Ultimate (hopefully) Christmas Thread - Tips, Tricks, "Hacks", Coping Mechanisms, Swaps, Recipes - Anything goes!

And my own Christmas complication is not my own lc - that's easy- it's the visiting 1 strict no nuts and 1 vegetarian and 1 no egg thrown into the mix. There are only 7 of us!!!
 
And, although it says use a saucepan the amounts are so small maybe a mug in a low microwave?
 
It only works!!! Challenge accomplished @Antje77 and thank you so much for the recipe @MrsA2 I added a little extra cream because the coffee taste was strong but it is the perfect 1 carb Baileys and will see me through Christmas and New Year.

I love this thread , I am beginning to think of Christmas with my son in Scotland , he’s a marvellous cook , and they do pretty well with the drink as well. Thinking every thing in very much moderated form .
good luck to us all xx

Do you ever have a food or drink you hate but wish you really liked Lol that’s Baileys for me - seeing this pic makes me wish I loved it, sadly I know I will never like it even a little hehe

I know exactly what you mean. No one believes I don't like vodka. I must have been told a hundred times that it is tasteless and I can't not like it but I can taste it and I don't like it!
 
For me before diagnosis I really wished I liked vegetables generally. I don't (my kids only found out after they were adults). Now- it's great. I do not miss carrots, parsnip, beans, capsicum, asparagus, celery... so I no longer wished I liked them. (unfortunately I do like potato, pumpkin and sweet potato).

Back to the thread. I usually make a pavlova for Christmas (one of a few desserts that are part of our families Christmas traditions). Does anyone have an idea of the best sweetener to use- we used something last year that was...not great so open to ideas
 
Keto Pavlova. I tried it once. Used Erythritol. It had no crunch just a rather chewy blob
 
Not sure if you tried the shop online? https://ketokitchenlytham.co.uk/sna...GfBBa8HjjNhoaMSifDR_cQLUfvg1edeEaAmDhEALw_wcB
