These cinnamon almond macarons are a delectable twist on the traditional French dessert. They're crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, with a warm and comforting cinnamon flavor that runs throughout. For a decadent and delightful treat, fill them with your favorite buttercream or cream cheese filling.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 300F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the egg whites gradually, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold the almond flour and egg white mixture together until completely combined. Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the mixture and pipe small rounds about 1 inch in diameter and 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles, then set aside for 20-30 minutes to allow a skin to form on the macarons. Bake the macarons for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp on the outside but still soft on the inside. Allow to cool completely before filling and sandwiching with your favorite filling, such as almond buttercream or cinnamon cream cheese.

Indulge in the delightful sweetness of raspberries without the sugar. This sugar-free raspberry curd is low-carb and suitable for a THM S meal. It's perfect as a topping or spread for your favorite keto treats.

Ingredients: 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries. 1/4 cup powdered erythritol. 3 large eggs. 1/4 cup unsalted butter. 1/4 cup lemon juice. Zest of 1 lemon. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for thickening.

Instructions: Blend or process the raspberries until they are smooth in a blender or food processor. Put the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of the seeds. Then, put the raspberry puree in a bowl. Mix the powdered erythritol and eggs together in a heat-safe bowl by whisking them together. Melt the unsalted butter over low heat in a saucepan. You can add the raspberry puree, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract after the butter has melted. Use a stir to mix. Slowly pour the raspberry mixture into the egg mixture while whisking it all the time to keep it from curdling. Put the mixture back in the saucepan and stir it constantly over low heat until it gets thicker. You can add xanthan gum to help it thicken if you want to. When the curd gets thick, take it off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. After that, put it in a glass jar or other container and put it in the fridge until it's cold and set. You can use your sugar-free raspberry curd to top low-carb desserts or as a spread on keto-friendly bread. Have fun!
