This guy knows good desserts too…as he claims he’s lost over 200 pounds thanks to a low carb (Atkins) diet plan. That’s pretty amazing!

Watching him make that made my mouth water, and I promise you, I guarantee I could eat the entire pan. No doubt about it! But that’s not a good idea, and I don’t recommend it. Eating an entire pan WILL leave you with many regrets that night. As with any dessert item while low carbing, it’s always best to tread carefully. Just because something is “low carb” doesn’t mean you can eat 10 servings of it.

Anyway, the recipe looks pretty basic, and the only thing you might have to hunt for is the Vanilla Protein Powder it calls for. I found some recommendations on this low carb site, and it’s really not all that expensive, due to the fact that it does last for a while (assuming you get the big jug of it). Apparently it’s used in quite a few low carb recipes, which was total news to me.

Here’s the video with clear instructions:

Anyway, if anyone tries this recipe before me, by all means, please post in the comments below on what you thought about it. Thanks!

I don’t know about you, but I used to ALWAYS make sure I had several different desserts on hand that I could munch on throughout the day and night.

Anyway, since I began a low carb lifestyle, I quickly found out what I could do for dessert/sweet tooth options. There isn’t a broad range of desserts out there that are low carb friendly, but I have one in particular that I’m surprised more low carb dieters don’t know about.

jello-whipped-creamWhat am I referring to?

Sugar Free Jello with Natural Heavy Whipped Cream.

I have two words for this low carb dessert….simply amazing.

Honestly, I don’t think I could survive the low carb Atkins lifestyle without it. Sure, there are a variety of sweet low carb bars, shakes, etc…but nothing compares to dishing out a HUGE bowl of sugar free strawberry jello topped with copius amounts of heavy whipped cream. YUMMY! And seriously, go crazy with it. You could make a meal out of it if you want (though, it’s not as filling as a steak), but it absolutely WILL crush your sweet tooth cravings.

Here is a quick recipe for making real whipped cream if you don’t have one handy:

Ingridients
14 oz. chilled heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp. Splenda® (or to taste)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
Whip the hell out of it.
Chill
