Sugar-Free Marzipan

December 23, 2012 By elviira 33 Comments

There are constantly great new low-carb products coming to the market. Well, many of them are unhealthy and full of artificial, weird ingredients. The main purpose of these products is not to make you healthy — the main purpose is to take your money. However, sometimes you find great, quite natural products which give some variety to the healthy low-carb lifestyle.

After finding a powdered sweetener consisting of erythritol and stevia there is no way back. It is sweet without the bitter aftertaste of stevia and it has only very little of the cooling effect of erythritol. I tried the sweetener in cooking and baking, and found that it makes really nice marzipan. This great recipe I want to share with you, my dear readers, and wish you happy holidays! 🙂

Sugar-Free Stracciatella Yogurt

November 17, 2012 By elviira 2 Comments

Stracciatella yogurt is vanilla yogurt with tiny chocolate chips or chocolate shavings. Stracciatella ice cream, yogurt, quark (curd) and alike are very popular especially in Southern and Central Europe. Usually these delicacies are very high in carbs and nowadays contain no-no stuff, like high-fructose corn syrup and cornstarch. Thanks to the grasping food industry, of course.

My recipe, however, is something else. First of all, this yogurt fun to prepare. Secondly, it tastes heavenly. Last but not least, it’s healthy! Just think about the probiotics in the yogurt gently nurturing your stomach while the antioxidants and flavonoids in the darkest of the dark chocolate give your strength and energy.

Now comes the best part: you don’t need more than 5 ingredients to make this dainty. If you would like to make things really simple, you need just 3. Please feast on!

Low-Carb Marshmallow Fluff Frosting

September 11, 2012 By elviira 38 Comments

Marshmallow fluff is not the easiest thing to convert into low-carb. Commercial sugar-laden versions have high-fructose corn syrup as main ingredient — which is really bad, bad, bad. And sticky. With low-carb ingredients you cannot get that sticky result, at least not easily. But since I’m not in favor of stickiness, I created this yummy airy, fluffy frosting as healthier low-carb alternative to fill and frost your baked goods.
