Thankyou xxxxxThis recipe takes about 2 minutes:
Take a frozen punnet of berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, black currants, etc.)
Place them in a good quality blender (it is going to have to work hard, and you don't want to burn out the motor)
2 parts frozen berries, to
1 part double cream (aka Heavy Cream in America)
and some sweetener (judging the sweetener will take a bit of practice, and will depend on the brand)
Blitz.
Serve immediately (it will set rock solid if you try and freeze it for later)
A little practice and you can adjust the sweetness and the softness/hardness by tweaking the proportions.
It can also be done with frozen milk, chocolate pieces, and all sorts of other low carb ingredients.
Ooh liking the idea of tiramisu! Will investigate how to make that now as have never made it before, even in before diabetic life! Never made sorbet either. Assume I can make it in an ice cream maker? Another thing to investigate this evening.I'm going to have a bash at low carb sorbet this summer I think, I used to love a nice lemon sorbet. I'll post about it if the results are good.
@Mongolia would it be worth trying some of it as the base for low carb tiramisu (soaked in rum or brandy mixed with strong coffee)?
Ooh thanks Ewelina, will give this a try. Whilst looking at this I was inspired to make the chia seed pudding for breakfast tomorrow too. Time to start up those summer recipes again.Hope you will like this

I tend to just use a random amount of liquid stevia (it comes in different flavours; I'm currently using coconut) and add just enough to make it sweet enough.I'd love to make some of these recipes, but have never come across a sweetener that doesn't taste horrible to me. I can tolerate it in fizzy drinks for some reason, but it seems to taste so strong in any other foodstuff.

Try erythritol (or xylitol). No aftertaste and really similar to sugarI'd love to make some of these recipes, but have never come across a sweetener that doesn't taste horrible to me. I can tolerate it in fizzy drinks for some reason, but it seems to taste so strong in any other foodstuff.
Yeah, much as I love eggs there are some mornings when they really don't inspire me! Pancakes and berries good as an alternative if I have time but will have a go of your bread too as there are times when all I want is hot buttered toastI forgot about chia pudding!

Xylitol not safe if you have a dog though.Try erythritol (or xylitol). No aftertaste and really similar to sugar
