Well I have almost cut out sweets but once in awhile I need something. but
the problem is with my wacky food allergies I am pretty limited. My body does not like milk. though I can handle cheese just fine. I used to be fine with cream but now that seems to be out too. I was making pudding from cream and eggs and splenda and flavorings. well that's out now. so what sweet thing can I make without any milk products? not sure if I can eat cream cheese as I harder ever eat it. right now I don't want to try it as it takes several days sometimes for my asthma to stop bothering me when I do have an allergic reaction. I only so so care for jello. any other idea's? CHOCOLATE MERINGUE KISSES by Ishtar 4 egg whites 1 t. vanilla extract 1/8 t. cream of tartar 1 c. Splenda 3 T. unsweetened cocoa Preheat oven to 225. Put baking parchment on a cookie sheet. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add vanilla extract a few drops at a time and cream of tartar. Beat until meringue starts to look creamy and forms soft peaks. Add in Splenda a little at a time. Add in cocoa a little at a time. Put meringue on parchment paper cookie sheet by spoonfuls. (You can use a pastry bag and pipe them into cones like Hershey kisses, or flower shapes if you're good with that kind of thing.) Bake at 225 for one hour. Turn off oven, open oven door a crack, and allow to cool 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool away from drafts. Remove from parchment paper when cool. If you make smaller meringues, don't bake them quite as long, or they will be overdry and fracture easily. |

If you don't have problems with cheese, yogurt might be ok. There are many varieties, flavoured in many different ways. Regards David |

I dont know what plan you are following nor the amount of carbs you allow yourself. One of my favorite desserts is.. fried apple in butter (or in the same pan I just fried some sausage) with cinnamon and splenda (sometimes I add a few nuts). Pumpkin pie, without the crust, made with splenda is good also. essense "Steve Knight" wrote in message ... | Well I have almost cut out sweets but once in awhile I need something. but the | problem is with my wacky food allergies I am pretty limited.

You 'want' something. It's an important distinction. When you want something sweet... try sugar free ice pops. very true (G) it's just been pretty frustrating. I left out several things.I have allergic reactions to almost all carbs. grains, sugar and such. fruit is all I can tolerate. actually any treat would be nice. but I just can't think of anything. Well, since you can tolerate fruit, how about eating fruit when you want something sweet? I don't know what carb level you are eating at, but I remember you saying you were eating low-carb for health, not weight loss, so I am making the assumption that these allerges are the health problems you were talking about. If it turns out that you do have some carb-allowance you are trying to stay below, focus on relatively low-carb fruits like berries. It might help, especially if your sweet cravings are only once in a while. -- carla http://geekofalltrades.typepad.com/geek |

I only so so care for jello. any other idea's? How about some better jello? Try this with frozen fruit, it's fantastic: Get a bag of frozen (unsweetened) strawberries or mixed berries. Make up a box of sugar-free jello (or your own) Stir in frozen berries (you can decide on the quantity, but I like at least a cup). The jello will set more quickly because of the frozen fruit. When you eat the jello, it will be super tastey. My other thought for a snack would be pecans... melt butter in a pan, add pecans... sprinkle splenda & cinnamon on top.
