I wanted to elevate this recipe to another – calorie-dense and yet outstandingly delicious – level. Here comes the nutty chocolate cake. It’s relatively low carb and paleo-friendly.

Paleo Hazelnut Chocolate Fudge – A Low Carb Recipe

Lately, I’ve been craving chocolate a lot. As I am feeling great on my low carb diet (yummy cake, soup to name a few recipes) I was looking for a recipe that fits both criteria. I wasn’t very lucky when I glanced over a few on the Internet. Luckily my wife was! After a few tries and changes on the recipe, I’ll share with you what ended up being a delicious paleo hazelnut chocolate fudge – best served warm!

Eclair with chestnut cream

Chocolate Granola with nuts, an easy DIY

Over the past years, breakfast became an important part of my daily routine and nutrition. After trying out plenty of things, I ended up tasting several kinds of oats, müslis and granolas. In most cases, I really didn’t like them. They were too sweet or full with stuff I didn’t want to (i.e. unnecessary preservatives) or didn’t like to eat (i.e dried fruits mainly raisins and dates). So I started working on my own versions of granolas. This post is Continue Reading…

Nevertheless, I’ve got a big addiction to dark chocolate and cheesecake, especially cheesecake!

Nutella Muffins

Protein Powder Apple Muffins

Muffins are one of my favorite baked goods and I love them because they are so versatile (see Chocolate Chip Muffin with Pumpkin Purée) and you can easily transform almost any baking recipe into a muffin recipe.

I don’t want to consistently drink protein shakes (even if I enjoy them a lot!). And Continue Reading…
