3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust (Low Carb, Gluten Free, Protein)

Posted on by

Treat yourself to pizza night done right with 3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust, a gluten-free, low-carb and protein-packed alternative to traditional crusts.

I’ve been baking and cooking with cottage cheese for YEARS, so it’s funny to see all these viral cottage cheese recipes on TikTok, Instagram and such as if it’s something new! Using cottage cheese is a smart way to bump up protein, lower fat, and minimize carbohydrates in many recipes – pizza crusts included!

The macros on this pizza crust are impressively good. The recipe makes two personal sized crusts (about 6” diameter each) with a single crust (before toppings of your choice) coming in at 163 cal, 4g net carb, 10g dietary fiber, 5g fat and 18g protein.

The only ingredients used in this low carb pizza crust are cottage cheese, coconut flour and ground flax seed meal.

TIPS FOR MAKING COTTAGE CHEESE PIZZA CRUST:

COTTAGE CHEESE: When it comes to selecting cottage cheese for his keto pizza crust recipes, pick a small curd cottage cheese with 2% or 4% milk fat. Stay away from the Fat-free cottage cheese, it does not perform as well. Also, if you use small-curb cottage cheese, there is no need to blend the cottage cheese smooth (as some similar recipes call for). For reference, I used Good Culture 2% Classic Low-Fat Cottage Cheese. They also make a lactose-free cottage cheese, if that is needed.

COCONUT FLOUR: This recipe only calls for ¼ cup of coconut flour, but it is a very “thirsty” flour and much less is required than other types of flour. For this reason, please to not make flour substitutes.

GROUND FLAXSEED MEAL: I added ground flax seed to add more fiber to the recipes, along with omega fatty acids. If you can not source this, you can *likely* just substitute with 1 tablespoon more of coconut flour – but I have not tried this yet, so let me know if you do.

OPTIONAL SEASONINGS: You won’t need salt because cottage cheese has enough sodium. But you might like to add garlic powder, everything bagel seasoning, fresh chopped herbs, or whatever else you would prefer.

BAKING: You will need parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet to cover your baking pan and prevent sticking.

COOLING & STORING: After removing the crust from the initial baking, you will want to let it cool almost completely. Otherwise, it will be too fragile to handle. This recipe makes two homemade personal-sized pizza crusts. If you are not using both, cover the leftover one and keep in the fridge to use later for up to 5 days.

TOPPINGS: After your crust has mostly cooled, feel free to handle it to add sauce, more cheese, veggies, meats or whatever toppings you love. Pop back in the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked to your preference.

Put your trust in this crust for pizza night! A low-carb, high-protein, gluten-free pizza crust that tastes amazing and holds up to the toppings of your choice. Recipe makes two personal-sized crusts, each with 163 cal, 14g carb (4 net carb), 5g fat and 18g protein.

I also have a 2-Ingredient, 2-Minut Pizza Crust recipe that the family loves too – it uses Greek Yogurt and self-rising flour (or an all-purpose gluten-free baking blend with a bit of baking soda).

My Lean Honey BBQ Pulled Brisket in the Slow Cooker is a beefy family favorite.

TIPS ON MAKING HONEY BBQ SHREDDED BRISKET

BRISKET CUT: I’ve used a flat-half brisket to keep the recipe lean. Flat-half is also sometimes called “center cut” or “first cut”.  The “flat” (as opposed to the fattier “point” cut) is typically used for braised brisket that you want to hold up in slices, but it will also shred if cooked low and slow. It’s considered a lean cut by the USDA with 170 cal, 6g total fat, and 28g protein per 3-oz cooked serving (where all visible fat has been trimmed). I’ve been getting my brisket from Butcher Box, a premium meat and seafood delivery service, and been very happy with their grass-fed, grass-finished beef selections.

CAN I SUBSTITUTE THE CUT AND/OR SIZE?  Yes, you can use the “point cut” of brisket, if preferred. Also, a Chuck Roast works well. Just note that switching the cut does alter the nutritional details. Also, if you’d like to make a bigger batch, just scale up the ingredients (doesn’t have to be precision, this isn’t baking) and also ensure the cooker is big enough.  Also, you may want to add another hour or two of cooking on low – check center, thickest part with meat thermometer and pull at 190F-200F.

SLOW COOKER SPECS: You want to make sure that the slow cooker you are using approximately matches the piece of meat. For example, for a smaller brisket (like this 2.5 one), I used a 4-quart slow cooker instead of my 6-quart one to ensure that the sauce depth would adequate. If I poured the sauce into the big slow cooker, it would spread out too much, not covering the meat as well, and possible burn to the bottom and/or create a dry meat outcome. 

HONEY BBQ SAUCE: I’ve used ingredients to make this a Paleo pulled beef recipes – for example, coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch. However, you can use what fits your dietary preferences.

LEFTOVERS: Store leftover cooked beef in the fridge, in an air-tight container, for up to 4 days. OR freeze for up to 6 months. ALSO, this recipe turns out more sauce than needed for coating the pulled beef. Pour the remaining Honey BBQ Sauce in a jar store in the fridge for up to 4 days – or freeze in a freezer-friendly container.

Treat yourself to a slice of this small-batch Raspberry Almond Dark Chocolate Tart, a luxuriously rich and creamy dessert (without added sugar) that is perfectly portioned to serve four.

A rich and delicious chocolate tart bejeweled with raspberries and almonds, and perfectly portioned to serve two to four guests. No added sugar and can be gluten-free depending on what type of cookie used for the crumb crust.

I’m typically not entertaining a crowd – so this half-sized chocolate tart is ideal for small gatherings, intimate dinner dates, or just because you know (like me) you’d eat all the leftovers without thinking!

This dark chocolate tart with raspberries is surprisingly simple to make, and only uses a handful of ingredients, six to be exact – butter, sugar-free cookies, heavy cream, sugar-free chocolate chips, raspberries and a sprinkle of almonds.

TIPS FOR MAKING CHOCOLATE ALMOND RASPBERRY TART

Sugar-free Ingredients: While I used sugar-free products, like sugar-free chocolate chips) it’s not imperative. You can substitute the full-sugar siblings – however, it will alter the nutritional details. The cookies are crushed, and while I used a chocolate sandwich cookie, you may use other sugar-free types like sugar-free vanilla wafers, chocolate chip cookies, or graham crackers.

Dairy Ingredients: Do NOT substitute the butter with margarine or heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. The filling is a classic chocolate ganache, and these full-fat dairy items are essential for a successful outcome. If you need a dairy-free recipes, try my full-size, Paleo Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Tart Pan / Dish: A little 5.5” pie dish works perfectly, or a smaller quiche pan, tart pan, or lower profile ramekin with a 5.5 to 6” diameter.

Microwave: I don’t have the patience to melt chocolate and cream on the stove top using a double boiler method. So, instead I melt by heating up the cream in microwave (to just under boiling) and then adding my FINELY chopped chocolate at room temperature (or mini chocolate chips work well). Then I stir until everything melted together, smooth, and glossy! Those little pieces of chocolate melt fast, but if needed, you still have chocolate lumps – microwave for 5-10 seconds and stir again.

Caramel Protein Tiramisu with Rice Cake Layers

Posted on by
5


You’ll love this guilt-free makeover on a classic dessert favorite – Caramel Protein Tiramisu! By swapping out traditional ingredients for healthier options — like blended cottage cheese for mascarpone cheese and rice cakes for lady fingers – you get a protein dessert that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also fuels your body with nourishing goodness.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your protein intake (this protein tiramisu has 285 call and 31g protein!) or simply seeking a lighter, sugar-free snack option, this Tiramisu makeover recipe is sure to delight your taste buds without compromising on taste or a sense of treating yourself.

INGREDIENTS & TIPS

Rice cakes: Use your favorite plain rice cakes, salted or unsalted in the mini size. There are flavored rice cakes out there like caramel and chocolate . . . which would work – but would add sugar to the recipe (so I avoided them).

Cottage Cheese & Greek Yogurt: For a lower fat and low-calorie tiramisu that is packed with protein, this recipe relies on 2% cottage cheese blended no fat Greek yogurt to maintain a creamy texture. When whipping your cottage cheese in the blender in preparation for this cottage cheese dessert, do not drain it beforehand. The liquid, watery stuff you see is actually the whey protein – which is important for the nutrition and also to assist in blending!!

Coffee: Rice cakes are soaked in coffee, one by one, before layering into the tiramisu. You have lots of coffee choices and you only need about ¼ cup– regular brewed coffee, instant coffee, espresso (if you like a stronger taste), instant espresso (what I used), and even a canned coffee drink would work.

Protein Powder: Adding just a bit of protein powder (only 2 tbsp) boosts the protein count and helps sweeten without sugar. To make this a caramel tiramisu, I used a plant-based Caramel Protein from Nuzest (save 15% with code: FITFORK). You can also use a coffee or vanilla protein powder and the protein format of your preference – like whey or plant or whatever!

Cocoa powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder is dusted on top with a sifter in that famous old-world style. This little flourish adds deep chocolate notes and will make your cottage cheese dessert taste and look like a tiramisu! Because it was such a small amount of cocoa powder, I used a little mesh tea strainer as my sifter – genius, I thought!

Cup / Bowl Size:  Choosing the right cup or bowl is a little tricky if you want a “perfect” presentation and see the layers– the bowl opening at the widest part has to accommodate the width of a rice cake (usually and 3 ¾” to 4”) – if the bottom is a little narrower, that’s fine as the soaked rice cake can be flattened smooth with a spoon. I used a 10-oz glass bowl filled up to the very tippy top (a 10-ounce custard cup or 10-oz ramekin would work great) Most 10-12 oz bowls, mugs or cups will work if you are not particular about perfect layers.

Scaling Up: This is a recipe for one, specifically measured to create one delicious single-serve tiramisu. That being said, it’s an easy recipe to scale up this tiramisu for one – simply multiply the ingredient portions by the number of servings desired to be make. I think it could also be made larger in an 8×8 or 9×13 dish, but I haven’t tried that yet!
