Dairy Free Coconut Bliss Truffles

Dairy Free Coconut Bliss Truffles

Condensed "Milk"
1 can of quality coconut milk (full fat)
1 teaspoon stevia

Truffles
1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 tbs butter
½ tsp coconut extract
5 drops stevia

Condensed milk
Combine the coconut milk and stevia in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it starts to boil. Lower the heat to low and cook mixture for about 2 hours. After 2 hours the coconut condensed milk should be thick enough so that it does not run off the spoon easily and is reduced to about half.

Truffles
Turn the heat to medium and mix in the butter and coconut stir the mixture frequently until it boils, then cook for another 12 minutes approximately, scrapping the sides of the pan. This time may vary and what you are looking for is a thick consistency. Let it cool and place it in the fridge for about 2+ hours. It is important to cool it before rolling it into balls.
remove from fridge, cover hands with butter and start rolling the mixture into balls. You might need to add more butter to your hands in between a few rolls. Roll each ball in unsweetened coconut.

Kickin Garlic Chicken

Kickin Garlic Chicken

2 Tbsp. Ghee
6-8 chicken thighs, skin on (could use any skin-on chicken pieces)
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper
8 cloves of garlic, separated and peeled, roughly chopped
4 oz full fat cream cheese
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cup chicken bone broth
1 1/4 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (or about 3/4 tsp. dried leaves)
2 Tbsp. butter

Heat the oven to 400° F with rack in centre of oven. In a oven-safe Dutch oven or big, oven-safe skillet with a lid, heat the ghee over medium high heat. Dry the chicken pieces well by patting them with a paper towel. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with a bit of salt and the pepper. Cook the chicken until well browned, turning regularly, for about 8 minutes in all then remove chicken to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook, stirring regularly, until it is starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add bone broth and white wine over the garlic and stir until combined. Add cream cheese until dissolved. Return the chicken to the pot, cover, and bake for 25 minutes in the pre-heated 400° oven. (If you pot or skillet doesn’t have a lid, you can tightly cover the top with tin-foil instead.)
Serve spooned over cauliflower mash.

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

Beat swerve and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated; add vanilla extract and stir until incorporated. Combine almond flour and baking powder together in another bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture. Mix faux apple cider into batter until smooth. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Next the faux apples.
Lightly pat/push apple mixture into batter. Pour the remaining batter over apple layer... Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Mine took about 35.

Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

Hands down, the best!!! I fool all my non-Wheat Belly family with this recipe! From this recipe I have made Faux applesauce, fried apple turnovers, apple pie, apple crumble, apple coffee cake. I have several batches in the freezer for when I get the urge. It's great to use all the organic zucchini that I've been blessed with this year.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

 Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
3 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 cup peeled zucchini, seeds removed and cut into coins and then crescent
sweetener to taste (I use stevia about 14 drops)
1/4 teaspoon maple extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
Pinch of chipotle pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon apple extract, if you don't have use extra raw apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Melt the butter into the bacon drippings.

Add the zucchini and saute until it is crisp tender, and a little browned. This helps keep the "apple" crunch.

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until liquid is reduced and nearly gone.

Stir very often.

Taste and adjust sweetness/seasoning.
