Thank you for the sugar substitute! These sound delicious! CJ
Hi CJ. So glad you like this one and that by the sugar substitute will help you. Enjoy it.
These look like little keto caloric bombs 🙂 I would definitely use powdered erythritol; I make that very often using a simple coffee grinder. It’s only that the amount of erythritol and how much one should be eating daily is limited; I think about 50 grams is the limit.
Great hope you will enjoy them.
I am not familiar with the amount of powdered erythritol but I found the following and hope this will help:
How much can I eat? There aren’t official guidelines on using erythritol, but most people can handle 1 gram for every kilogram of body weight daily. So if you weigh 150 pounds, you can tolerate 68 grams of erythritol a day, or more than 13 teaspoons.
How it’s used. You can use erythritol the same way as sugar. It’s fine to stir it into your coffee or tea, sprinkle it on grapefruit, or bake with it. Remember that it’s a sugar substitute and not real sugar, so foods that you bake may have a different taste or consistency than you’re used to.
I’d love to see the diabetic substitutions you mentioned as my dad is diabetic. Sugar-free chocolate is pretty easy to find, but what do you substitute for the powdered sugar? Would Splenda work for that? Looks yummy. Visiting from Senior Salon Pit Stop.
Hi Jennifer, Thanks for popping in and asking about the powdered sugar.
Yes Splenda is a good alternative and will work, but because Splenda is very sweet you will want to make a few adjustments for the best outcome. First, blend ¾ cup of Splenda with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Then only use ½ cup of this Splenda powdered sugar substitution for every 1 cup of regular powdered sugar. Hope this will help.
