Sugar-Free Strawberry Topping

This super-simple topping can be used for cheesecake, pancakes, low carb ice cream, or anything else your imagination comes up with.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh Strawberries
  • Artificial Sweetener
  • Low Carb Strawberry Jam

Preparation:

This is one of the few things I use powdered Splenda for, rather than liquids.

The amount depends on what you're using it for. For a cheesecake topping, I use 2-3 cups of strawberries.

For each cup of chopped strawberries, sprinkle with one packet of Splenda, and mix in one tablespoon of sugar-free jam.

Nutritional Information: One cup of chopped strawberries has 9.5 grams effective carbohydrate plus 3 grams of fiber. Splenda has a gram of carb per packet, and each brand of jam will be a little different (be sure to get sugar-free jam).
