Fruit Pizza Low Carb Variation Food

FRUIT PIZZA | KETO, NO SUGAR ADDED

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line a large cookie sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper, greased with butter or non stick spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and erythritol using an electric mixer, until well blended and creamy. Next, add in the egg and mix again.
• Once the egg is well incorporated, add the almond flour and mix until smooth and creamy. The batter will be a thinner then a typical cookie dough - resembling frosting or a thick cake batter.
• Using a rubber spatula, scrape the dough into a pile in the center of the prepared cookie sheet (on top of the greased parchment). Grease a second piece of parchment and place it on top of the dough.
• Using your hands, begin forming the dough into a 12" circle. Do your best to ensure that it is a uniform depth. Remove the top layer of parchment and bake the dough in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on it as it can scorch quickly.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the pan or adding toppings. The crust will be pretty soft, almost cake like, when you remove it from the oven - but it should firm up as it cools.
• In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the butter, cream cheese, vanilla and erythritol. Once they are well combined, add the heavy cream. Mix on high until the mixture has thickened and nearly doubled in size.
• Once the cookie crust has completely cooled, carefully transfer it to your serving dish and evenly top with the frosting and sliced fruit.

KETO FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl combine the melted butter, almond flour, sweetner, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.
• Spray a pizza pan or baking sheet lightly with cooking spray or parchment paper to make it easier to slice and remove.
• Carefully press the crust into an even layer. Tip: I place a silicone baking sheet on top of the crust and press or roll the dough into an even layer and then carefully, slowly peel the silicone off the dough. My crust is between 10-11 inches in diameter.
• Bake the crust 6-7 minutes until lightly browned and completely set. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCOOK. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on how thick you press your crust.
• Allow crust to cool.
• In a food processor, blender or with a hand mixer combine the cream cheese, sweetner, cream, almond milk and vanilla and blend or mix until smooth.
• Spread the cream cheese frosting on the crust and top with fruit

FRUIT PIZZA (LOW CARB VARIATION)

Steps:

• Mix the eggs, vanilla, and melted butter in one bowl. Be sure the butter is cool enough to not cook the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
• In a separate bowl, mix the coconut meal (I just used dried coconut for an accurate carb count), salt, baking soda, and stevia. (Stevia is an herb that tastes sweet. You can replace it with sugar or any sugar substitute.).
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix thoroughly.
• Grease a 17¼" x 12¼" x 1" jelly roll pan. Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
• Bake at 350 f for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let cool completely.
• Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, and stevia. Add more sweetener if necessary. I don't like my sweets very sweet and I think the fruit adds more than enough flavor.
• Spread the frosting evenly over the cake.
• Slice the fruit and layer on top of the frosting.
• Slice and serve.
