I have to look at my watch (or my phone, if I forgot to put my watch on!). It’s #atruckdriverslife so I’m used to not knowing what day it is (or where I am, in which case … Google Maps.

If you use erythritol in a recipe is’s less sweet than regular sugar. Add stevia till it’s pumped up and tasting more like the real thing. There’s lots of stevia/monk fruit blends with erythritol on the market already because they do work well in combination. Myself I love Allulose best, never had any gut issues with it.

Like some others have mentioned, when it comes to Keto-Friendly sweeteners, there are quite a few choices to work with. Myself, I do not like the ‘crystal’? form of Stevia. Nor did I like Truvia. I found both the have an aftertaste, as well as the cooling effect when baked with. But I’ve found the Liquid Stevia a bit better both in taste and with cooking/baking with. At least I haven’t had any issues that I’m aware of?
There are some I have not tried that I’ve seen mentioned on here quite often, such as Allulose. But from reading others post on some of these sweeteners over the past couple years, seems that a lot of them do have the possibility of giving folks stomach issues. Erythritol is one that is known to do this, especially if you are not that used to it, or are newer to it I should say. But my point is that it seems they all have the potential to cause issues for some folks, while others don’t seem to be affecting as much or at all?
It’s unfortunately more or less a trial and error testing you have to do so to speak, so once you find one that works best for you, it’s usually the one you will work with most. Or you might find some that work better for baking purposes, and some better for drinks or maybe desserts? Either way you still have to keep aware of their use, since the more sweet things you keep around, the longer it keep the sweet tooth in play as well. Most find this to be a hurdle for them they can do without in the long run.

Thanks, Dave. It does seem to be a bit of an experiment around here. I’ve worked with both plain Erythritol and Erythritol mixed with Monk fruit, and both have that cooking sensation for me. My DH said he didn’t notice it on the last batch of Brownie Bark that I made, but I did! Yesterday I made frozen cheesecake bars that used both powered Erythritol and liquid stevia and when I tasted it didn’t seem to have that cooling effect but ‘something else” instead. Not sure how to describe it. Thankfully it was mild tasting, whatever it was.
I think all of these types of sweeteners have the possibility upsetting my gut. I seem to be pretty sensitive to them. I’m hoping it’s just a matter of my digestive system getting used to them. My portion sizes are really small, usually just a few bites.
Thankfully the drive to make these desserts is not a craving for them per say, but the desire to be creative in my kitchen. Thanks for your insight. Very much appreciated.
