Bee's Egg Drink ICE CREAM w/ and w/out ice cream machine QUOTE I received a request to post my recipe for ice cream on this site so here goes(I use a mini ice cream maker I bought from target) One serving: 2 eggs 3-4 Tbsp of coconut oil 2 Tbsp of butter juice of 1/2 lemon or less(can substitute vanilla or cinnamon etc.) stevia to taste Ok, first I crack the eggs in a blender and add the lemon juice and stevia. Then I take the coco oil and butter that I melted in a saucepan and poor it in. Simply blend and then pour into the ice cream maker. It takes about 15 to 25 minutes to make. The type of machine that I have requires me to freeze the container hours prior to making it. The result is a really creamy ice cream that is in my opinion as good as it gets :)Also, the ice cream on the sides of the container is usually too hard to eat right after its made, so I simply eat the ice cream thats ready and leave the rest to defrost and have as a snack later. If you want to share your ice cream, you should double the recipe to have enough. Hope you all enjoy! Best, Sarah QUOTE This was very good! Thanks Sara! Btw, I used the plastic bag method and it
worked great. I used the following recipe, but subbed in Sarah's recipe for everything in the small bag: What you'll need: 6 tablespoons salt 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc) 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag Ice cubes How to make it: Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag. Put [Sarah's recipe] into the small bag, and seal it. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy! This was my yummy breakfast this am! Dawn

Yes, it does, but you may have to add something to replace the bulk of the sugar. And sugar is an important part of the texture of some things so you can't replace all of it in some recipes. I'd stick with recipes from the stevia sites. Just remember that all versions don't have the same amount of sweetness in the same amount of volume so you may have to do some calculations if you aren't using the same brand/type used in the recipe. What could be added that might replace sugar effectively? I'm thinking perhaps an unflavoured soluable fiber supplement? There's usually suggestions on the stevia sites. Applesauce and mashed banana come to mind. And i've been thinking mashed garbonzo beans would be good in things like cookies because they are cookie colored, have a bit of a nutty flavor, etc.

This is defintiely not healthy, but this recipe has been highly recommended (apparently the caramel is to die for!!) and is suitable for vegans (if you're into that type of thing):
Twix Bars Shortbread base 1/2 cup vegan margarine: 1 cup flour (half whole wheat gives a nice crunch) 6 tablespoons sugar Caramel Filling 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons molasses 1 cup soy milk 3 tablespoons water + 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon butter flavoring (Optional) Chocolate coating: 2 cups vegan chocolate chips 2 teaspoon canola or olive oil Directions: Shortbread Crust: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 2. Combine all ingredients for shortbread and roll out into two 3 x 12-inch rectangles 3. Score each rectangle into 12 Twix-size pieces and bake about 15 minutes Caramel Filling: 4. Add sugar, molasses, and salted water to a small saucepan 5. Heat until bubbly 6. Meanwhile mix milk, cornstarch, and vanilla in a small glass bowl and add to the saucepan once it's bubbling 7. Stir constantly and heat again until it boils and the starch has thickened 8. Let caramel and cookies cool at bit, separating each cookie, and then spread each cookie with a teaspoon of caramel 9. Pop the caramel cookies in the freezer to quickly harden while melting the chocolate Chocolate topping: 9. Melt chocolate chips with oil either in the microwave or on low heat on the stove 10. Remove cool cookies from the freezer and spoon chocolate over each Smile! You have a hydrogenated-oil-free vegan Twix candy bar! working on this for a while (especially the caramel) and finally have it right! Makes: 20 bars, Preparation time: 10 minutes, Cooking time: 20 minutes |

QUOTE (meat_pirate86 @ Jun 22 2009, 06:30 PM) There are a couple of books out with recipes in which veggie purees are snuck into kid-friendly foods. These recipes make them from scratch rather than the box mix. One is by Jessica Seinfeld and think her book is called something like Deceptively Delicious. The other book is called the Sneaky Chef. Both have brownie recipes and others on their website. I'm pretty sure I've posted links here before, but maybe not because the recipes would still need to be adapted to reduce sugar. Both involve melting chocolate though. I prefer using cocoa. Edit, just looked for links and because of claims that Seinfeld possibly stealing the idea from the other author, she's posted links to several other books and a magazine that regularly posts similar recipes.

I found out though that is has hydrogenated oils... a big no no to stay away from.  Gosh darn it! I just had a Nutella-banana crepe  It was good  Guess what?!!! I was in a European market the other day, came across Nutella, decided to check the ingredients once more, and "no hydrogenated oils" were listed!!!!! Guess they changed their ingredients!! A lot of companies are becoming more aware and changing their ingredients. I was happy to see that Nutella had as well!! Still not considered a "health" food, but I'm sure an occasional jar can't hurt... I picked one up for old time's sake.... hehe

here's one from a low-carb site called Son of Grok
QUOTE Caveman Custard Dairy Free, No Sugar Added Custard Do you miss puddings and custards in your primal world? We have a local egg custard here known as “Flan” and for some weird reason, I have been craving it. Here is a custard recipe that I have been putting together. I finally got the proportions perfectly where I like them. If you like yours sweeter, all you need to do is add more bananas! This recipe is about as simple as it gets. Ingredients: - 2 bananas - 1 can coconut milk - 3 eggs - Cinnamon Directions: 1. Combine all ingredients except for cinnamon in a mixer and mix well. 2. Pour into custard or souffle cups (coffee cups or other oven safe containers work fine if you don’t have custard cups). 3. Sprinkle top with cinnamon. 4. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for approx 45 minutes. Custard will balloon a bit and you may see some liquid… its ok, it will work itself out. 5. Chill. 6. Serve and enjoy. This makes a tasty treat! Careful though… it is easy to overeat lol. also...no one has mentioned BACON yet. Nature's Candy Bar!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Energy Bars (LaraBar knockoffs!)
These are really handy to have pre-made and pre-wrapped for snacks or quick meals. What I do is take equal amounts of nuts like peanuts, cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts and raisins. I add in some cinnamon chips, chocolate or white chocolate chips and a bit of vanilla. Food process all the ingredients and you should get a thick paste. You can pat the paste down and cut into bars, wrap and refrigerate (these are GREAT for work or school). To make a fancy dessert, I'll spread some of my favourite yoghurt over the bars, drizzle w/ melted chocolate and freeze. These are SO rich and fruity yoghurt freezes really well, they taste too good to be healthy!! Anyways you can make tons of flavour combinations, check out LaraBar's website for more flavours (coconut lime, chocolate cherry, butterscotch, etc). They are SO expensive and it is cheaper and better for the environment to not have individually-wrapped snacks. I just keep a pan of these in the fridge and take one (or two) at a time in plastic containers that I wash and re-use. This post has been edited by meat_pirate86: Nov 3 2009, 11:30 AM |
