something sweet, not sugary, just sweet

Hey 4me4once,

I came up with something (I probably read it somewhere but don't recall where) that is legal for induction and just sweet and creamy enough to satisy me. I eat this usually about 9 in the evening. I use a tiny spoon and eat it slowly

This recipe makes 3 servings:

6 tablespoons heavy cream
6 ounces softened cream cheese
3 tablespoon DaVinci sugarfree (made with Splenda) syrup with Kahlua flavoring

Whip up the cream, add the Davinci syrup and cream cheese and whip some more (about 2 minutes)

I then pour this equally into 3 ramikins and cover with saran wrap and refrigerate. About 30 minutes before I want to eat it I put one ramikin in the freezer.

I take a small grater and grate just a dust of cocoa (from a cocoa bean) which makes it smell like chocolate.

I count each tablespoon of DaVinci as 1 packet of Splenda--the label says zero for everything but to this point (8 days) I have had no diet sodas or other sources of splenda so I think this is okay. I count 2 tablespoons cream, 2 ounces cream cheese and 1 Splenda serving. Yummy!!

Maybe this will hold you over until you can have carb-controlled cheesecake

How did I miss these!

Thanks ya'll! I will also try that recipe. I have been doing diet root beer with a splash of cream in the evenings for a rootbeer float kinda treat. But now that I have my divinci root beer syrup, I can do the sparkling water and make it without the aspertame.

Thanks for the warm welcomes!!!

The carbs in granulated/dry Splenda come from the maltodextrin, or bulking agent, they use in the pourable kind for baking and the packets have DEXTROSE (sugar) and maltodextrine. The DaVinci's uses liquid Splenda/sucralose, so it doesn't have carbs like the dry. I believe you would still count it toward your daily allowance of artificial sweeteners, though.

Sunny!

4me, Just like everyone is saying, you came to the right place! I am new also and have found loads of encuragement from this board.
For a sweet tooth there is a wonderful vanilla flan recipe is the Atkins Essentials book. It is pretty much vanilla, eggs, cream, and splenda. It's a little of a pain to make, but it is well worth it. I'll give you the recipe if you want it and don't have access to the book.
Good luck!

Thanks hun. I bought the low carb recipe book (Atkins) and am going to check it out. I don't like flan but my sister does and she has started Atkins too. So if it's not in that book, I will PM you. You are so sweet to offer..
