Do you think that this will taste good?!


Question: I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out, so I can only eat things that require no chewing. I'm also currently on the Atkins diet (hold the scoldings and warnings!!), so my diet has consisted of sugar free pudding, sugar-free ice cream, and Atkins shakes. Yum. Not. Anyway, I want some cream cheese frosting; just eating it right out of the bowl. I don't care how unhealthy it is. I want some damn frosting and I want it now, YUMMMMMMM!!!!!!!! Do you think that it will taste okay if I use the classic Philadelphia Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe (1 package cream cheese, 1/2 stick butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 4 cups powdered sugar), and replace the powdered sugar with granulated Splenda... which "measures cup-for-cup" with real sugar?

Thanks in advance! I'll pick a best answer TODAY!

P.S. Any good soft/extremely moist cake recipes with less than 5 carbs are welcome too! As well as any alternative low carb frosting recipes that might taste better!

The frosting sounds great. I know how you feel, I had all my teeth pulled after an accident. Angle food cake, with peaches or pears would be good. Just don't get the canned fruit in syrup. Apple sauce is good. I ate a lot of oat meal with fresh fruit while healing. Good Luck

Cream Cheese Frosting with Splenda

1 pkg. (8 oz. or 227 g) reduced fat cream cheese
1/4 cup (50 ml) butter, softened
1/2 tsp. (2 ml) vanilla
1 drop imitation maple flavour
1/2 cup (125 ml) SPLENDA? Granular

or try:

8 oz tub of light cream cheese
4 oz fat-free cream cheese
1/4 cup Splenda
1 8oz container of Cool Whip Lite

or:

3 ounces cream cheese -- room temperature
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter -- room temperature
4 packets sweetener
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon lemon juice

I think you use 1/2 splenda to 1 cup of sugar. It may be gritty but hey.....you're not going to chew anyway.

I don't have a good low carb cake recipe but this is great and will fit your diet .. ( once you can eat them )also good for diabetics and they taste fantastic. No Flour at all.. I cut the splenda to 1 cup and we like it even better that way.

We call them Magic Cookies

Yield: 18 cookies

1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar replacement, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar replacement to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar replacement. Cool slightly before removing from pan.
