Sugar Free Frosting

RE: Sugar Free Frosting Post By Brian (Guest Post) (10/11/2008) Lisa, We operate a allergen-free baking company in PA named icing. We have a sugar-free icing sweetened with agave nectar which is obtained from cacti. Please call if you like to know more.

Just take some full fat soft cream cheese and add some pure fruit spread (it's really thick, I use one made by Sunwheel). It tastes really good Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sugar Free Frosting Post by ctreat1 (2) | (09/16/2007) Contact By the way, splenda is wonderful! Doesn't have that nasty after taste that other substitutes do. I have never been one to use substitutes until we discovered splenda!

Just spread some peanut butter on a long pretzel rod and stick raisins to the peanut butter.

You'll get the design, but not all the sweets. And I'd place it on homemade carrot cake, banana cake, applesauce cake, or even zucchini bread -- where you can cut way down on the sugar. Have you considered just making cookies? There are lots of low sugar recipes (I refuse to use sugar substitutes) for cookies if you look. When my son was young, he and his friends loved veggies with dip, or cheese and crackers.

Seriously (or rather more on topic), fruits, cream cheese, a little (pure) vanilla extract, and a bit of honey to sweeten. The sugar-free puddings and Jello are artificially sweetened so if you dislike artificial sweeteners that would be out. I imagine the school's limit on sugar was directed toward "refined" sugar, but the Food Nazi who decided to implement it didn't have the presence of mind to specify this in his edict. I tend to sidestep such foolishness any time it is erected before me, and in this case there is plenty of natural, unrefined sugar in fruits, berries, and a little honey. If the Food Nazis don't like it just don't give them any more.

Teresa Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sugar Free Frosting Post By Brigitte (Guest Post) (10/02/2006) I found this recipe when I was trying to avoid margarine and was out of powdered sugar.I mix together the natural peanut butter (only ground peanuts) and chocolate powder, it tastes like a peanut butter cup. I have never tried but you might be able to use carob powder instead. I would assume that you would stay under the 50% mark like that.

Instead of cake how about SF pudding cups, PB and J roll-ups or make-your own Eng. muffin pizzas. Even a baked apple is fun! Why does a B-day have to mean sugar-laden cake! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sugar Free Frosting Post By Lisa (Guest Post) (10/02/2006) How about making a glaze with an all fruit spread? You can melt strawberry or raspberry no sugar added fruit spread in a sauce pan and drizzle it over the cupcakes then top with a fresh strawberry or red raspberry. My son like plain chocolate cupcakes with just a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top. Much easier than frosting! Good luck. Lisa Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sugar Free Frosting Post By Marisa (Guest Post) (10/02/2006) It sounds like the school is trying to enforce healthy eating...I say go with that! Try to find a healthier treat. Fruit is always great. My daughter loves apple slices dipped in vanilla yogurt (I usually add a little cinnamon to the yogurt). Or fruit kabobs would be fun--colorful fruit cubes on skewers. Zucchini (bread) mini-muffins! Carrot (cake) mini-muffins! They're sweet, but don't need frosting. Oatmeal cookies with raisins. Do a search online for "healthy treats for kids" or "dessert alternatives" and I bet you'll find a ton of ideas.

Make a batch of jello, then pour it over the cake so the cake soaks up the jello. Then you refridgerate it and the cake becomes very moist and yummy. You could decorate the top with fruit and it would still be super.
