Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

A delicious sauce to pair with your favorite dessert.

Tonight we are treating ourselves and serving this over vanilla ice cream sll be a Z3 dessero it wit for us! Here’s the most important part. I try to keep my desserts to 15 grams of carbs or less. I find if I do that I don’t gain. That mostly involves portion control. For the ice cream (ZReboot only), I serve one-third of a cup of vanilla ice cream. I don’t eat cow ice cream anymore. The brand So Delicious is made with coconut milk and is divine. There are other brands coming out too. Read labels and do the math before you dive in. This small dessert fills the craving and I am satisfied. I’ll hope it will be the same for you, too.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups of blueberries
  • 3/4 cup of water
  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup of sweetener. I use ZSweet or Swerve (buy online).
  • 1 Tbl of corn starch dissolved in 2 Tbl of water
  • 2 tsp of vanilla

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan add all the ingredients. Cook on medium-high until the berries bubble and some begin to break. Stir often. I sort of poke at some of the berries with my wooden spoon to encourage them to open up. When the sauce turns the deep blueberry purple color turn it down to medium-low and continue cooking until it thickens up to your liking. This will likely be two to five minutes. Take off the heat and let sit to thicken more and cool down.

Hints

  • I make this while I am making the rest of dinner. This ensures that I hang around the pan to stir often. After dinner, the sauce is still a bit warm and tastes lovely over the ice cream.
  • Be sure to dissolve your corn starch in the water. If you put it in straight, you’ll likely have aggravating white lumps in your sauce.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
