Guest guest Posted May 13, 1999 Report Share Posted May 13, 1999 - You can use Splenda in place of sugar - same amount, doesn't matter if you use it for cooking - comes out tasting great. My husband thinks the Splenda tasted sweeter than sugar when he tasted it by itself; I thought it was a little less sweet - probably meaning it is about as sweet. Anyhow, you asked for recipes. These are a couple standbys I tried this past week with Splenda. Angel Pie {From Fannie Farmer Cook Book] Butter a 9 " pie pan. Set the oven at 275 degrees. [i Pamed the pan] Beat until stiff: 4 egg whites 1/4 tsp salt [i used Mrs. Dash] 1/4 tsp cream of tartar Beat in a spoonful at a time 1 cup granulated sugar [i used 1 cup SPLENDA] 1/8 tsp vanilla Spread in the pan, having the edge higher to make a rim. Bake until dry and firm to the touch but not brown (about 1 hour). Turn off the heat and cool in the oven with the door open. Spread with 1/2 cup cream, whipped Let stand several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Cover with filling. Spread with 1/2 cup cream, whipped but not sweetened. NOTE: I used Cool Whip instead of whipped cream. For filling I used sliced strawberries. I shaved some baker's chocolate on the top of the Cool Whip. Tasted great! --- I got the following cheesecake recipe from the General Foods International Coffee Recipes website: Mocha Cheesecake 2 pkgs (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup Sugar 1/3 cup General Foods International Coffees, any flavor 2 eggs 1 prepared graham craker crum crust (60 oz) Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix cream cheese, sugar and flavored instant coffee in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until well blended. Pour into crust. Bake 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Makes 8 servings. Note: I substituted 1/2 C. Splenda for the sugar. As to refrigerate 3 hours; my husband was too hungry. We had it still warm for desert - it tasted good. Didn't notice any difference between using the sugar and splenda. If we had had 8 people waiting for a serving, they would have to have eaten it immediately, before certain people went back for seconds. It tastes good, especially if you're nuts about cheesecake!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 1999 Report Share Posted May 19, 1999 No they are two different things. Splenda is made from sugar. It's real name is sucralose. But it isnt absorbed b;y the body like sugar and is safe for diabetics. Stevia is a plant. I've never tried it but most people sa;y it has a kinda licorice taste.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 1999 Report Share Posted May 24, 1999 Hi Shei, Splenda is a sugar substitute that is made from sugar (chemical name is sucralose) You can cook with it without getting a bitter yucky mess It tastes like sugar - no icky undertaste. And doesn't seem to have any of the side effects that Equal (nutrasweet) does for some folks If you can't find it in stores near you, you can order it from the net... just do a search on it. You've prolly had 10 people send you the addy for it by now Meenie Splenda > > >Hi Everyone, > >I am relatively new to this list.
