The one I made was actually for my lunch club folk so it took no account of having to watch sugar content. It was mainly made up of strawberry mousse made with cream between Genoese sponge layers, so mostly cream with gelatine. Replacing the sugar with an artificial sweetener should work ok. You would need to adapt the sponge recipe, replacing the sugar with something like erythritol and using a nut flour instead of ordinary flour. Should work ok though.

I did find this keto raspberry mouse cake recipe - no cake with this. but there are lots of keto cake recipes out there, just google keto in front of what you fancy. The mousse below is made with cream , cream cheese and raspberry sugar free jelly. The mousse contains 3.3gms of carbs for a 1/12 slice https://www.officiallyglutenfree.com/sugar-free-raspberry-mousse-cake/ Mind you, its hardly worth making for such a small slice.


Apologies for derailing. Back to being good. .

5.5 libre:
naughtystep for a good few hours yesterday due to lunch choice still was a little elevated evening meal behaved myself just a small portion of dhall without anything else. returned to usual fasting levels around 3:30am this morning. yesterday was the first time the high alarm (13.9) went off for months max was 14.2 so guessing not too bad. appears that particular pastry alongside a starbucks large sugar free hazlenut latte is a little too much. most of yesterday afternoon and evening was still 'within range' 4-10 exception with the initial few hours and for a very short time after evening meal.

thnx for the link to the recipe @Ryhia going to give that a go would have to agree 12 servings ... doesnt seem possible :) 8 servings max imo... interestingly its very simular to the recipe i use for quick no bake cheesecake sponge instead of the biscuit base :) will let know how i get on with it

off for swim already had breakfast then a nice drive weather is pretty decent with some gaps in the dark grey clouds appearing :)
 
Got woken at around three by the low glucose libre alarm. I’m working with a new sensor which I’ve placed a little further around on my arm. As I was awake I used the loo then went back to sleep as levels rose

I’ve just woken and it’s gone nine a.m. what a sleep!

My glucose reading is currently five point nine.

I haven’t seen a morning five in a long time
