Stevia Cookbook For Low Calorie Stevia Baking

By Sam & Dom Milner

Introduction

Welcome to my stevia cookbook.

Even though I eat healthy and count the calories that I consume I am a huge dessert addict. I always have been and I always will be.

I always thought the best thing about birthday parties was the homemade birthday cake and would always wish it was my birthday so that I could have seconds. This is actually EXACTLY what I did. It was my daughter Sofias first birthday back in November and there was loads of cake left. My response was to eat it all and wow it tasted so good.

Then there was the love for another mums homemade cupcakes and before I knew it during November of 2015 I had gained half a stone.

But I want my cake but I dont want the weight gain.

Simple really, add stevia to your diet (which is often very low calorie or zero calories) and you have plenty of pudding and dessert opportunities but without worrying about the weight gain.

Just think of it like this 100g of sugar (which is the typical amount in some shortbread) = 387 calories and zero calorie stevia = 387 calories saving. Have a pudding three times a week (which I always do) then you are saving yourself 1161 calories a week or 60,000 calories a year.

Sounds like a good calorie saving doesnt it?

Especially, when you taste how nice stevia is and how the plant like product has so many health benefits!

I hope you enjoy them and let me know what you think :)

Low Calorie Rice Pudding (time to go back to school)

Rice pudding is something that I will always associate with being at school. I always remember at primary school during the late 80s/early 90s that we would always have rice pudding or something similar. There would always be a drop of jam on the top, mainly because at school it was tasteless and it needed that little smudge of jam to make it edible.

Yet fast forward a couple of decades and you find that it is a great pudding for those of you with a sugar craving, it doesnt break the bank to make it and it is much better with a few modern touches to the original aged option.

Ingredients:

• 145g pudding ric e
• 400ml milk
• 400ml water
• 4tbsp stevia
• vanilla essence
• nutmeg

Method

1. Place milk and water in medium pan with the stevia, vanilla and gently simmer until dissolved.

2. Pre-heat oven to 150c or gas mark 2

3. Then place the milk in a bowl with the rice and stir until all rice has being mixed into the milk

4. Put in the oven for 1hr30mins

5. Stir after the 1st half hour and then with about 20 minutes left give it a quick stir and make sure it is ok and not too thick.

6. Serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Serves about 4-6 people

Healthy Strawberry Cupcakes

Did someone say healthy strawberry cupcakes? I have to admit I am a cupcake addict through and through. Ever since I tried my first one as a teenager I was taken by them. They are like the devil to me. I love them but they are bad for me. So I decided to put a recipe together of cupcakes that I can eat without worrying about the calories and this is what happened.

Enjoy them and remember it is always nice to share :)

Ingredients:

• 3 medium egg s
• 2oz/ 57g Butter
• 6tbsp Stevia
• 4oz/113g self raising flour
• 2-3 drop vanilla essence
• tsp strawberry flavouring

For decoration:

• A couple of drops of red food colouring

• 8 level tsp icing Stevia plus extra for dusting

• 8 smallish strawberries

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4/180.

2. Put paper cases in a mini muffin tin. Whisk together the eggs, butter and Stevia. Sieve the flour making sure any large bits are taken out. Using a large metal spoon, fold in the flour with the vanilla essence and the strawberry flavouring.

3. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and bake for 15-20minutes. Just check one cupcake by stick a cocktail stick in the middle and if it comes out clean then they are ready to come out.

4. Remove the cupcakes and allow to cool on a wire rack.

5. Mix a few drops of water and food colouring with the Stevia. Spoon on to the cakes, garnish with halved strawberries and dust with icing sweetener!

The Ultimate Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie anyone? With the butter in its crust and all that high calorie soft cheese, it has often been associated with being super high in calories and really not that good for you.

But the team here wanted to make one that was healthier and that you could have each week without feeling you would have to run a marathon in order to work it off.

It has a small amount of butter and uses quark instead of high calorie soft cheese and I personally cant tell the difference. It is just lovely. Let me know if you agree :)

Ingredients:

• 8 digestives

• 57g butter
• 1 sachet lemon/lime jelly
• 2tsp powdered gelatine
• 4 limes few drops green food colouring
• 2 pots vanilla muller yoghurt
• 198g quark
• 4 tbsp Stevia

Method:

1. Put the biscuits in a bag & crush by hitting them with a rolling pin.

2. Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the biscuits. When they are well mixed with the butter pour the mixture into a 7in loose bottom cake tin, press down the mixture and put in the fridge to cool.

3. Make up the jelly with using the instructions on the packet, then stir in the gelatine and set aside to cool.

4. Zest the limes by scraping them up and down the small grate area on a cheese grater and squeeze the limes

5. When jelly is cool put in a food processor with the lime juice, food colouring, yogurt, quark & the Stevia, blend until smooth and of a creamy consistency

6. Put in the cake tin over the biscuits and make sure it is nice and even, put in the fridge over night

Melt In Your Mouth Reduced Calorie Chocolate Brownies

Chocolate brownies that are reduced in calories? NO WAY. It is impossible I can hear you all shouting at me now. Or that the taste has to be compromised after all low calorie has to mean horrible? WRONG.

With this chocolate brownie (that our whole household loves by the way) it is using dark chocolate and because it is dark and fairly rich it means there is not much of it that is needed. Then because youre using brown sweetner youre saving even more calories.

I hope you enjoy it as much as us!

Ingredients :

• 3oz dark sweet chocolate
• 7 tbsp butter
• 1 cup Stevia
• 2 eggs, beaten
• few drops of vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup ground almonds
• 2 tbsp plus 1.5 tsp brown rice flour
• 1 cup mixed nuts, toasted and roughly chopped (optional)
