Question is basically in the title lol. The other night I made a Reese's type of bar with peanut butter and almond flour for the base, dark chocolate hardened on top. What are some other ideas? Was thinking a cannoli dip, but then what to dip in it?
This is what I made the other night

If you like cheesecake…
[These low carb cannoli bites](https://the-lowcarb-diet.com/low-carb-cannoli-bites/) are really good. They use an almond flour crust with a ricotta filling. There’s cocoa and cinnamon involved and they end up tasting like cannoli. You do need a mini tart pan to make them.
I enjoy almond flour mug cakes with cream and sugar free chocolate chips. Cottage cheese cake is another. I also make ice cream cookies by baking an almond flour crust in mini pie cases and whipping up some cream and sugar free jelly dissolved in half the amount of water and freeze them. Also made a good coconut custard pie using egg yolks to thicken the coconut milk and again on an almond flour base. I just add guar gum to the almond flour and use sweetener, butter and a little almond milk if needed. Bake them till they’re done and just use them for whatever. Sometimes I make bars and top them with cream cheese and a little melted sugar free chocolate and sweetener. I’m diabetic so not completely Keto but low carb and I find I can enjoy a bit of fruit. I really want to make a few small peach crumbles because it’s winter where I am. Just to have some warm comfort food.
I am not sure what GF means (Gluten free?), but take any tiramisu recipe you find and instead of sugar add your keto friendly sweetener. You can omit lady fingers, they add nothing in my opinion.
Best keto ice cream.

Take one avocado and mash it with 2 eggs and 1 cup of sugar replacement (whatever sweetener of choice would replace a cup of sugar). Make it smooth then add 1/3 cup Dutch process cocoa and 60 grams unflavored protein powder of choice. A splash of salt, a splash of vanilla, 1/4 tsp baking powder and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. If you want you can replace the avocado with half cup of melted butter. And you have just made delicious keto brownies. With butter they’re very fudgy, with avocado they’re more cake like. Top with whatever you desire, chopped nuts work great.
