If anyone makes this lemon cloud tart a few words. Firstly it is delicious. Even my carb eaters had it on Sunday and agreed it was really nice. Secondly it keeps well in the fridge. Last of it will be eaten today.
Very straightforward to make but be prepared for a weird base when it comes out of the oven. For the base you have to be very precise with the measurement of the butter. Mix it well and shape it into your flan tin. When it comes out of the oven it wobbles as the butter makes it a bit liquid. She right that the sides drop down but just let it cool a bit and ease them back up the flan dish. Quite easy to do. The base does harden but it takes a lot longer than 10 mins. It has to cool properly to firm up.
You can make the curd for the filling while you wait. Once the egg yolks go in keep whisking and take it on and off the heat - it is lemon curd you are making too much heat will cook the egg yolks.
I used xylitol sugar substitute.
Great dessert for both carb and non carb eaters. Gluten Free too.

Strange, isn't it. . I did once manage to get rid of it with intermittent fasting but sadly it wasn't gone forever.

Made with oopsie bread. This was a ham version. Yesterday's had chicken on it. Here's the oopsie recipe.

Looks lovely, I don't have time to make bread though

 

[Goonergal]

Pre-breakfast - couple of teaspoons of extra thick double cream: feeling unusually hungry on waking and that's usually a cue for my liver. Seemed to work a bit as went up only 0.6mmols to 6.7 from 6.1 on waking.

Breakfast - crustless quiche

Lunch - cold chicken left over from the weekend roast, salad

Dinner - sea bass fillet cooked in butter, with a squeeze of lemon juice; sautéed courgette and onion, washed down with a couple of teaspoons of cream

It ďoesn't really take that long to make. I make them usually when hubby is watching sport on the TV. Last batch took me about 30 mins tops to put together and get in the oven but I'm used to them now.

 

[michita]

Homemade tofu, made from soya beans !!!

 

[Brunneria]

Er... nuts.

Yup.

Nuts.

I sort of forgot breakfast. Work was chaos, so I nearly forgot lunch. And just grabbed a 200g bag of black pepper cashews that was just... kind of... lying there.

And then they all disappeared somehow.

And then it was suppertime and I had a small portion of crackslaw that I didn't really need...

so basically, it was cashews. Blood sugar spot on all day. Felt great. Wonder what tomorrow will bring...

I had a small portion of crackslaw

Hi maglil55
Mmm sounds really good. Can you please give the recipe for this lemon cloud tart as it will be my birthday on Thursday and I would like to make it for a dessert after tea instead of the usual fruit and yoghurt. It will make a nice change.

Two egg cheese and tomato omelette

Just had a cheese, mushroom and cherry tomato omelette for breakfast.

Here's pix of it cooking, I stuffed it up folding it over and broke it.
