First attempt at sugar free merangues I used stevia.
Here is a link to recipe

Well, I take my hat off to you - I admire your meringue dedication, but wouldn't have made them myself even before the Big D hit. So am very impressed.
And thank you @lovinglife
I just assumed meringues were horrifically high in carbs because of the sweetness, but in small portions like you have them, they could be doable on a special occasion... brilliant.
The thought of low carb ones is awesome.
Surprisingly they are about the best "ordinary" pudding for me I find. Most puds outside the home have flour and sugar and maybe even honey, a meringue as part of a meal as a treat I can cope with - it's the flour in puds that is the danger I think. I also do ok with a bit of cheesecake don't eat the base as long as it's a fairly plain one.Well, I take my hat off to you - I admire your meringue dedication, but wouldn't have made them myself even before the Big D hit.

Cheers, but I think making meringues sugar-free and egg-free would be a tweak too far. One day though.Those look fabulous!
I'm just tagging @Avocado Sevenfold in here as she and I had a discussion about meringue some time ago, and she may be interested.

@Brunneria I like to use pecan crumbs in place of biscuit crumbs to make a sweet pie base.
Try erythritol as it does not have the bitter aftertaste and little or no laxative effect eitherThey taste a little bitter on their own and are almost hollow but once mixed with whipped double cream and strawberries it was OK and better than nothing. Will try other sweetners incase it's the stevia that's bitter.
M&S do an individual creme brûlée that has the sugar separate- the carb count is 12g if you use the sugar so about 6-7g if you don't- not bad for a commercial pud!yes, I go for a mousse, a cheesecake (minus base, although the deli down the road does an awesome cheesecake base made from chocolate covered popcorn), or cheese, or creme brulee, or go without.
Wheat is my nemesis too.
possibly even my Arch-nemesis...
