I had some fresh peaches from my orchard and decide to make some SF peach Jam.

I started out with 6 to 8 cup of sliced skined peaches and 3 T. lemon juice and cooked them down over medium heat in an enameled pot till they were about 3/4 reduced. Halfway through the process and then again near the end I added 1 T. thicken thin/not sugar mixed with cool water each time and then sweetened with sweetzfree to taste. the results was about 1 1/2 pints of peach jam.

Very yummy and very spreadable.


I then took a muffin recipe I made last April.

1 cup egg whites (approx 8 large eggs)
1 Tablespoon PolyD plus (I didn't have any of the unsweetened PolyD)
3/4 cup sweetener equivalent
1/4 cup almond flour
5 oz. Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (1 3/4 cup to 2 cups)
1 teaspoon vanilla


In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, PolyD, sweetener, and vanilla till stiff.
Fold in almond flour and coconut.
Spoon batter into 6 sprayed large muffin tins.

Bake in a preheated 300 oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until firm.

I started watching at 15 minutes and removed mine at about 18 min.

The toothpick came out clean but was moist.

3.25 carbs each.

Next time I make these I am going to layer a suprise in the midle like chocolate or pudding or fruit.

Coconut Maccaroonie Muffins with a SF Peach Jam Suprise



BTW, although this coconut made this batch of muffins dry, I made a chocolate truffle suprise for the middle that was heavenly.

I made enough for 2 batches of the large muffins.

3 oz pre-melted nestles unsweetened chocolate
1 c. equivilent sweetener(I used a mix of liquid splenda and erythritol)
1 T. polyD
1/3 c heavy cream

Mix all ingredients in a small mixing bowl then cover with plastic wrap and put in freezer for 45 min to 1 hour to set.

When set roll into balls and use to put in the center of your muffins.

Makes 12- 1 inch truffles.

After several days and 5 or 6 different version of isomalt brownies I kept thinking that they were all good but not near the same as the original ******ic brownies that I tried back in April. Even my DW who can usually spot a change in a recipe before I even tell her said: none of these are the same.
So I went back to April when I first saw Scott123 post Jackieba's version of the brownie (the one I originally tried) and it smacked me right in the face why it was not the same.

Jackieba's version used carbquik rather than carbalose.

With that said and 2 last tries......I have found my isomalt brownie.

Servings: 9 (3x3) brownies 5.5 carbs each (6 carbs w/pecans)
(these counts are using 24 carbs for the 1 cup of isomalt)

Wet

1 stick butter (salted)
3 ounces Nestle's unsweetened chocolate(pre-melted)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
25 drops sweetzfree (1 C. splenda equivalent)

Dry

1 cup Carbquik flour
1 cup granulated isomalt
1/4 cup granular erythritol

1/2 C. Chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.

Foil line a 9x9 pan.(I used an old 9x9 pan I have so I could get 9 (3x3) brownies)

In a large glass bowl, mix wet ingredients, whisking in eggs last.

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Slowly pour dry into wet while stirring. Fold in nuts if using.

Pour batter into pan and pound on counter a few times to get as much air out as possible.

Bake 75 minutes.

Hope you enjoy!

[Kevinpa]

I want to say up front that I did not intend to make icing only the cake. The icing is another day....

Ok Hook, here is 1 for you non glutten non nut guys.

I need to say up front that I am neither a soy or a whey fan but this cake was suprisingly good. It was not quite as moist as the other and a little more dense, but I really think you will like this one. My personal opinion is it is as good as the first one.

1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
1 cup soy grits
4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1/4 cup granular erythritol

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 cup heavy whipping cream

3 drops yellow food color
4 eggs


Mix all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
In another mixing bowl combine butter and heavy cream then mix with dry ingredients until well incorporated.
Combine eggs, vanilla, and sweetzfree then mix into the batter.
Pour batter into 2 well greased 8 inch cake pans.
Bake in a preheated 325 oven for 30 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.

This is another convert from my high carb days.
It started out as a pumpkin/coconut and then butternut/coconut and now whatever low carb squash I can find...

I made 8 mini loaf muffins.

Wet

1/2 c. Delicata squash pere'e (6 carbs)

1 egg (1 carb)
8 oz. Vanilla Almond Breeze (1 carb)
1 c. equivilent sweetzfree

1/2 t. baking soda
1 t cinnamon

Topping

2 T. Diabeti Sweet brown sugar (4 carbs)

Mix the wet ingredients into the rest of the dry mix until just combined.
Spoon batter into greased muffin tins (12 small or 6 large or 8 mini loafs).
Cut the cold butter into the set aside dry mix until crumbly and evenly top all muffins.

Adapted from a recipe on the packet of "Lucky" almond meal.

2 oranges
1 cup water
6 60g eggs
¾ cup sweetener*
200g/2 cups almond meal/flour

Preheat oven to 200ºC. Brush the sides and base of a 24cm/9 inch springform pan with butter.
Wash the (unpeeled) oranges, and place in a saucepan with the water and boil for 1½ to 2 hours (I did it for the full 2 hours). When time is up, cut oranges in half and remove pips. Place in food processor and blend to a smooth pulp.
Using electric beaters, beat eggs in a clean bowl for 5 minutes, or until thick and creamy. Beat in sweetener.
Carefully fold in remaining ingredients, then pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until cake shrinks slightly from the sides. If cake seems to be getting too dark as it cooks, cover top with foil.
When done, leave to stand for 5 minutes, then release the clip to remove the sides. Serve with berries and whipped cream, if desired.

*If using 2 different sweeteners, remember you will only need half as much sweetener in total. I used 9 Spenda tablets (equivalent to 3 N American tablespoons, or 45mL) and 45mL/3 NA tablespoons xylitol.

Nutritional info for whole cake, if using ¾ cup granulated Spenda:
Calories: 1913
ECC: 81
Fat: 143
Protein: 83

I easily got 10 slices, so that would give you 8.1 carbs per slice.

I opted to go a bit lower carb with my try of this cake.
Their were a total of 35 carbs in my version or 3.5 for 10 slices.

I followed the instructions exactly except you bring water to a boil and simmer for 2 hours.

This was my list of ingredients.

2 oranges
1 cup water
6 large eggs
1/2 t. baking soda
2 T. granular erythritol
2 T. ThickenThin not/Sugar
1/4 t. Sweetzfree (1 cup equivilent)
1/2 cup almond meal/flour
1/2 cup wheat protein isolate

It turned out a light custard/cake texture with a yummy orange flavor.

If you love orangy you will love this cake.

Ok, here is conversion #2

I made this for company dessert tonight.

This is one of the best LC chocolate dish I have ever made.

Dark Chocolate Cranberry Souffle (6 servings .. 8 carbs each)


3 separate measures of the following sweetener mix.
1/4 cup granular erythritol
1/4 teaspoon splenda quick pack
1 Tablespoon not/Sugar
1 teaspoon Brown Diabeti Sweet

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup raspberry davinci
3 large eggs. separated
6 oz unsweetened chocolate

Brown Diabeti Sweet(to coat ramikens)
butter, softened(to coat ramikens)

1. Coat inside of six 5-ounce ramekins with softened butter. Pour enough Granulated Brown Diabeti Sweet into one ramekin to fill halfway. Pour sugar into next ramekin while turning the first to evenly coat its sides. Repeat with all ramekins. Discard remaining Diabeti Sweet. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.

2. In a medium saucepan, cook cranberries and 1 measure of sweetener along with enough water to come halfway up cranberries until they pop and form a thick, jam-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Add raspberry davinci and cook 1-2 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Strain, making sure to press out all pulp.

3. Over a double boiler, heat cranberry puree with egg yolks, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly and reaches 140°F. Add chocolate and 1 measure of sweetener and stir until blended. Cool to room temperature.

4. In bowl of electric mixer whip egg whites until frothy. Begin adding remaining measure of sweetener a little at a time, and continue whipping until whites reach stiff peaks.

5. Fold 1/3 of egg whites into chocolate and yolk mixture until completely blended. Gently fold in remaining whites.

6. Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins, filling up to top. Soufflés can be baked right away at this point or kept refrigerated up to 4 hours until ready to serve.

7. Bake in oven preheated to 450°F with rack set to center for 10-15 minutes or until risen completely. They will be very brown on top, but still soft in center. Serve immediately.

When I made these I could have just added a couple tablespoons of peanutbutter to the above frosting but my DW who is lactose intolerant was feeling left out so the frosting that you see in the picture above was made with the following recipe for her benefit.
Both are excellent frostings in my opinion.

Peanutbutter frosting
1/2 cup Vanilla Almond Breeze
2 T. Carbalose (level)
pinch salt (1 quick twist on a grinder)

Put in a medium non-stick sauce pan stiring constantly over medium heat until thick. Cool in refridgerator.

In electric mixer

1/2 cup powdered erythritol
1 cup equivalent Sweetzfree or splenda quick pack
2 T. ThickenThin not/Sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 T. peanutbutter
1 t. vanilla

Beat until fluffy.
Add cooled flour mixture.
Beat until creamy

When I don't want to worry about refridgeration I use the following frosting. Keep in mind that you can adjust the amounts some to get the exact texture, sweetness, and flavor you want.

Frosting

2 to 3 T. butter or shorting (softened)
1/2 cup powdered erythritol
2 T. polyD
2 T. not/Sugar
1/3 cup equivilent splenda (8 drops sweetzfree) plus or minus to taste
2 T. warm water
1/2 t. extract or 1/8 t. flavor oil


wisk to combine
powdered erythritol, not/Sugar, and polyD
add warm water and wisk until creamy and smooth.....(no lumps)
add butter and wisk until combined and creamy.

BTW this is a thinner but stiffer frosting.

I used the following method to make the frosting except the quick pack got mixed with the dry ingredients.

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

My cake in a bag made a total of 6 pies. I made the first batch in the muffin top pan. Then the second batch I did on a cookie sheet as you did just to try that way. As you can see below the muffin top ones are much thicker.

The first batch I made on a muffin top pan and just came out of the oven.






Since my DW will be trying these I just went with the frosting I use for my chocolate sandwich cookies since itis non dairy. I did increase the shortening some to make it lighter and fluffier and whipped it in an electric mixer with a wisk attachment.

I had a request for chocolate chocolate whoopie pies with no dairy so I made a cake in a bag and used Chocolate Almond Breeze as a sub for the milk.

I then used the following as the filling.

1/2 cup Chocolate Almond Breeze

pinch salt (1 quick twist on a grinder)

Put in a medium non-stick sauce pan stiring constantly over medium heat until thick. Cool in refridgerator.

1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1/4 cup cocoa
1 splenda quick pack
1 T. ThickenThin not/Sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup crisco
1 t. vanilla

Beat until fluffy.

Most of the LC brownies I have made had the chocolate base of unsweetened baking chocolate, which is what I used to make HC brownies with. When I got good reviews for my zucchini brownies, which were cocoa based, I decided to try a straight cocoa brownie.
That was about 4 weeks ago. It took me about a week to come up with a recipe that I liked and the day I made them my DD stopped by and after trying 1 asked if she could take a few home with her. I told her ok as I always do and ask her to drop the rest off at my FIL's and a friend who test taste things for me. A week later, having not heard from anybody I called to ask how they liked them. I had to laugh when I found out nobody got any. I told them I would make more and I made the delivery myself. I heard back from both telling me how much they enjoyed them so I gave them 1 more test run and the opinions were the same.
This morning I got up and made a batch to photograph and post the recipe and my DD stopped by again. She asked if those were the same brownies and I said: "yes you crumb snatcher and keep your mitts off of them" and laughed.
Well, after she distracted me with several wedding questions she was off and I went to get my camera to take pictures, only to find when I returned that the entire batch had disappeared with her.

Anyway now that I have bored you with this long story, here is the recipe and an OLD picture from 3 weeks ago when I made the 1st batch.

Cocoa Brownies
Yield: 9 Servings

10 T. (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 splenda quick pack
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
7/8 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 t. salt
1 t. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup carbquik
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Preheat oven to 325 with rack on lower half of oven and line a 8 x 8 pan with non stick foil or parchment paper.

In a double boiler or in a mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water, mix and melt butter, cocoa powder, and sweeteners until mixture is smooth and hot to the touch.

Remove from heat and let cool to luke warm.

Add vanilla and mix to combine.

Add eggs one at a time and stir vigarously after each until chocolate mixture is smooth and shiney.

Stir in carbquik and pecans until they can no longer be seen.

Bake until a toothpick comes out slightly moist with batter from center of brownies. approx. 20 to 25 minutes.

Let cool completely on rack then tranfer to cut.
