    Taz, I notice that you are doing really well on Atkins!!! If you are striving for ketosis this may knock you out. Also I don't see why you could not make this without the crust and just bake the filling in those cute little individual ramkin dishes (not that I have them...but you may!)

    I have not tried this recipe...if you do...let us me know how it turns out!!

    Be yummy with some sugar free whipped cream!!!

  • If you do decide to bake this in ramekins (little custard cups), bake them in a pan with boiling water around them as the filling really is a custard. This is called a "bain-Marie" for anyone who gives a hoot. The water surrounding the cups allows even cooking.

  • Thanx Peach, Thanx Ruth. I'm going to try it today and I'm going to use the H20 bath for the ramekins too. I do have several ramekins and they are small enough for what I consider one serving.

    I'm not worried about getting out of ketosis as Aspartaine doesn't bother me. I just need something sweet before I go hog wild and do something I'll be really sorry for.

    Thanx again
  • Yummy that sounds good. Wish I had some ramakins or some small dishes I would bake me some too....
