With the Fourth of July around the corner, here's a delicious low-carb recipe for our American friends so they can celebrate Independence day the keto way!
This red, white and blue Low-Carb Fruit Pizza was always a favorite summertime dessert of mine growing up! Typically it’s a large sugar cookie topped with a cream cheese icing and all sorts of fruit.
To make this easy keto fruit pizza we’re making a quick low-carb sugar cookie base and using a classic full-fat cream cheese frosting made low-carb with erythritol-based sweetener and topping it off with fresh strawberries and blueberries. You could also use raspberries or blackberries. All of these options are low in carbs and ideal for those who need to watch their blood sugar levels.
