No matter. One of the first keto blogs I found was ruled.me. I love all the info I found there and the recipes are amazing. The recipes have nutrition data broken down by ingredient, which is super insightful.
These were quick to make. Yes, the oven time is for-ev-er! but get over that. Set the timer and cook supper. You'll have a fancy, creamy, sweet dessert and your kitchen will smell faintly of caramel- what's not to love about that?
If you're my mom, the "not to love" is the lack of a crunchy, sugary top. "If you just sprinkle a little bit of sugar on the top..." No. No sugar for you! Even without the crunch she liked it. The twins ate all the green stuff on their plates to get at them and thought I should make more.
The color on the top of mine was an accident. Mom said it looked like I'd broiled it, so the taste and the visuals were right. She just can't get over that crunch. I'll see if there's a workaround for that. But I'm not in a great big hurry for it.
Two other notes: I made some changes to the recipe. I opted to use maple extract and xanthan gum and I used Swerve in place of the erythritol and stevia. And secondly, to the taste. I ate a bite of this and didn't drink anything afterward. About 5 minutes later, I had a funky aftertaste that I didn't notice at dinner. I guess my tongue still wants the real sugar, even if my brain has stopped craving it. These were great with coffee and there was no aftertaste at dinner.
