Every sugar-free "ice cream"/frozen dessert I've tried so far has been pretty vile.  The sugar-free chocolate made with sugar alcohols that's sold in our area is actually pretty good, but since my PN still thinks it's sugar, I don't do that anymore. There's also an issue with the stuff being a cramp-inducing laxative.
I've been experimenting with various sweeteners—aspertame, sucralose, saccharin, and DW just picked up some stevia, which we haven't had a chance to try yet. I'm also curious about neotame, but I haven't actually seen or tried any yet.
If I can figure out a way to make a palatable fudge or decent chocolate candy, I'll be all set.

Hi Doc,
I bake a lot of breakfast cakes/loafs using wholemeal flour instead of white and Stevia instead of sugar. They turn out pretty good usually.
But today I downloaded a Paleo recepie for blueberry muffins that called for Almond flour and Stevia. I am going to try to make over weekend. So far I'm ok with carbs but this was the kick I needed to clean up my diet anyways so I am going to look at this in a positive light right now to get healthier and hopefully loose those 2 last kilos I haven't been able to loose.
