Anyone ever use natural butter flavor?
I just posted this to rec.food.cooking and thought it might interest
folks on this NG: On Apr 9, 7:52*pm, Bryan wrote: The company seems pretty reputable, looking at their website. *I wonder how it tastes and how concentrated the flavor is. *I'm thinking a frosting made with cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, vanilla extract, butter flavor and sucralose, with a neutral oil (pecan maybe) added in sufficient amounts to achieve the right consistency. Frosting for what? *How about this recipe? Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes Ingredients: * * 2 cups pecans (in response to one of the comments, don't use salted pecans!) * * 1/3 cup cocoa * * 1 t baking powder * * 1/4 teaspoon salt * * 4 eggs * * 1/2 cup (I stick) butter, melted * * 1 teaspoon vanilla * * 1/4 cup erythritol (optional) * * Artificial sweetener equivalent to 1 cup sugar I use zero-carb liquid sweeteners . * * 1/2 cup water Preparation: Heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 8 or 9" round pan or springform pan. 1) Process pecans in food processor - pulse until they are meal - but they won't get quite as small as corn meal. 2) Add the rest of the dry ingredients and pulse again. (Note on erythritol: You can do this recipe with all artificial sweetener, but I've begun experimenting with partial erythritol, with success. I haven't tested all different combinations yet, though - it may be that more erythritol is even better.) 3) Add the wet ingredients and process until well-blended. 4) Pour into pan and bake. The exact time will vary with the pan. Start checking at about 25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 5) Cut when cool. If desired, serve with homemade whipped cream and/or chocolate sauce. Nutritional Information: Each of 8 servings has 2 grams of effective carbohydrate plus 4 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, and 334 calories. * * *source-- *http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/des...pecantorte.htm The butter in the recipe could be replaced by cocoa butter, again, thinned with pecan oil to the consistency of butter. *I'd also add twice the amount of vanilla extract.

The recipe for the chocolate pecan tart looks great. I just may give it a try. There's also link to a sugar-free ganache, so why not just try that instead of your frosting idea? And I find the best butter flavor comes from, well, *butter*.
