Re: Splenda

[Guest guest]

I bake cheesecakes with Splenda, and have used it in a non baked recipe

(Atkins cheesecake) as well. I use it exclusively at home, and when I make

my mother's sweet potatoe casserole for Christmas, I'll use Splenda in that,

too.

We only have the sweet potatoes once a year, so I don't worry too much about

that. The baked cheesecakes have about 10 grams total carbs to a serving (I

think). I'd be happy to share the (very easy) recipe, if anyone wants it.

Q.

What is SPLENDA?

A. SPLENDAR is the only no calorie sweetener made from sugar, so it

tastes like sugar, with no unpleasant aftertaste. It can be used virtually

anywhere sugar is used, including cooking and baking. The granular form

measures and pours just like sugar.

Splenda does not do everything - for example, we tried using egg white,

Splenda & cinnamon to whip up a topping and it would not stand stiff even

after 90 minutes of machine whipping. For specific limitations, consult

the Splenda 800 number or do their web page, think it is www.splenda.com.

But the nice part is you can bake with it or add it to stove-top

frosting makin's.

I always have the egg whites stiff before I add the sugar(splenda) and just

add it gradually.

I don't really know for sure, but it's my understanding that

aspartame can inhibit weight loss, so that's why I've chosen to

delete aspartame-containing diet sodas. Roxanne

I really haven't tested for this (don't use it much), but if you look

at the ingredients on your box of Splenda, you'll see that the first

ingredient listed is maltodextrin - a form of sugar. So, yes, if

you're using much Splenda you could get a rise. According to

Bernstein, Equal and Splenda are about 95% sugar in the form of

dextrin or maltodextrin.

Gee, Jacky, I don't get a rise at all. Another YMMV thing, I guess.

I have only had splenda twice, and both times I spiked high, but not for

long. weird.
