I use it in coffee, that's all. But I use quite a bit.
Truvia seems to dissolve into the ice cream mixture, so no crunchy texture.I use Erythritol but it doesn't dissolve in brownies, leaving a crunchy texture so I have to heat my coconut oil up to hot and mix the Erythritol in so that it dissolves before I let it cool and make the brownies. Also for bakers, note that this sweetener does not heat up in cake when it's cooking so won't cook it as fast, so they need longer.
Hi all. I don’t often reply to things but read a lot!! I researched all sugars when first diagnosed with T2 about 4 years ago. I settled on erythritol and have used it ever since for everything. It is not the cheapest but is very economical on the whole. I find that in recipes I never use the full recommended amount as it is very sweet. In brownies etc I use the powdered erythritol which is perfect. In drinks I don’t use anything but my hubby uses it quite happily. So in short I fully recommend erythritol. For anything extra where powder or granules are not practical I use Stevia liquid. I hope this helps. Love the forum! Kate 43MAnyone recommend one? Im using canderel currently...

Im finding out the same thing.Since my palate has adjusted to less sugar,a little now goes a long way.Found exact same thing when I cut the processed foods loaded with salt,now a bit of salt delivers intense flavor.Very cool!I find that in recipes I never use the full recommended amount as it is very sweet.
I tried stevia ONCE! Never again... 'XyloSweet' comes in handy little packets. It is great to keep a few in your handbag, manbag, or just stuffed in pocket. It is 100% Xylitol and never leaves an after taste. Plus it's 0 carbsWhat I keep reading is that stevia is the least bad fake sugar since it is a plant. Candarel = maltodextrin (does affect insulin) + aspartame + acesulfame potassium.
