Can you please list your fave recipes made with DaVinci syrups, how to make them, and flavours to use....plus give me an idea of net carb counts?

I can't wait to order some and I'd LOVE to see what you can do with these syrups! Help me with many many ideas so I can enjoy these and know which flavours to order

The pancake and blueberry syrups sound delish for desserts! And, how do you make some yummy Frappachino's? Or Mochachino's? MMMmmmm...I'm craving these

I have only had the carmel...I like a tiny bit in my cofee....its tastes nasty to me if I use alot in something...I think it is very strong so a little goes a long way..

I also mix a little with some 0 carb mascarpone cheese that I found...it is rich and smooth cheese that is mostly all cream......when a craving strikes, I need only a tablespoon or so of that and I am ok It is more luxurious than cream cheese I think but tastes bland like cream if there is nothing in it to flavor.

I have been using the Cookie Dough and find that I need about an ounce in my coffee or it's not sweet enough. I like your idea with the mascarpone. I'll have to look for some as I don't recall ever seeing it at the store, however, I've never looked for that. I'm thinking, now that you mention it, that ricotta might be nice too

These syrups are quite hard to come by in the UK but I managed to find some on a low carb shopping site and so ordered a bottle. Not cheap at 5 pounds a pop. Anyway, the delivery arrived and I couldn't contain my excitement but man, I was DISAPPOINTED. The raspberry flavour is truly disgusting! It was so sickly, the aftertaste was pretty awful and the thought of it now just makes me ill. Did I get the flavour wrong here?

I've never tried the raspberry...I'm so sorry you didn't like it!

Personally, I couldn't live without my plain ole Vanilla DaVinci's! I use it in my coffee every morning. (Back in the day, pre-low-carb, my favorite thing was Gen'l Foods Int'l Coffee French Vanilla Cafe. LOADED with sugar.)

A couple Tbl. of DaVinci's Vanilla, some heavy cream, club soda and ice make an excellent "Ice Cream Soda." If you like chocolate, you can do the same with diet chocolate soda.

emslight: It sounds like either you should try a different flavor or that perhaps the syrup was too sweet for you? I hope you find a good use for it.

You might have

Try mixing it with cream cheese and natural peanut butter. I find it tastes like a peanut butter and jelly cheesebite snack. I personally don't like the rasberry - but sometimes I have no choice. I put a capful of either Vanilla, Caramel, B-52; and just a touch of my rasberry into my coffee each morning. It's less carbs then Splenda (1 vs 0) and here in Canada it's $10 a bottle so I here ya UK it is really my special treat. I pretty much use it for coffee or to sweeten an egg cream treat as well.
