If you like the popular Parmesan Crisps, you’re going to love the recipe I’m sharing today. It’s a dressed up version of low carb cheese chips.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I’m bringing you a nutty cheese crisps recipe that you’ll want to share with your significant other.
Since chocolate is one of the foods that goes with love, it’s drizzled on top of these crispy low carb treats.
But, you can certainly leave it out if you prefer. The drizzle really dresses them up, though.
The crisps can be formed into any shape you’d like. Either free formed or using a mold.
And, feel free to use your favorite cheese. Mine are made with Edam and sharp cheddar which are my faves.
Looking to give your Valentine something a little different this year? You must make up a batch of these nutty cheese crisps recipe.
To make the heart shapes, it’s best to use a silicone pancake mold, but the standard non-stick kind work too.
The great thing is that you make the chips in any size and shape you’d like. I think these would be great to serve at Christmas too.
You can also change up the nuts and even replace them with seeds if there’s a nut allergy. However, I think the almonds and hazelnuts are a great combo in these nutty cheese crisps.
Need some idea’s for a romantic dinner at home to serve your Valentine? I’d recommend some keto lasagna served with low carb breadsticks.
For something a bit quicker, you could try the chicken and shrimp stir-fry.
Another one of my favorite meals for two is a steak salad. My husband doesn’t like spicy so I make his with regular ranch dressing.
