Whipped Feta Dip recipe

Today’s post is a super easy recipe for a lovely keto friendly, Whipped Feta Dip.

We recently found the original version of this recipe in a Coles magazine. It was included as a side for a salad. When we made it, we needed to find a swap out for 1 of the ingredients as we did not have it in the pantry.

The result was a delicious, keto friendly, whipped feta that was better as a dip, which has proved very popular at bar-b-ques.

Whipped Feta Dip
Ingredients

100 grams Greek feta cheese

70 grams plain Greek yoghurt

2 tbsp. almond butter

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1 clove garlic (crushed)

1.5 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

 

Place the feta, yoghurt, almond butter, lemon juice & garlic into a food processor.

Process until smooth, then add the olive oil and again process till combined.

This dip will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for several days (if it lasts that long).


Hope you enjoy this dip as much as we do,

Hard Chocolate Biscuits – a recipe

Welcome to 2024, it’s already moving fast.

Today I’m sharing a recipe for Hard Chocolate Biscuits.

Recently I needed to make something for a morning tea and these biscuits are easy to make. The recipe comes from a book called ‘The Eat Real Food Cookbook’ by David Gillespie.

For these biscuits, dextrose is the sweetener, which is a healthier option that caster sugar.

Hard Chocolate Biscuits

(Makes 20 to 28 depending on size)

Ingredients

100g butter

1 cup dextrose

175 g plain flour (I used gluten free)

2 tablespoons cacao powder

¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Method

* Preheat the oven to 180*C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

* Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

* Then add the dextrose, stirring until dissolved, taking care not to let the mix boil.

* Remove the pan from the heat, add in the flour, cacao and bicarb, mixing well.

* Roll spoonful’s of mixture into small balls, place then on the prepared tray and squash with your fingers.

* Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until coloured but not dark – the biscuits will harden as they cool.

* Cool on the tray until the biscuits harden, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

My notes – I used a tablespoon to scoop my mixture and when the biscuits cooked, they spread quite a bit. This also resulted in only 18 biscuits being made.

I also found that my batch were not a ‘hard’ biscuit. This is fine by us as we like a softer biscuit. If the biscuits aren’t as hard as you like, once they are cool, put them into the oven again for another 5 minutes, then allow to cool completely again.

I hope you enjoy making these biscuits and find them to be a tasty treat.

There is another biscuit recipe in the book I’m going to try and I will let you know how that works out.
