LOW CARB KETO CHEESE CRACKERS RECIPE
Steps:
- Melt the cheddar cheese in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove, until smooth and easy to stir. It will release some oil, which is okay, but try to stir it together as much as possible.
- Meanwhile, stir together the almond flour, sea salt, and nutritional yeast, if using. Stir in the egg, until combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
- Add the melted cheddar to the bowl and use your hands to knead, squeezing between your fingers, until a uniform dough forms. It will feel oily - this is normal. (If you have issues getting it to incorporate, this is similar to making fathead dough - check my tips in my fathead pizza post or see the complete fathead dough guide in The Wholesome Yum Easy Keto Cookbook.)
- Form a ball with the dough. If it's too sticky to work with, chill for about 15 minutes.
- Grease 2 pieces of parchment paper lightly and place the ball of dough between them. Roll to a very thin rectangle, about 1/16 (.2 cm) to 1/8 inch (.4 cm) thick. (It will tend to roll into an oval shape, so just rip off pieces of dough and re-attach to form a more rectangular shape.)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the crackers into squares or rectangles and place onto the lined baking sheet. Prick with a fork or toothpick to prevent bubbling.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, until golden. If there is any oil on top of crackers after baking, pat with paper towels. Cool completely to crisp up.

HOMEMADE VEGAN AND DAIRY-FREE ALMOND CHEESE

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Blanched almonds are almonds that have their skins removed; you can have someone else do it for you or do it yourself. First, start by boiling water over the almonds and let the almonds soak for a few minutes.
- Drain and rinse the almonds, and then rub the almonds with a towel or just use your fingers to peel and pop the skin off.
- Removing the skin before making almond cheese gives the cheese a smoother texture and lighter color that looks like cheese. You can make the cheese with the skin on if you prefer.
- Soak the blanched almonds in cold water for 24 hours before making the cheese. Cover and place in refrigerator.
- Drain and rinse the almonds well.
- Put the blanched almonds in a food processor or high-powered blender with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and water.
- Blend until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Scrape the mixture into double-layered cheesecloth lining a colander.
- Gather the cheesecloth tightly around the almond mixture and secure into a bundle by using a rubber band or string to tie the top. Give the bundle a few gentle squeezes to remove liquid. Leave the bundle in the colander and place in the refrigerator overnight over a bowl or rimmed plate to catch any liquid that might drain. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours. This helps the texture of the cheese become firmer.
- Discard any liquid that drains out. Carefully peel the cheesecloth off of the almond "cheese." The "cheese" will have a consistency similar to cookie dough. At this point, the almond cheese can be eaten immediately as a spread or refrigerated for up to two weeks.

LOW CARB CHEESECAKE WITH ALMOND CRUST
I've been searching for a low carb cheesecake since I've given up sugar and so, using ideas from different recipes, I came up with this one. I made it with raspberry jello and then I pureed a 1/2 pint of raspberries with some Splenda (add to your taste) and a tsp. of gelatin. Then I spread it on the cheesecake before chilling.

Steps:
- Almond Crust:.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix the almond flour, butter and sugar substitute in a bowl. Spray 8x8 square pan (or pie plate) with cooking spray, and press this mixture evenly into the pan.
- Place this crust in a preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden browned and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan. Remove the crust from the oven, and let it cool while you make the filling.
- Cheesecake Filling:.
- Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water, stirring for 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool and slightly thickened (20-30 minutes).
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the Jello to the cream cheese, and mix really well. Add Cool Whip 1/2 cup at a time until well blended. Add the sugar substitute until blended. Spread the mixture in the pan or pie plate and chill for a couple of hours.
- This recipe is very versatile. Use different jello flavour or add more or less sugar substitute or use juice instead of water or fold fresh or canned fruit into the cheesecake filling.

ALMOND 'FETA CHEESE' SPREAD WITH HERB OIL (VEGAN)
From the Fab Five list in the April 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times. I never thought I'd have enough time to make vegan "cheese," but because this was one of the editors' picks I gave it a shot, and I'm so glad I did! Though it's called "feta cheese," in the title, it really is a creamy spread. I told my DH that it was an "almond spread" and he loved it! Asked what kind of cheese I used in it, and was surprised to learn there was none. The recipe is really easy, but takes lots of waiting time (not included in the times). I'm listing it exactly like in the magazine. But for the oil topping at the end, I think 1/4 cup oil is too much. Personally, I'm cutting it back to 2 tablespoons next time. Enjoy! Edited to add: The original recipe in the magazine says to bake it 200F for 40 minutes, but as several reviewers noted here (and I agree) it's better in a hotter oven. Try 400F and watch for it to brown. Baking is only needed to turn it from creamy to crumbly, so it's completely up to you.

Steps:
- Place almonds in medium bowl and cover with 3 inches of water. Let soak 24 hours. Drain and rinse.
- Puree almonds, lemon juice, 3 T olive oil, garlic, salt and 1/2 cup water in blender or food processor for 6 minutes or until really creamy.
- Place a triple layer of cheesecloth in strainer and spoon almond mixture onto cheesecloth. Bring sides together twist into an orange-sized ball and secure with a twist tie. Chill for 12 hours.
- Line baking sheet with parchment and transfer almond ball from cheesecloth. Shape to look like a 6" round of brie (about 3/4" thick). (Note, I just put it into a pretty pottery bowl and baked it. Then I could pour the oil on top and serve it. No parchment needed.).
- Bake 40 minutes or until top is slightly firm. Cool. Then chill.
- Combine 1/4 cup olive oil with herbs and heat over medium low heat until heated through but not simmering. Cool to room temperature and drizzle over almond spread just before serving.
- Spread on crusty bread or crakers. You'll love it!
Tips:
- Use almond flour with a fine grind. This will help the cheese rounds hold together better and give them a smoother texture.
- Be sure to measure the almond flour correctly. Too much almond flour can make the cheese rounds dry and crumbly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cheese rounds tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cheese rounds hold their shape.
- Bake the cheese rounds until they are just golden brown. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cheese rounds cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help them hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Almond cheese rounds are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. They are low in carbs and high in protein and fiber. They are also a good source of calcium and vitamin E. Try making almond cheese rounds and add them to your favorite recipes or pair them with fresh vegetables for a quick and healthy snack.
