Most likely from all the heavy cream. You can dilute the cream with a low carb milk beverage (almond or coconut) or a little water to reduce the calories.

I would try 1/2 the sweetener if you've been low carb for a while. Otherwise 3/4 the sweetener might be better. It's a tough call as sweetness can vary significantly from person to person.

Sweetness varies a lot depending how long one has been on low carb and away from sugar. This is an earlier recipe and I'm finding when I make these older recipes I have to reduce the sweetener by half.

Thanks for sharing! It's good to know you are staying in ketosis with the Honest syrup.

Yum - I'm making this for the third time this week! A couple changes... I'm using ChocZero's Honest Caramel Syrup (2 net grams of carbs per tablespoon) and Swerve confectioners sugar replacement (i.e. Erythritol - 0 net carbs) - both from Amazon.

I'm also making a "half recipe", rounding up to 3 medium backyard chicken eggs, and 1 cup of cream (then half of everything else) and baking in my toaster oven at 325 for 35-40 minutes. (It's just easier for me to use and store smaller dishes than the full recipe would require.)

Our family loves this stuff! Not too sweet, but if you wanted it sweeter, I'd add a drop or two of stevia.

Also for Keto people, I've been devouring this and stayed in ketosis with no problem. It's basically just eggs and heavy cream - two good foods. (The sweeteners are low-to-no net carb ingredients.)

Hi Janet, this recipe has no fiber in it. You subtract the erythritol from from the carb count because erythritol will not impact your blood sugar, therefore it is safe for remaining in ketosis.

As far as there being carbs in Stevia/erythritol blends, you need to read the ingredients list and watch out for any fillers such as maltodextrin, that will impact your carb count and your ketosis. The Natvia looks safe to use.

You are correct about the hidden carbs in the heavy cream and eggs. However, they're so little, that it shouldn't impact you too much, as long as you don't eat the whole dessert!

Hope this helps!

The erythritol carbs usually have no impact so they are not included.

And I quote your text, "My favorite sugar replacement for low carb desserts is a mix of stevia and erythritol."

I thought a carb was a carb and not sure where you are getting the fiber? There are carbs in stevia and erythritol blends and this could really throw a diabetic or Keto diet off! You have 1 3/4 cups of heavy cream according to fatsecret.com there are 6.64g of carbs in 1 cup of heavy cream. Therefore, there are 8.85 carbs for the heavy cream alone...and 1.9 cumulative carbs in 5 eggs.

I am sure this is tasty and low carb...but beware, it is not KETO Disappointed in the original nutrition calculations! I wish this was a safe recipe, but I am not seeing it!

With not seeing the brands of the ingredients used in this recipe, the counts might be slightly off, but don't think so! here are some additional calculations: 10.75 hidden carbs + said "erythritol which is about 18.4g" = 29.15 carbs / 6servings is still 4.84 g of carbs per serving! Note: this is not including the hidden cabs in the Blackstrap Molasses and the vanilla extract.
