P3 Mock Ice Cream

put strawberries and cream and some stevia in a blender and blend it up till smooth then put in the freezer (works better if you have an ice cream machine) and stir it every hour until solid makes a great P3 ice cream!

P3/P4 Cheesecake

Tracy at LCF shared these Cheesecake recipe ideas! I will try them when I get to P3. Warning: Some of the mix in ideas are not P3 unless you modify with SF items! I have suggested a few ideas

The funny thing about my cheesecake recipe is it is the exact same recipe as the CC Muffins. I use the Philadelphia Cream Cheese recipe that I got years ago.

2 8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar (use xylitol to make this P3 okay)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 graham cracker crust (go crustless or make a nut type crust to make this P3 okay)

For caramel toffee, I use the little balls of caramel (or Russel Stovers SF Caramel balls for P3). If you can't find the little balls (chocolate chip size), I wil caramel ice cream topping (SF for P3). I use the heath bits of toffee (u can sub SF toffee pieces for P3). Sometimes I can't find just the plain toffe bits and have to use the ones that include the chocolate. I add 1/2 cup of each to the cheesecake. If using the ice cream topping, just add the toffee. Pour into crust and dollop the ice cream topping and then swirl. Bake in a 350 oven for 40 minutes. I used to wait until it was set, but I found lately that if I take them out at exactly 40 minutes they are done and really creamy.

For raspberry chocolate chip, I put in 1/2 cup chocolate chips (SF if P3). Pour into crust. Dollop on 100% fruit raspberry jam and swirl(SF jam if P3). Can use whatever flavor of jam that you want. Bake the same as above.

I've also used crushed candy cane for peppermint chocolate chip.

To make things not so sugary you can use the sugar-free chocolate chips. If you go with the caramel ice cream topping you could use sugar-free, but I have not tested that yet. To cut down on sugar that is why I use the 100% fruit jam too.

The possibilities are endless, I just need some new ideas for flavors.

P3 Shortbread Cookie Dough

Thanks to Slim on LCG! I will be trying these in Jan. 2010 when I'm in P3

P3 - Shortbread Cookie Recipe
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup Splenda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup room temperature unsalted butter
Vanilla extract
I took some Macadamias and roughed chopped them and added it into dough
Sprinkle Cinnamon on top of the cookies after you cut them.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the almond flour, splenda and salt in a mixing bowl. Work in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the dough has the consistency of short crust. Pulsing in a food processor will work also.
Sprinkle a board or your counter top lightly with almond flour. Turn the dough onto the board and knead until it's smooth. Refrigerate the dough for a couple of hours or overnight.
You should have approximately 8 ounces of dough. Divide the dough into four equal portions for large cookies or eight equal portions for small cookies and shape into rounds.
Place each round on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and flatten them with the bottom of a glass to about 1/4 inch thickness. Prick with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 to 30 minutes, until the cookies begin to brown slightly. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet.

P3 Cream Cheese Danish

I have not tried this myself yet. I will once I'm in P3...maybe during my Christmas-New Year interruption. I got the idea from the LCF site in the bulletin boards Dr. Simeon's HCG December thread.

Now something really yummy is to make oopsies, but to flatten them before baking so they have a well in the center, then as they bake, whip up some cream cheese and egg just like a cheese cake recipe and when the oopsies are solid but not yet brown, remove them from the oven and scoop the cream cheese into the middle, and plop some sF jam on top of that. and pop them back into the oven for the rest of the oopsie cooking time. WOOT! Oopsie Danish!!!

See Cleochatra's blog link in my links section for Oopsie and other FANTASTIC recipes!
