Let’s talk about mascarpone cheese!

For this cookie dough, we combine butter with mascarpone cheese to make a creamy and delicious cookie dough. Mascarpone cheese is similar to cream cheese in appearance and texture. They’re also both made from cow’s milk. They do have some distinct differences as well. Cream cheese originated in America and mascarpone cheese originated in Italy. In terms of taste, mascarpone is a bit sweeter while cream cheese has more of a tangy taste. Cream cheese is a bit firmer in texture, while mascarpone has a creamier texture. The biggest difference between the two is the amount of milk fat each contains. The fat content of cream cheese is typically 30-40%, while the fat content of mascarpone contains approximately 60-75% fat. You can substitute cream cheese for your cookie dough, just make sure to use full fat cream cheese.

What other ingredients go into our edible keto cookie dough?

To our butter and mascarpone cheese, we add almond flour, keto powdered and brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and keto chocolate chips. Yum!😊For both my sugars, I used the Swerve brand. They contain zero calories and zero net carbs. And they’re delicious. One of the other wonderful things about Swerve, it that their sugars are similar in sweetness to regular sugar so it’s easy to substitute it into keto dishes. I love the addition of vanilla and salt as they both add flavor and enhance all the other flavors in this cookie dough. There are some great options for keto chocolate chips. For my cookie dough, I used Lily’s semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can substitute with your favorite brand. You can also use dark or milk chocolate if you’d prefer. Another option you have is to chop up your chips a bit if you’d like smaller pieces for your cookie dough!

Is this edible keto cookie dough difficult to make?

This cookie dough is incredibly quick and easy to make. You’ll want to start with using softened butter and softened mascarpone cheese. I like to beat these together until they form a creamy mixture. Then you’ll simply add the almond flour, both sugars, vanilla, and salt and beat until all ingredients are combined. I like to add my chocolate chips, then beat the mixture just until the chocolate chips are evenly mixed into the dough. You can also stir them in if you’d like. At this point, you can either eat your edible cookie dough or refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve it. If you’d like, you can also form it into about 16 cookie dough balls. If so, you’ll want to chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before making your cookie dough balls.
