Splenda is a sugar substitute. See http://www.splenda.com/ > 3 how many percent fat is "heavy cream"? I don't know what it would be called in Sweden, but heavy cream in its raw form is what you get at the top of the milk jug after letting the evening milking stand over night. It's high in fat, but not as high in fat as butter.I don't know the figures, but that should be enough to know what is meant. -- Gregory Gadow http://www.serv.net/~techbear "If you make yourself a sheep, the wolves will eat you." -- Benjamin Franklin |

(1 pound=454 grams). Erika, you could substitute your Canderel for Splenda. Just add it after the butter and chocolate have melted. Use the stuff that measures like sugar. 1/3 cup is a 75 ml measure. Heavy or whipping cream has a minimum of 35% milk fat. HTH Vicki |

It too uses Splenda, but Canderel that measures like sugar would be a simple substitute. If you can't get sugar free pudding mix, you could substitute regular instant pudding, but it would increase the carb count. This recipes also uses some fructose. If you're using Canderel, just leave the fructose out. It helps to counteract the delay in sweetening action some people have with Splenda. Oh, Chocolate! from "More Splendid Desserts' by Jennifer Eloff 125 g light cream cheese, softened 4 oz. 150 g unsweetened chocolate 5 oz. 15 ml butter 1 tblsp. 1 - 40 g package sugarless chocolate instant 1 pudding mix, prepared 375 ml Splenda Granular 1 1/2 cups 45 ml granulated fructose (or to taste) 3 tblsp. In food processor with steel blade, process cream cheese for 2 minutes. In heavy saucepan, melt chocolate with butter over low heat. Do not overheat as chocolate will scorch. Add to food processor. Add prepared pudding, sweetener and fructose; process until very smooth. Spray a 9 x 13 inch (3 litre) pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour mixture into pan; cover the surface with plastic wrap and store in freezer. When chocolate firms up, if desired, score into 230 squares. To serve, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier cutting. Per 4 squares: 28 calories, 0.8 g protein, 2 g fat, 2.4 g carbohydrate, 0.4 g fiber --- I have found the serving size for all the recipes I have from this author are small. Vicki |

I don't know what that would be metric. One stick is 1/2 cup. That would be roughly 125 ml of melted butter or 115 grams. >>2 what is splenda? > > Splenda is a sugar substitute. See http://www.splenda.com/ Any sweetener that you like that can be heated will work. >>3 how many percent fat is "heavy cream"? Between 30% and 40% milkfat. Pastorio |

The serving sizes are unrealistically small. But the nutritional info is there, so you have to make the calculations based on what your serving size would be. There's a recipe in one book for Zucchini Almond Coffeecake. It's darn good. It's baked in a 9 x 13 pan and gives 24 servings. That 9 x 13 pan gives a cake less than an inch thick. It's foolish, I know, but I didn't write the book. Been reading you in the foodie ngs long before DM. You one of us now? Vicki |

I'm not diabetic, but foodie, I am. Just looking to see how other people eat and what they do with their food. I'm doing a lot of low-carb writing these days. Pastorio |
