Re: My Greatest Recipe Creation to Date!

[Guest guest]

Crystal, you just may have sent me the recipe that will tempt my hubby back

into low carbing! He's a nanaimo bar freak and the first thing he bought

when he threw caution to the wind was a pack of nanaimo bars from the

bakery. I'll make those for Christmas and see if the thought of being able

to eat one of those each night could help him stay legal during the day.

I've never heard of nanaimo bars. Is it a regional

thing? The recipe looks very sinful, mmmm. I'll have

to print it out and take it to my MIL's house next

weekend.

thanks,

Definitely a Canadian thing. The original recipe is on the Bird's Custard

Powder can. I think that custard is more of an English thing. The original

recipe uses chocolate, butter, sugar, vanilla, egg, graham wafer crumbs,

coconut, and walnuts for the base, custard powder, milk, butter, and icing

sugar for the middle, and a thin layer of melted chocolate/butter on the

top. Just darned good!

Very often served for special occasions and at bake sales and church

suppers. I can't wait to try out the low carb version!

Pamela,

Nutrasweet also has carbs. Each packet has 1 gram, the same as for 1 packet

of Splenda. Most people find Splenda to taste more like sugar and it is

heat stable. Nutrasweet (aspartame) is not heat stable.

I think Nutrasweet has carbs, too. Doesn't it? It justhas less than a carb

per packet. We use Splenda because not only does it taste like sugar, it is

heat stable and can be used for baking and cooking! In the granular form it

also provides the bulk you need for baking.

[Guest guest]

Heat stable means it doesn't break down or get bitter during high-heat

applications, like baking or cooking.

[Guest guest]

You can cook/bake with it, not just use it to sprinkle or in pudding type

things..........Annie

Yummy ..Thanks for the recipe Crystal !

Anyone know if there is a SF pudding that is sweetened with Splenda?

I really prefer not to use aspertame sweetened products..

Thanks!!

Happy Holidays everyone !
