:Cake roll recipe

[Guest guest]

Here you go , I just resent it from when posted it. You'd

probably want to stay clear of it until after induction.

This jelly roll type dessert is based on the Atkins_Support_List's favorite

leader and mentor Terry Ross' idea. I shared a piece with Cheri at work

yesterday and she liked it enough to ask for the recipe. Cheri has been

doing Atkins on her own now for quite some time and I hope that she will

check out our group sometime and decide to join us. As we all know, it is

so much easier with the support this wonderful group provides.

Atkins Cake Roll Dessert

by Vander Wert

9 large eggs (less 3 yolks) - 4.692 carbs

1/2 tsp cream of tartar - 0.922 carbs

5 packets Splenda - < 5 carbs (can adjust to taste)

4 ounces cream cheese - 3.016 carbs

1/3 cup sour cream - 3.274 carbs

1 cup Well's Blue Bunny Yogurt - flavor of your choice (made with Splenda)

- 14 carbs

1 1/2 cups whipping cream - 9.9 carbs

1 tsp. vanilla extract - 0.531 carbs

Separate eggs, putting whites into big mixing bowl and yolks into smaller

one (remember to discard three yolks for any other use). Let eggs come to

room temperature, then beat whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks

form. Add 2 packets of Splenda, cream cheese, and sour cream to yolk

mixture and blend. Take a portion of the stiff egg whites and gently mix

into yolk mixture so as not to break the whites down. Then add this

mixture to the remaining egg whites, again mixing very gently (does not

need to be fully mixed, streaky is fine). Pour mixture into 11 x 17 jelly

roll pan lined with well greased parchment paper. Bake at 300 degree for

50 minutes. Turn off oven and leave in for another 10 minutes with door

closed. Remove and let cool slightly. Cover with another piece of

parchment or waxed paper and roll in a clean towel until cooled.

Using well chilled mixing bowl and beaters, combine whipping cream, vanilla

and 3 packets of Splenda (or to taste). Beat until cream is nicely

whipped, but not butter.

Unroll " cake " roll and remove parchment paper carefully. Spread yogurt

evenly and top with whipped cream, then reroll. You have a wonderful

looking and delicious dessert that easily makes 11 nice size

servings. Maybe more depending on which direction you roll it and how

thick you slice it.

Total carb count is 41.335 or 3.76 per piece and absolutely delicious. If

you are more concerned with speed than beauty, just bake the Atkins rolls

and top with the yogurt and whipped cream. Taste is the same, but there is

something decadent about the look of the roll.
