I had a big failure just now with Truvia. I’ve been craving chocolate - specifically I was jonesing for a deep chocolate fix. I haven’t had anything sweet or high in carbs since my dx this February. Unless you count sugar free jello pudding (not very tasty and not worth the carbs).
So, I bought unsweetened Ghiradelli chocolate, heavy cream, and eggs with the intention of making sugar free Chocolate pots de creme. I sweetened the darn thing with 12 packets of Truvia which is supposed to equal 1/2 cup of sugar. First off, the texture was weird, more like mousse and kind of grainy too. But it wasn’t sweet at all; it was kind of bitter, actually.
Chocolate pots de creme is an overly rich and satiny smooth dessert. You don’t need much to get a good chocolate hit. This fiasco was just plain awful.
