I would do anything for a key lime pie!!!
Concoct something with the flavour it will hit the spot.
I love mince pies and truly worried that I may not be able to resist them.
This year I have bottom lined them amongst other food vices.
They appear to be ubiquitous since last week.
I then remembered that I had bought some Xmas pudding flavour essence on Ebay, and it was sitting in the fridge.
I decided to make something.. This was more in hope than expectation, of being able to replicate the joy, I use to derive from 'inhaling' loads of mince pies.
I mixed
30ml double cream .5g carbs
250ml Asda long life Almond milk - Unsweetened (for me it has to be this particular one. Its slightly thick for want of a better description, and enhances the creamy mouth feel of the finished product).5 carbs
200 ml water
Nescafe Azera. 1g carb (its actually .8, I round up to the nearest whole number)
Splenda tablets to taste (they have no/negligible carbs) .4g carbs
Xmas pudding flavour essence to taste ..start with 2 drops its potent.
Mix well
Nuke for 2-3 mins or until the coffee mixes thoroughly into the liquid.
It hit the spot. Its creamy, its silky, Its warm, rich, without any adverse impact on both BG or Blood Ketones
It reminded me of times past....Pre T2DM Dx
You may also mix some keylime pie flavour into cream cheese sweetened with dissolved sucralose tabs.
I use the Aldi full fat soft cheese its a paltry 1.8grams of carbs per 100g
.You will find Keylime pie flavour listed on eBay
