Re: Tina/Hi/Lynne's Low-carb Chocolate recipe

[Guest guest]

Tina.

You sound like your doing great!! Keep up the good job!! You are pretty

creative in the kitchen, I wish I had some of that! I was always such a picky

eater when it came to vegies, I can not believe I am eating Zucchini and

Asparagus now!! My Mom doesn't believe me!!! LOL You know they actually

taste pretty good, but I told her I would have to get used to it!! LOL

I made the Chocolate I posted yesterday, I think I did it wrong, it said 8

packets if equal, and I didn't have equal, I have Splenda in the box. So I

used 8 teaspoons thinking that was equal to the equal, I guess I was wrong

cause it still tastes bitter. ANy one know what I should have used???

Here's my best WAG: If you were supposed to use 8 packets of Equal, that is

theoretically equivalent to 16 teaspoons of sugar. I think the bulk Splenda

says you should use/measure it " just like sugar. " Sooooo, I would use 16

teaspoons of Splenda. Actually, now that I think about it, I would probably

look in my old Joy of Cooking under equivalents, and figure out what 16

teaspoons of anything would be equal to in cups (quarter? half? third?)

Good luck!

you have to use a brand that you can use in cooking ,most will turn

bitter with heat. that chocolate recipe is tempting I am waiting til

over the 2 week intro to try it though is tempting!!! I am a

chocoholic besides a carboholic!!!!LOL If you use the sugar free

puddings and use the cream instead of milk will htat be ok????? just

thinking of a mousse !!!! when speaking of whipped cream do they mean

the stuff inthe dairy case Heavy whippin cream or something else??? just

wondering

thanks for all your support and encouragement!!

Splenda is heat stable and that is why I love to cook with it. The only

problem Penny is that the box of Splenda is less concentrated than the

packets. Plus, I just don't think that Splenda has the sweetness of other

AS. I made a pumpkin cheesecake last night and it called for 16 packets of

AS. I used Splenda and when I tasted the batter it was still bitter, so I

added another 8 packets. I guess you might just have to use a trial and

error method until you find what tastes good to you.

Tina,

Splenda is suppose to be good for cooking.

Also I use Redi-whip in the spray can, it is <1 carb per 2 Tablespoons.

should chunk it up and make cookies.
