- Hey Munchies!
Welcome to the channel if you're new or if you're not,
I'm Alyssia and I'm so happy you're here either way.
Today, I am sharing some easy five ingredient desserts
that are sweet and satisfying.
We've got PB&J Thumbprint Cookies,
those classic Buckeyes,
and some Strawberry Shortcakes.
How in the world are we gonna keep these so simple,
light, and delicious?
Today's video was sponsored by Truvia
and I will be using their new Sweet Complete
and Confectioners Sweetener
to lighten up these without compromising taste.
Let's start with those cookies!
(upbeat music)
The five ingredients needed for this recipe
are creamy peanut butter, Truvia Sweet Complete,
an egg, vanilla extract, and your favorite jam or preserves.
So, these are actually flour-less and gluten-free too.
Mix together that peanut butter, sweetener,
egg, and vanilla until well combined.
(upbeat music)
The great thing about Truvia Sweet Complete
is that it measures out cup for cup like sugar.
I actually took another thumbprint cookie
that I know I love and I swapped the sugar for Truvia
and you can do that for your favorite recipes too.
That is our dough and it needs to be refrigerated
for 30-45 minutes to chill.
Then we can roll the dough into balls
and add them to a baking sheet.
(chill music)
(air whooshing)
Press them down slightly (thud)
and add the classic thumbprint.
I actually prefer to use the end of a spatula
because it's a little bit easier and more precise,
then spoon in that jam and into the oven they go
until brown on all sides.
Wow!
It is amazing that without any flour
we can make such a rich and satisfying cookie
thanks to that peanut butter
and paired with the jam, it's a perfect combination
of course, but the most awesome part
is that you would never know these cookies
are lower in sugar and calories
thanks to Truvia's Sweet Complete.
I know that some people are hesitant about stevia
because it can have an after-taste and I typically am too
but because of the blend of stevia leaf extract,
chicory root fiber, and erythritol,
somehow Truvia was able to nail it.
It tastes delicious and I was honestly
really impressed with this product.
Next, we are making one of my favorite treats buckeyes.
Some people turn to these during the holidays
but I think they are too good
to only have during one season of the year.
The five simple ingredients are peanut butter,
softened butter, vanilla extract,
Truvia Confectioners Sweetener and chocolate chips.
Mix together nut butter, softened butter,
vanilla extract and Truvia Confectioners
which again measures cup for cup
like traditional confectioners sugar in recipes
but provides zero calories.
So, you can use it to lighten up any frosting,
glazes, or fudge recipe that you already love.
(chill music)
And roll that goodness into balls
and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment
or wax paper.
(chill music)
Add a toothpick to the top of each ball
(chill music)
and freeze for 30 minutes to an hour.
(chill music)
Before removing from the freezer
(whooshing) melt your chocolate chips
in the microwave or using the double boiler.
I prefer milk chocolate but dark is of course fine too.
Dip each frozen peanut butter ball
into the chocolate leaving a small bit
of that peanut butter ball exposed at the top.
Then you can transfer to a cookie sheet
and remove that toothpick,
smudging over that hole if you want to,
totally don't have to,
and then refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
Holy Moly, I recommend making these for a group
because you are gonna end up with a lot of them
and they're a little bit too delicious.
Buckeyes with butter are where it's at.
I know it can be done without, I've done it,
but I like the real deal
and part of what I love about Truvia is they agree,
there is no one way to do wellness.
If you're listening to yourself
and you're doing what feels true to you
then, yeah, you're doing it right.
For me, that means butter in my buckeyes
and milk chocolate instead of dark.
Truvia's Confectioners Sweetener lowers the calories
and the sugar anyway without complicating the recipe
or compromising the taste.
For my healthy journey, what's worked for me is finding
a balance where it doesn't have to be all or nothing
but instead a middle ground that supports the lifestyle
that I want without feeling limited or out of control.
I am most excited for this last recipe,
Strawberry Shortcakes!
(electronic music)
The five ingredients are strawberries, of course,
Truvia Sweet Complete, self-rising flour,
heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Self-rising flour already has the salt and baking powder
mixed in, so it's an ingredient
that let's you skip a couple of steps.
Toss your strawberries in a bit of Truvia Sweet Complete
and set aside.
(electronic music)
Separately, combine flour and one tablespoon
of Sweet Complete, then add in some of that heavy cream.
I prefer to use a wooden spoon until a lumpy dough forms.
You don't want to over mix this.
Then let the dough sit in the fridge for a couple of minutes
and then you can divide it (thud)
into pieces for your biscuits.
On to a baking sheet they go (whoosh)
and I do recommend brushing the tops
with a little bit of heavy cream.
Not a mistake.
Then they go into the oven
and bake until they begin to brown on top.
In the meantime, whip up the rest of that whipping cream
with your hand or stand mixer,
along with another tablespoon of Truvia Sweet Complete
or you could actually use the Truvia Confectioners here too
and some vanilla extract.
(electronic music)
When the biscuits are out of the oven split them open,
top them with strawberries and cream, and enjoy.
Oh my gosh, those biscuits though.
Actually, I need to bring your attention
to the fact that those biscuits
were only three ingredients and are delicious on their own
but of course the fresh whipped cream can't be beat
and neither can those sweet strawberries.
This was like my favorite dessert from childhood
and so it was really fun to bring it back
with simple ingredients and lightened up.
Truvia Sweet Complete and Truvia Confectioners Sweetener
are both available now on Amazon
using the link in the description.
They both taste great and are easy to incorporate
into the recipes that you already love.
I hope you found these five ingredient desserts fun.
Let me know which one you wanna try most in the comments
and I also wanna know,
how do you find balance with your health journey?
What compromises will you make or not make?
I love butter and milk chocolate
so those ones are gonna stay with me.
Thanks for being here and thanks to Truvia
for sponsoring this video.
I will see you next week and remember
it's all a matter of Mind over Munch.
