Wow! I just de-carbed one of my families favourite biscuit recipes and they taste divine..if anyone can work out the exact carb content,that would be great.I'm hoping and assuming by the ingredients that its quite low..they are so scrummy that i'm sure they won't last long around here!!
Anyway here goes {first time i've posted a recipe!!]
Lo carb Monte Carlos
185gms butter
24 crushed splenda tablets
1 egg
1 tspn vanilla essence
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup coconut
1 tspn baking powder
cream butter and splenda until light and fluffy,add egg and vanilla,beat well.
add dry ingredients,mix well.
Roll teaspoons of the mixture into 'marble' sized balls [I GOT ABOUT 54]
Put onto baking paper on cookie trays.Press down gently with fork.
Bake in a moderate oven {350} for approx 5-6 mins.
they should be a lovely golden brown..and taste delicous at this stage!
I turned off oven and when it had cooled a little,popped them back in to dry out and crisp up a bit. Remove from oven and cool on rack.
FILLING: cream 4oz of cream cheese with 5 crushed splenda tablets and a little vanilla essence.
Sandwich the biscuits together with the filling and a little sugar free strawberry jam. Deeelicous.
I have popped mine in the fridge in an airtight container. I hope they dont go soft..although i'm sure they will still taste yummy.
Hope someone can let me know the carb count on this
Thanks
