korean Ginger BBQ SauceKeto Korean Ginger BBQ Sauce. This sauce was first featured as Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger Sauce but it is so good I ate it the following night with a beef tenderloin and a little steamed Bok Choy and the next night with plain old sprouts as a salad.  Seems this stuff is so terrific I can’t stop eating it.  I’m betting Keto Korean Ginger BBQ Sauce will become staple in my house to put on lots more things…etc. etc. etc.  The rack of lamb was so good I just decided to make this a stand-alone recipe.  Hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients
  1. ⅓ C Finely Cut Green Onion Tops

  4. 3 T Minced Cilantro
  5. 3 T Oyster Sauce
  6. 2 T Tamari

  8. 2-3 T Allulose*** (Or To Taste)
  9. 2 t Crushed Garlic***
  10. 2 t Powdered Ginger
  11. Pinch Red Pepper Flakes + More If Heat Is Wanted
Instructions
  1. In small saucepan combine all ingredients and heat gently for about 5-8 minutes or until thickened just a little.
  2. It's now ready to serve with anything hot and if you want to use it as a dressing for a salad refrigerate for at least several hours.

Notes
  1. You can either serve sauce directly on meat or vegetables or in a small condiment dish to the side. A little goes a long way.
  2. The green onions and red peppers in the second picture are things I always have and they were so good with the lamb I repeated myself with the steak. They are certainly not called for every time you use the sauce.
  3. If you want this a bit spicier add a bit more red pepper flakes to taste.

Keto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut SauceLow Carb Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut SauceKeto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce.  I live down and around the corner from a terrific Thai restaurant which allows me to bring my own peanut sauce to eat their salad with because I am diabetic.  They don’t speak much English and they think I’m crazy but never-the-less accommodate me which allows me to go out to dinner for Thai food with no guilt once in a while.

Thais eat what I consider a very sweet life through their food and yet their Type II diabetes rate is 1⁄3  that of the United States.  This is more than likely due to the mostly living in rural areas with the absence of American Junk Food.  Even in the larger cities many people go to the outdoor markets to get their food for the day and yes, they do sugar their foods but in relatively smaller quantities and make no mistake, their rates of obesity are rising as more people pack into the larger cities and eat more of our SAD diet.  They are now ranked third highest in the Asian-Pacific countries with of course Bangkok leading the way.

I have no idea what happened to this recipe post but it disappeared and is apparently gone forever. I am re-posting it but it is listed as a link in any number of places and the only true place is here and in the Sauces Category until I can find and change them all which may be a month of Sundays at the rate I go.  So sorry for that and my apologies because I have zero idea how it happened.  I still have my pictures which is at least good and I have zero idea what I had written so this is a complete do-over. What follows is only my take on things but we don’t need to worry about any sugars in this as it is sugar-free.  This really is a keto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce and I also have it listed as such with the Thai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut Sauce and Thai Chicken. Hopefully we know that peanut sauce is wonderful with a chicken or beef satay and can also be used to dip vegetables into.

Low Carb Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger SauceLow Carb Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger SauceLow Carb Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger SauceLow Carb Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger SauceLow Carb Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger Sauce.  In my humble opinion this sauce is one of the best on the website.  That I did it with a rack of lamb seems almost immaterial. It is going to be good on a steak and the fourth pic is with beef tenderloin, or a pork tenderloin. It is just thick enough to stick to a chunk of meat and just thin enough to drizzle on vegetables.  I am calling it Korean Ginger Sauce because it has or Allulose in it, which is a paleo, zero-carb, zero-calorie sweetener.  When push comes to shove it has become hands-down the best and my favorite diabetic sweetener. It is not super spicy like most Korean food so add more heat to your liking.

Once you have made and eaten Low Carb Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger Sauce you will come up with lots of other ways to use it and the sauce should stand alone as its own recipe. Korean foods are well known for their colors and this had colors alright, lots and lots of bold beautiful colors.

Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger Sauce
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Rack Of Lamb-8 Ribs-Should be about 1¼-1½ Lbs
  2. ⅓ C Finely Cut Scallions
  3. ¼ C Olive Oil
  4. ¼ C Minced Shallots
  5. 3 T Minced Cilantro
  6. 3 T Oyster Sauce
  7. 2 T Tamari
  8. 2 t Crushed Garlic
  9. 2 T Water
  10. 2-2½ T Allulose*** (Or More To Taste)
  11. 2 t Powdered Ginger
  12. Steamed Bok Choy (Optional But A Perfect Accompaniment & Spinach May Also Work Well)
  13. ¼ C Julienned Red Peppers to Garnish (Optional)
  14. ¼ C Additional Longer Cut Green Onions (Optional)
Instructions
  1. In small saucepan combine all ingredients except lamb and Bok Choy (if using) mixing well. As your lamb is cooking and just before serving, heat gently for about 5 minutes.
  2. Cooking the rack of lamb and this is how I do it. First, make sure it is at room temperature. I take mine out of refrigerator at least 3 hours to make sure and I only do a half rack at a time. The last thing you want is a cold lamb rack going into a hot oven. You may think it’s done but it could end up really rare in the center. While I eat my lamb very rare, not everyone does so, decide how you want to cook it and always use room temperature meat.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°
  4. Sear rack in hot pan fat side down until fat is dark brown. Turn and sear the other side. Since the bones are curved it will get the opposite end too. Cook to desired doneness. I do 10 minutes for rare and it only takes several more minutes to get to well-done and not more than 16-18 minutes.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes to distribute the juices and cut into 8 chops.
  6. Serve the lamb chops around the Bok choy and garnish with additional scallions and bell pepper.
  7. Nap each chop with the sauce or for company, divide and serve sauce in small dishes to the side.
  8. If using Bok choy steam 6-8 minutes or until stems are tender.
  9. 4 Servings Without Optionals

  12. 456 Calories, 37.7 Protein, 32.1g Fat, 5.1g Carbs,1.3g Fiber, 3.8g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. You can either serve sauce directly on the meat or in a small condiment dish to the side.
  2. I had Bok Choy in the fridge so I used it and um, it was the right choice. You should have plenty of sauce to drizzle on it too.
  3. Nutritionals include everything but the optional items and if you were to add all of them you I have given them too and they don’t add much.

Low Carb Stir Fried Snow Peas

Leave a reply

Low Carb Stir Fried Snow PeasLow Carb Stir Fried Snow PeasLow Carb Stir Fried Snow PeasLow Carb Stir Fried Snow PeasLow Carb Stir Fried Snow Peas.  Super, super easy peazy. I didn’t decide to make this recipe, I was just looking for something to go with my Thai sausages and Asian Oyster Sauce. I had the peas in the fridge and just grabbed some, along with a few pine nuts I had in my freezer and went with the flow.  I think one of the biggest misconceptions about snow peas is they are so easily confused with snap peas or (sugar) snap peas. Fresh snow peas should be small and very flat whereas snap peas actually have small peas inside them and…not to be confused with green peas which to my mind are pretty high carby.

Peas, peas, peas, peas.  I say eat the lower carb ones and eat the ones you like.  Me, I just happen to love snow peas because you can do more things with them and in many cases they can be a part of a crudité.  They do have invisible strings on the sides of them and if they drive you nuts then they are easy to pull off.  I find if I am able to get the smaller snow peas the strings just kind of go away in your mouth and are not to be noticed-especially when cooked.  I am now going to an Asian market to buy most of my veggies and the quality is so much better than what’s available in a regular grocery it’s not even funny.  But I’ll tell you what is funny.  Have you ever listened to an angry Asian woman?  You do not need to understand the language to know they are angry about one of two things. Either the price or the quality and it can get to both. Probably best to carry really good produce at good prices.  I am sure we sound the same way to them and we have all done it at one time or another but when it is in a language you don’t understand…it magnifies.

Low Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese Pinwheels

Leave a reply

Low Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese PinwheelsLow Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese PinwheelsLow Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese PinwheelsLow Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese Pinwheels. These pinwheels are good just plain but really shine with the addition of a pinch of Italian Dipping Oil ingredients. which are listed in the recipe.  These are easy to make, hard to stop eating, and that’s OK because they are so low carb and…they make a terrific snack for kids too. I suspect they might be better done on a sheet pan lined with a Silpat which is what I actually rolled the log on but Duh, it didn’t occur to me until after I had them in a 10″x10″ pan so I just went with the original plan so, you make that own call on that.  As I said these are very easy to make even though the ingredients list may look a little daunting so, at least give ’em a try.  If you have made either the Carbalose Bread or the Italian Parmesan Garlic Knots recipes, you will know what I am saying.

  3. 2 T Coconut Flour
  4. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  5. ½ t Salt
  6. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  7. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  8. ½ t Dry Italian Dipping Ingredients (Optional)
  9. ½ C +2 T Warm Water
  10. ½ T Yeast
  11. ¼ t Sugar
  12. 2 T Olive Oil
  13. 3 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  14. 1 Egg
  15. ½ Lb Very Thinly Shredded Good Quality Dry Ham
  16. 4 Oz Shredded Swiss Cheese
  17. 2 T Parmesan Cheese (Again Optional)
  18. 2 t Butter (If Using Pan)
Dry Dipping Ingredients
  1. (Optional And You Will Have Lots Leftover For Tons Of Other Recipes)
  2. 1 T Dried Basil
  3. 1 T Garlic Powder
  4. 1 T Dried Thyme
  5. 1 T Dried Oregano
  6. 1 T Dried Rosemary
  7. 1 T Dried Marjoram
  8. 1½ t Black Pepper
  9. 1½ t Salt
  10. ½ t Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
  1. Mix all dry dipping ingredients.
  2. Add 2 T hot tap water to flaxseed meal. Set aside 10 minutes to let it thicken.
  3. Bloom yeast & sugar in remaining ½ C warm water for 10 minutes or until foamy.
  4. Put first 8 ingredients in processor and pulse to blend.
  5. Add flaxseed and pulse to blend in.
  6. Add liquid Sucralose & olive oil to top of bloomed yeast and with machine running add to processor.
  7. Run processor for at least a minute and probably a little longer adding any additional water as needed a little at a time.
  8. You want to make sure there is enough water. Dough should hold together, have a loose consistency and should not be sticky on your hands. At this point the dough should have the same look and feel of regular bread.
  9. Form into a small square, put into a small un-greased container, and cover with film for about 20 minutes. No need to double this. As you can see, it does not have much yeast or sugar to rise because you don't need them to puff up like a balloon.
  10. Preheat oven to 400°.
  11. Roll dough (on your Silpat) to completely cover.
  12. Brush 1" egg wash around perimeter of dough
  13. Put down shredded ham and cover with Swiss cheese.
  14. Roll as tightly as you can to form a log.
  15. Now, starting at the center with both hands gently "pull" log to about 20".
  16. Gently Cut into 20-1" pinwheels. If you can't get your log to 20" then cut them a little less than 1".
  17. In buttered 10"x10" pan put in 4 rows of 5.
  18. If using a Silpat do the same.
  19. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese if using.
  20. Bake panned pinwheels 30 minutes and a Silpat (easiest) 25 minutes.

Notes
  1. If you are going to use your Silpat, move your log to a cutting board to stretch and gently cut it then put pinwheels back onto Silpat to bake.
  2. Save the rest of your egg for something else.
  3. I used 2 oz. gruyere and 2 oz. raclette cheeses mixed (both are Swiss cheeses) and that's why the cheeses look different colors.

Low Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee Cake

Leave a reply

Low Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee CakeLow Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee CakeLow Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee Cake. You may wonder why this coffee cake looks so dark and it’s because I used to use a different sweetener for most all the sugar-free sweetener. The sweetener, when wet, became darker than you think it should.  I just particularly liked the product and it’s flavor.  If you prefer, you can now use Allulose and it will not be so brown. Rest assured they taste the same. Anyway…still very easy to make and really good eats.

  3. ¾ t Vanilla Extract
  4. ½ t Cinnamon
  5. ⅓ C Finely Chopped Pecans
  6. ¼ C Barely Warmed Heavy Cream
  7. 1 Drop Liquid Sucralose***
The Cake
  1. 2 C Carbalose***
  2. 1½ t Baking Powder
  3. 1½ t Baking Soda
  4. 1 C Softened Butter
  5. ½ C Allulose***
  6. 16 Drops EZSweetz***
  7. 3 Large Eggs
  8. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  9. 1¼ C Sour Cream
  10. 1 t Butter (For Greasing Pan)
Crumb Topping
  1. Combine all the crumb ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Mix with a fork (or, go on and get your hands into it) until the mixture resembles crumbs. Set aside.
Cream Cheese Swirl
  1. Beat the cream cheese and allulose until fluffy.
  2. Mix in the vanilla, Sucralose cinnamon and gently add the heavy cream. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 10”x10 pan.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, & baking soda. Set aside.
  3. With an electric mixer beat the butter, allulose and EZSweetz until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture ⅓ at a time alternating with sour cream and mixing just until combined.
  5. Transfer the batter (it will be thick) to the prepared pan. Top the batter with spoonfuls of the cream cheese filling and using an up and down motion with a knife or better yet, a small offset spatula, to swirl.
  6. Sprinkle the nut topping evenly over the top of the cake.
  7. Bake 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make sure to check center as sometimes a cake look done but will fall after coming out of the oven and these do not rise too much anyway. They are very dense….and good.
  8. Also to test for doneness look at the edges of your pan and when finishing, the coffee cake will begin to pull away from the pan.

Notes
  1. When I say finely chopped nuts this is what I did. I have a small Cuisinart that runs in reverse to chop instead of grinding, so this process is very easy. Grinding makes it too fine but pulsing when on chopping works well.
  2. I would be careful trying to eat two of these as they are very high in fat. If you do attempt it just be aware you may feel awfully full unless it is all you eat and...even then...
  3. One of the things I love about low carb baking, and there are many, it that nothing is sticky and these are no different. Looks sticky but…not. Not to the pan and not to you.
  4. If you are feeling particular decadent add a teaspoon of melted butter on top as you serve them.

Low Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la Holstein

Low Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la HolsteinLow Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la HolsteinLow Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la Holstein. Whew doggie is this ever easy assuming you have Pork Dust Rind Breadcrumbs, eggs, capers, and salt & pepper. I used thigh meat because I much prefer it to drier white meat although, the pork rinds keep just about anything quite moist. I fry most (no, not all) of my foods in duck fat which I did here but olive oil works just great and I know most of you will use olive oil anyway.  When I need more duck fat I just buy a fat-rat duck, get 2 cups of fat and…have duck dinner for two.  For me, the taste of duck fat is incomparable. I had most of the fat left in the pan so I spooned it around the chicken thigh but if you are not into fat the way I am then please, leave it in the pan. A lot of that fat went into the eggplant served with it and it made it terrific too.

Low Carb Bordelaise Sauce

Low Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise Sauce. You’re going to look at the ingredients in this recipe and think to yourself, Deborah has seriously flipped her lid on this one.  Heavy cream & white wine DO NOT a dark gravy make, because those in the know, know that a Bordelaise is made with a red wine and beef stock.  But um, as you can see this is not a truism set in stone.  Look at the picture carefully because that gravy is as dark as anything you could want.  The secret is…the paprika.  Now you say, will that would make it red but nope it doesn’t, it makes it brown.  One can only hope the pictures say it all.  A small filet mignon which is the steak under the sauce is normally used but any good quality steak cut will serve you well.  If you think this sounds good you might try it on a Chicken Fried Steak because yes, it is that good.

  1. Steak not included in nutritionals, it's just the sauce.

  3. If you thicken your sauce a bit too much just add a little more water.

Keto Icelandic Cod Fillets

2 Replies

Keto Icelandic Cod FilletsLow Carb Icelandic Cod FilletsKeto Icelandic Cod Fillets.  Whew, you would think I might be a little embarrassed by putting up this recipe, but I am not.  It is so ridiculously easy, let alone good, that I couldn’t help myself.  I was originally going to use Pili Nuts as my topping and I will at some point but while I was making it, I decided to use pork rind dust and never looked back.  I had it the first week and it was so good I got another piece of it yesterday and just had it again today. I don’t know if you use or eat pili nuts or not as they are not only the best nut health-wise for you, they are very expensive too. I don’t eat them so often but I do every once in a while toast some and eat them.

The reason I say I’m embarrassed by the post is the ease of this keto Icelandic cod fillets. I guess everybody and their brother uses and makes this although maybe not with pork dust or pili nuts.  Awhile ago I bit the dust and ordered Duke’s Mayo and have never looked back.  As I know it, Duke’s is the only sugar-free mayonnaise made, yes with seed oil, and with that said, it is also the best tasting mayo ever.  I do have to order it from the company in South Carolina, but as I said, it is well worth it.  If you live in the South then you can buy it anywhere.  This Low Carb Icelandic Cod Fillets recipe is for one of those days when you are bone-dog tired and want dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.  So easy even a caveman could make it and no wonder it is such a popular dish.

In case you’re wondering that gorgeous spinach veggie on the plate with the cod? is called Spinach Bhaji which is also a new recipe.

Notes
  1. One of the nicer things about this fish is its tendency to release a bit of liquid which when mixed with the butter & mayo makes it quite moist while continuing to eat it.
  2. If you end up with the flatter portions of the tail of the cod they tend to overcook.
  3. I did get the large ends both times but the second time I ask for a flatter large end. The first time I made it, as soon as I put it under the broiler my mayo slide off so the second time I ask for a flatter large end and had pretty good success.
  4. If you add 1 T lemon juice it will add 1g carb or...and I do...add it.

Keto Ginger Cheesecake Tarts

Leave a reply

Low Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartLow Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartLow Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartLow Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartKeto Ginger Cheesecake Tarts.  Not long ago I published a recipe for Giant Ginger Cookies and quickly realized I could probably do a couple more based on the cookies and this is the first one that popped into my mind.  Since the cookie recipe make 15 very large ones, and they are crispy, why not make a kind of graham cracker crumb and use it as the crust base for a cheesecake.  Well, it worked really well and I am here to tell you they are deliciously sinful.  If you do not have the same 4½” tart pans I do then of course a larger pan will work beautifully and just not quite as easy to deal with since the filling only uses 8 oz. cream cheese.  These keto ginger cheesecake tarts are extremely dense and very filling, especially after a dinner.  Nutritionals include the ginger cookies crumb base and you will need a recipe of them to complete the tarts.  Take a good look in the first picture and you can see how dense the crumb is…just like a graham crumb.  Always remember that the longer you can leave it in the refrigerator, within reason, the more dense and thick the cheesecake becomes.  If you do not intend eating them in more than several days, they freeze beautifully.  The tart shells are also really good using anything that goes with the flavor of ginger like maybe a sugar-free ginger cream or whipped cream and raspberries & strawberries. If by some chance you are here and you don’t like ginger, you can always use your favorite low carb cookies for cheesecake or this dandy recipe for a thick creamy New York Cheesecake with the Two Crust Sizes For Most Nearly Any Pie recipe which is nearly identical to graham cracker crust. Yes keto ginger cheesecake tarts can also be made into a larger tart cut into 8 slices.  I just thought the smaller versions were a nice touch, especially for company and portion control.

You may question the use of ground chia seeds and it has to do the the bindability of sugar-free baked goods and it is one of the things that helps and that also includes the flax seed meal.

Ginger Cheesecake Tart
Print
4-4½” Removable Bottom Tart Pans
Crust
  1. 4 Giant Ginger Cookies Ground To Crumbs (Should Get about 1-1¼ C)
  2. ½ T Allulose
  3. ½ T Flaxseed Meal
  4. ½ T Ground Chia Seeds
  5. ⅓ C Melted Butter
Cheesecake Batter
  1. 8 Oz Cream Cheese
  2. ⅓ C Allulose
  3. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  4. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  5. 1 Egg
Sour Cream Topping
  1. ½ C Sour Cream
  2. ½ t Vanilla Extract
  3. 1 t Allulose
Instructions
  1. Mix all crust ingredients and let sit for 10-15 minutes then gently pat ¼ of the crumbs into each tart pan making sure to push up as high as you can to cover the sides the of the pan. The finished tart will pop out very easily if after you fill them carefully with the batter, it is all kept inside the shell. (I could have pushed my cookies filling up into the top of the tart tin a little further).
  2. Bake at 340° for 9-10 minutes, remove to counter to fill and turn down heat to 300°
  3. Meanwhile with cream cheese at room temperature beat with Just Like Sugar beating until well incorporated & scraping down a couple of times to get it mixed to smooth..
  4. Add vanilla and heavy cream and incorporate, again scraping down well.
  5. Now add egg and on low barely mix into batter until just incorporated and stop scraping to smooth. At this point you don’t want any more beating because it creates bubbles which are a no-no.
  6. Add ¼ of the batter to each shell and bake 23-24 minutes.
  7. Put on cooling rack in for at least an hour until completely, completely cool.
  8. Turn oven to 400°.
  9. Mix all topping ingredients.
  10. If you have a small offset spatula this is a time to use it. If you don’t have one then use the back of a small spoon.
  11. Take ¼ or about 2 T of the topping and put into the center of a cooled tart and spread it only to the very edge, and no more trying not to get it on the crust or pan.
  12. Pop into the oven 6 minutes and again put on cooling rack to cool, cover gently & refrigerate for at least 4 hours and more if possible as the longer they are refrigerated the thicker and more dense they become.
  13. When ready to serve, pop the tart out of the pan and quarter. Don't forget to take the removable bottom off.
