Crusted Cheesecake

Crust:

3 cups Shredded wheat cereal (the kind that is just whole wheat and nothing added) (for 1˝ cups crumbs)
˝ tsp cinnamon
2 tbs fructose (this is too small of an amount to use stevia)
4 tbs butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crush the cereal in food processor until quite fine. Combine with other ingredients, press into 9" square cake pan. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes. It will firm up after baking. Cool slightly before filling.

Filling:

2 8oz pkg cream cheese
2 eggs
dash of salt
1/8 tsp stevia (˝ cup of fructose)
1 tbs lemon rind
1 tbs lemon juice

Beat together until smooth. Pour on crust and bake at 350 for 15 - 18 min or until set. The lemon can be adjusted to taste. I usually put more.

After cooling, top with whipped cream (sweetened with fructose or stevia and vanilla) and fresh strawberries.

Low GI "Apple" Crisp

Recipe ByLynn Nelson

One of the toughest concepts of the Sugar Busters and other low GI diets is the limitation to consume fruit all by itself, not mixed with any other ingredients. Here is a mock Apple Crisp that is acceptable because it utilizes zucchini, a vegetable that has a low GI value. People never guess that this dish contains zucchini.

1 jumbo zucchini
1 cup fructose
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 Tablespoons 100% whole wheat flour

Topping:

1 cup 100% whole wheat flour
1/3 cup fructose
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup rolled oats (regular)
1/2 cup butter, melted

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. Peel and trim zucchini. Slice it lengthwise into quarters. Cut all the seeds out. Slice the zucchini into slices that resemble apple slices.
  3. You should have about 6 cups of slices.
  4. Boil the zucchini slices in the boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain well.
  5. Mix together the 1 cup fructose, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour. Sprinkle over the zucchini slices and toss to coat evenly. Place zucchini slices into a greased 8 or 9 inch square baking pan.
  6. Mix the remaining ingredients together to make the crumb topping.
  7. Distribute it evenly over the zucchini. Bake for 45 minutes, until topping is browned and crispy.

May be served warm, cold or at room temperature.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cup quick oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Stir first 4 ingredients together in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for one full minute after it reaches a rolling boil. Add the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir in oatmeal. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a wax-paper covered cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator to cool.

Low GI Pie Crust: Special K

Recipe By:  Lynn Nelson

Use this pie crust in place of graham cracker crusts. Fill it with puddings, gelatin desserts, or sugar free ice cream.

3 cups Special K cereal (for 1 1/2 cups crumbs)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons fructose
4 tablespoons butter, melted

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place the cereal in a plastic bag and seal. Use a rolling pin to crush the cereal into crumbs, turning and shaking the bag frequently to make a consistent crumb. You will have 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
  3. Pour crumbs into a medium bowl stir in cinnamon and fructose. Pour in melted butter and stir with a fork until well blended and evenly distributed.
  4. Press the crumb mixture into pie dish. It will not stick as well as a traditional graham cracker crust, just press gently. It will firm up after baking.

Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until set. Cool slightly, then fill as desired.

Great for diabetics or other sugar busters.

Queen Anne Chocolate Truffles: Sugar-Free/Diabetic

Recipe By: Ben

8 oz. Unsweetened Baking Chocolate; Finely Chopped
2/3 Stick Sweet Butter; Cut into Small Pieces
1/4 Cup Brewed Coffee or Water
1 Vanilla Bean; Split, Seeded and Hull Reserved
2 Egg Yolks; Slightly Beaten
1 Cup "Equal Spoonful" Sweetener
1 1/3 Cup "Equal Spoonful" Sweetener; Used as a Dusting Powder
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Put chocolate, butter, coffee or water, egg yolks and vanilla bean into a microwave safe cooking dish. Mix slightly to moisten chocolate. Microwave on 50% power for 3-minutes. Stir to dissolve lumps. Please note that additional time may be used at 20-second intervals on 50 % power if chocolate needs more time to melt. Stir in "Equal Spoonful" sweetener and combine well.

Spoon onto small pan lined with waxed paper. Spread evenly and remove vanilla bean. Place in refrigerator until semi-firm. Save the reserved vanilla bean hull for another recipe.

Prepare dusting powder by combining "Equal Spoonful" sweetener and cocoa powder in a small bowl. When truffles are firm enough to hold shape, cut into desired bite sized squares and mold into balls by hand. Roll each truffle in dusting powder. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate to store.

No-Bake Chocolate Dream Cookies 

Recipe By : Judy Mento

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
1/3 cup water -- scant
1 tablespoon cocoa powder -- no sugar
pinch salt
1 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon peanut butter -- no sugar; optional
1 ounce oats, rolled (raw) (3/8 cup)
6 packets Equal sweetener
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 teaspoons nonfat dry milk powder

In saucepan, combine water, cocoa, salt, butter, and peanut butter (if using). Bring to boil. Add oats, stirring constantly, cook for about 30 seconds more. Remove from heat.

Add other ingredients and stir to combine.

Line plate with waxed paper. Drop cookies by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.

Set in refrigerator until firm. Makes 1 serving.

NOTE: The milk powder adds some protein to this, but I think I would also eat some additional protein with this if peanut butter not added. Good for breakfast or a snack. I only make one serving at a time – this is too good. I usually prefer this without the peanut butter, but it depends on my mood.

Pecan Crust

Recipe By: Ben

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup sugar (use combination of sugar substitutes to = 1 c. sugar)
1 egg white

Chop the pecan pieces very finely (not to dust, but finer than chopped pecans come in a package). Add sugar and mix together. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white just until frothy. Add enough egg white to the

pecans so that the nuts hold together in a ball when squeezed in the hand.

Press mixture into the bottom of pie pan or spring form pan. Toast in a 350 °F oven for 10 minutes, until pecans begin to turn light brown. Remove from oven and cool before adding pie filling.

Makes enough for a 9 or 10-inch spring form pan.

Chill beaters, too.  Then beat with electric mixer until it forms peaks.  Then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla (or other extract); then beat again.  Then add sugar substitute to taste (try 5-6 packets to start & adjust next time).  Then beat again and refrigerate until you use it.

Use like Cool Whip, or you may freeze it and it tastes like vanilla ice cream.

Submitted By: Krystyna from the UK

1 pint (600 ml) skimmed milk -
5 tablespoons dried milk powder -

2 teaspoons vanilla essence.

Put the milk in a saucepan over a gentle heat. Add the sugar and sprinkle the milk powder over the top. Stir until both the sweetener and the milk powder are dissolved, being careful not to let the mixture boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and when cold stir in the vanilla essence. Chill thoroughly and then put in ice cream machine (makes just over 1 pint)

Traditional Vanilla Ice Cream 

Submitted By: Krystyna from the UK

4 egg yolks -
sweetener to replace 4oz sugar (I used 3 oz fructose)
half pint (300 ml) milk -
half pint (300 ml) double cream -
2 teaspoons vanilla essence

Pour milk into saucepan and slowly heat it to boiling point, in a bowl beat the egg yolks and sugar together and then still beating pour over the milk. Return the mixture to the pan and stirring constantly heat it until the mixture forms a film over the back of a wooden spoon. Do not let it boil or it will separate. Remove pan from the heat, leave it until cold then stir in the cream and vanilla essence. Chill thoroughly then put in ice cream machine. This recipe isn't as complicated as it looks - after tasting it my mum said that she will never eat a shop bought ice cream again.
