Brownies

    Carol Sue these are them, much better than the black bean ones. I skip all the sugar free stuff and use agave and semi sweet choc. These turn out to be a rich mocha square of goodness, I usually add a small dab of real whip cream to each one before eating. (they are dense not fluffy)
  • Thanks, chickadeee!
  • Chickadeee, do you mean that you actually omit the sugar free caramel altogether, or do you use regular caramel? This sounds like a really good recipe. I never tried the black bean recipe because although I like black beans, I didn't think I would like my brownies to taste like them. White beans have such a milder flavor. Have you ever tried freezing these?
  • Carol sue, yes I omit the Carmel all together. I am in it for the chocolate and these are like a mocha chocolate, a bit dry but very flavorful. If you are looking for a sticky moist brownie, this is not it. But these hit the spot for a chocolate craving.
  • I don't know if you do Ricotta, but I have made a ricotta cheesecake with eggs in the past that was low carb and passable.
  • Recipe please Dairy Fairy, and please tell me I can make it without artificial sweetener. (I just can not do artificial sweetener)

    Thanks
  • I posted the recipe in here in the L.A.Weight loss forum years ago and I absolutely can't find it. > That was eons ago.

    I got it off low carb friends I think...Ingredients wise, it was like this:
    Ingredients
    2 cups low-fat ricotta cheese* (refer recipe below)
    3 pkts Splenda sweetener
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    2 eggs
    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 355°F/180°C.
    Mix ricotta cheese, sweetener and vanilla extract.
    Add in eggs gradually and continue to beat until smooth.
    Spoon the batter into 4 ramekins and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
    Serve warm.

    But if you like crust, there are lots of recipes with a walnut/butter crust. That would be off limits to me right now, but if your lifestyle works with that, that sounds relish. Sorry there is sweetener. I am not sure how to do without it. Consistency wise it would be ok, but I don't know how to sweeten it without the fake stuff that is still low carb.
  • I have also eaten savory cheesecakes, and I think this recipe would adapt fabulously to that. We ate alligator cheesecake at Prejean's cajun restaurant in Lafayette, LA. YUM.
  • Thinking on this one, thanks.
