Result!
I haven’t got stevia so might have a go with erythritol. I have 2 egg whites in the fridge left over from mayo.
I adore Eton mess.
@DJC3 Egg whites, triple zero stevia - about 1/2 as much in weight as sugar in normal recipe. Put half of that in at first as normal. The other half you make like icing sugar using herb/coffee grinder and fold it in at the end before placing in the oven. We had a trial and decided this method was best. Erythritol weights will need trial. After a 1 hr dog walk bg @ 2 hrs was 4.8 as opposed to 4.9 after lunch - just before eating EM, so Eaton mess stays!
Thank you @Goonergal you've been inspiring my DN said I was underweight btw! I think I'm just right..... Also issues re cholesterol but that's another story!Congratulations @shelley262 - a fantastic result and very well deserved. Enjoy the fizz!
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream (2 tsp) washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: 2 x scrambled eggs with 1 slice of HiLo toast followed by Greek yoghurt and strawberries.
Mid-afternoon: Hartleys 10 cal jelly and black coffee.
Dinner: kedgeree made with cauli rice followed by chocolate and hazelnut Oppo with strawberries.
I have scales that have a mls setting. 50mls = one scoop according to Oppo’s blurbMay be a silly question but.... I have just purchased the Oppo ice cream- do you know how many grams is in a scoop? Or how many grams in the 100ml serving?
I am used to very big scoops of ice cream
Just had Eaton mess with LC meringues - like meeting a best friend from childhood after years apart. Can't say I don't care what the reading is after 2 hours but not too bothered. Who am I kidding?
Thanks for the information. One of the best points of making our own meringues is that it is a good way to use some of the 9 eggs a day we have and the whites are a perfect use for the by product of homemade mayo.Ianspurs - If I recall correctly, a standard supermarket bought meringue nest is only about 10gr carb, and I guess the little meringue shells would be much less, if a once in a while sweet hit is what floats your boat.

Evening all busy day today at mums about to have chicken salad and a bottle of fizz to celebrate my new hbac1 of 30!

Not the same, but this can in on an email today: https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/sugar-free-lemon-cheesecake-mousse/
And in the spirit of the thread, I had seared tuna steak tonight.
That cheesecake filling is exactly how I make it.
Double cream, cream cheese, and enough lemon and erythritol powder (I don’t use stevia) to get the flavour balance.
Same with lemon chia pud.
Mr B always says I use too much lemon.
Nonsense.
You can’t actually overdo it
Does the lemon juice with the cheese loosen it down, or thicken it? If I'd been making it up, I'd have added the citrus to the creat to make it thinker, a like like the Nigella's no churn Mojito Icecream.
I just have 50mls with two or three chopped up strawberriesI have just realised my scales have this setting! 100mls is a generous serving
