I always mix too. I've been using erythritol and Tagatose as my primary sweetener for most things. I use 1/4 cup plus 2 tbl erythritol to 1/4 cup Tagatose for 1/2 cup sugar equivalent. I haven't tried using Tagatose alone for anything. Sometimes I'll throw in some other sweetener just because I have it but I'm pretty happy with that combination since it seems the closest to sugar to me.

I made a ridiculously fantastic blend with this using 1/2 cup of tagatose, 2 cups of Now Foods erythritol and 1t of NuNaturals stevia. It was absolutely perfect and I plan on using it today to make the yellow cake in the Fantastic Flour thread. I made up an additional batch of the above and added 2T of molasses and blended it in a food processor so I now also have a brown sugar blend. It is perfect when blended and I don't have to worry about reaching the GI threshold!!

I am sad as this gave me gastrointestinal distress. I so wanted this product to work as I am not that fond of erythritol.

And, I wanted it to work because I love caramel!

I will tell you you will love erythritol in the above recipe! Zero cooling, really tastes better than sugar but it is a financial investment as 2 1/2 pounds of erythritol is $15, the stevia is about $15 and the tagatose is $10 but the stevia will last you the rest of your natural life!!!

I am hoping to bypass this in my blend where is is only 1/4 of the total volumn of the sweetener. I just made it today. Who knows, I may be ready for my colonoscopy tomorrow!!

I feel so lucky that I don't have trouble with tagatose.

I made a vanilla pecan syrup this morning to have with BTF pancakes. Sorry didn't measure, I'm terrible about that. I just put some tagatose and erythritol with butter in small pan and melted it. Added a little water to thin it out and make it less of concentrated sweetness. Then added vanilla a little at a time until I liked the taste, very little gluc to thicken slightly and chopped pecans. It was so easy to throw together and sooo good.

Do you have trouble with malitol? I cannot do malitol!!!

Oh Yes...bad. If I have even a bite of something with it, I don't dare leave the house.

My sister can't tolerate Tagatose and it hits her within 15 min, we found out recently

I'm going to have to try this. I've been buying Swerve but I can get erythritol cheaper in bulk at Bob's Red Mill store. I started using Swerve because no cooling. That minty toothpaste after taste just ruins everything for me. Swerve doesn't have it. I know I can mix Erythritol and inulin to get rid of the cooling but it doesn't seem to work as well when cooking with it.

I can send you a sample of what I made if you want to taste it first!

That is so sweet of you to offer

but I have to go to Bob's anyway for my BTF supplies. I'm going to get me a little bit of the toothpaste erythritol there and I'll try your sugar combo. I have the tagatose and the stevia - the same stevia too.

Try the recipe above. I think it is perfect!!

Did you have any problems Cindy? Also, I wanted to ask if you've baked anything with your sweetener mix. If so, did you have any problem with over browning?

You follow the Fantastic Flour thread, right? I posted pics of a cake I made yesterday. The top is brown but nicely so. I used 1 cup of my sweetener mix which would contain 1/4 cup of tagatose. Nothing excessive. In this amount, no GI distress but I haven't found my threshold yet!

SCOTTSDALEJULIE · 03-01-2013, 10:06 AM

Cindy, do you measure it cup for cup of sugar?

I do. The yellow cake on the Fantastic Flour thread calls for 1 1/2 cup of sugar but I only used 1 cup. It really should have been 1 1/2 cups as the cake was nice and lightly sweet but not sweet like yellow cake. To get it closer to yellow cake, I think you have to bite the bullet and use the full 1 1/2 cups. The sugar sub is the most expensive thing in the recipe!!

Oh yes. That flour thread was what got me started posting - I was so excited about it

After I posted this I saw your cake on that thread. The browning on the top of your cake looked better than mine. I don't know if it's the sugar mix or my oven but I am definitely going to try your mix.

Thanks, Cindi

Received my 5lbs of Tagatose yesterday, first I made a cup of hot tea - sent me straight to the bathroom within about 15 minutes. I was crushed because it was sooo good, just like a cup of tea with real sugar. This morning I had a cup of coffee with SF Cream and Tagatose and only mild tummy issues, not like the first time. I'm hoping it stay's that way because I REALLY like this product, it really is sugar. I love it.

I agree on how yummy it is.

But I absolutely cannot use it. I am so sad....

Tagatose + table cream = sweetened condensed milk

That is all

Lucky you. I am St Patty's green with envy.

For me, Tagatose +table cream =

Callieco, that is brilliant! It will even carmelize. Sorry, Sungoddess, that you can't participate without pain and suffering.

I am so happy you wrote this. Now I can make this recipe:

1 graham cracker pie crust
1 pkg unsweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
In a medium bowl, mix condensed milk and Kool-aid until well combined. Fold in Cool Whip and spoon pie mixture into the graham cracker crust. Garnish according to flavor. Chill for 2 hours and serve.

Of coarse I will do an almond flour crust. Now will you give me the amounts of T and Cream? Thank you. Once I get this, I will make this pie and let you know how it turned out.

Wow! Brilliant!
I wasn't sure I was going to order more Tagatose. But this sealed the deal. Closest thing to condensed milk I've ever tried.
Thanks!

How much tagatose per can of crema are you using?
