This link should answer your questions about Splenda and I suspect Fiona could tell you if it is available in the UK...

Thumbs up OMG!!

Karen, I just made this and I can't go on enough about how yum E. it looks. I can't wait overnight to taste so we will have some with dinner... Marscapone has got to be the greatest.. I could eat it right out of the container! More to come after we've sampled (ok, after we've sampled the whole thing... i've already tasted bits and pieces)

You know what's really good? Using half canned pumpkin for half the mascarpone, adding "pumpkin pie spices" and serving it for Thanksgiving. Aghhhhhhhhh!

I'm fooling around with a chocolate custard/creme brulee/puffy topped kind of thing today.

Thank God I have people over frequently so I can make LC desserts and keep well in touch with my inner sugar junkie. Oh, I'm also making butter chicken - similar to yours - and a cauli-rice pilaf cooked with coconut milk. I hope it works!

OK I realize n ow I never made it back to comment on the finished product. Must have been too busy eating it

Suffice it to say it didnt last past Tuesday. I can't take credit for devouring the whole thing though. I think I got about a quarter of it, Mr. Tiramisu on the otherhand must have had 2 servings every time he opened the fridge

Wonderful dessert, Karen. Think I'll be taking this one to a few Xmas parties this year.

Going to try the Bourbon, Chocolate and Burnt Almond “Ice Cream” Cheescake next. Yum E

Question Splenda question

I am dying to try some of the recipes. I hope this isn't a really dumb question, but when a recipe calls for Splenda, are they talking about the granulated kind or the packets or are they the same?

thanks

The splenda referred to is the pourable kind that measure cup for cup like sugar. If you're going to use the packet kind I think you'll have to do some playing around as 1/4 cup of that would be too sweet. Also remember that Sugar Twin in Canada is different from that in the US (it's made with cyclamates).

I haven't tried your recipes Karen. But I'm going to. What is mascarpone, and where do you find it? I just read about Splenda, so at least I know it's not asparatime. I may be able to make stuff for Thanksgiving that I will be able to eat as well as my Mom who is on Weight Watchers. I will definitely make my usual Pumpkin Pie for the kiddos, but if this stuff is good I may
get away with not cheating during the Holidays.
Plus, I love to bake. If I can find ways to be creative, in the kitchen and stay on Low Carb, I will be most happy! I appreciate your willingness to share your talent, Karen. Thank you!! Victoria

Look in the dairy case of large grocery stores and any Italian deli will be sure to have it. It usually comes in 500 gram containers. Check the label though - some brands contain sugar and other nastiness.

Same as the regular version, with rum extract, a pinch of salt and nutmeg added to the mascarpone mixture to taste.

Lightbulb finally....

got around to something that's been lurking on my mental backshelf, organizing and posting a Recipe for making Mascarpone (which drops the cost by about half over buying it and is a WHOLE LOT more fun... ok ok I'm a KitchenGeek!).

I'm going to be making your fabulous Tiramisu for Christmas, Karen, and I'll let you know how it turns out with the Homemade Mascarpone recipe!

Yum Yum.... I've got a flourless chocolate souffle roll recipe to try out after 'converting', too, with mascarpone and raspberry filling. This is the BEST part of Christmas...

So here's another question for the dumb question file!

What does the finished Tiramisu look like? I've never had it before but the description sounds delicious. Is it like a trifle or a mousse?

And I gather that the Mascarpone is a type of soft cheese?

I don't bake very often and don't have a lot of the equipment necessary but I'm becoming aware of the fact that I just might have to break down and start aquiring some things.

It looks like a trifle. If you make in in a high sided glass bowl it looks fabulous.

... and the mascarpone is like a cream cheese, only creamier ... kind of halfway between the texture of sour cream and cream cheese. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
