NOTE:
No two diabetics are alike. With that being said, diabetics may see blood sugar spikes with certain sugar substitutes. Use what you know works for you. In the case of Sugar Free Sweetened Condensed Milk, Splenda is used. Here are two recipes that you can make in advance:
3 Cups heavy cream
1 stick butter
1 cup sweetener of choice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (check your label as some extracts may contain sugar) - Optional.
Add first 3 ingredients to a sauce pan and over medium heat, stirring, bring to a high simmer. Reduce temperature to LOW and allow to simmer for 40 minutes, checking consistency, it should be very thick, if not, allow to continue simmering. Add extract (optional) and allow to cool. Store in a jar in refrigeration for up to 7 days.
For dairy free:
Use canned full fat coconut milk, 2 cans (check label, some have added sugar)
1 stick vegan butter
1 cup sweetener of choice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (check your label as some extracts may contain sugar) - Optional.
Follow instructions above, except, store in a jar in refrigeration for up to 5 days. If you are lactose intolerant but can have butter, use butter. An additional alternative would be to substitute with Coffee Mate Plain Coffee Creamer or Sugar Free Vanilla Coffee Creamer.
Fluff and Stuff
If you are like me and HATE recipe sites and blogs, you'll understand why I have Fluff and Stuff. I want to simply get to the recipe and information quickly and don't need to read the Bloggers whole life story and their inspiration behind the recipe halfway through the subject material. It drives me nuts when they break up the recipe with lengthy explanations, a ton of ads, and stupid nonsense to drag out word count, with information that may or may not be pertinent to the recipe. So, I put my fluff and stuff at the bottom. Some will read it, some will not, and it's okay either way. If you've gone this far, thanks.
Timmy and Eddie are diabetic, while Jerry has recently found out that he is pre-diabetic and wants to do all that he can to keep from having to go through what Timmy and Eddie are experiencing. These three men have led me down a rabbit hole and one of my potential projects was to do a Cook Along panel stream that can translate well to simulcasts as collaborative live content for other channels, and "best viewed on television" content. They have inspired me to bring life to this project, as well as bringing forward my protected and secret recipes that I've held onto for quite some time in my personal recipe binder. My recipes have been tested in commercial kitchens, and perhaps I will produce some bonus content in the future showcasing behind the scenes in specialty recipe development.
