    BUMP! Thanks, sounds amazing!

    Probably a really stupid question, but what is cool whip? And what is the UK equivalent?

    cool whip is like whipped cream ... sugar free was used in this recipe... do they have canned whipped cream called Reddiwhip? That would work too!

    LOL. Cool Whip comes frozen...it's kind of like a white fluffy custard. I guess.

    I suppose you could use instant whip maybe? Im also wondering if you could use creme fraiche for a healthier alternative. Might give it a go and let you know.

    Yeah, I'm thinking about experimenting with different toppings. I just love maple syrup and pairing it with a coconut cake made an interesting flavor profile. I like mixing sugar free preserves with sugar free cool whip for other things so I might try some other flavors as well. You could always mix creme fraiche or cool whip with cocoa powder for a more traditional flavor profile. I know some people have an issue with the artificial stuff but if you tried to use regular maple syrup with it you'd be adding a whole lot of calories. I mean, IIFYM go for it but I'd probably opt to change the flavor of the glaze at that point. I try to eat as much food as possible within my calorie limit.

    I'm the master of easy low calorie recipes. Recently I've been doing a lot of egg whites + other things in the microwave to make healthy single serving cakes. If you want another low carb cake thing, I also do 6tbsp egg whites, 2tbsp milled flax seeds, 2tbsp PB2, 1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk + splenda. It's 165 calories, 6.8g fat, 9.3g carbs (3g net), 18.3g protein.

    I also do a series of oat + egg white based cakes. Same base, 6tbsp egg whites + splenda and also 1/4 cup oats. I do one where I add 1tbsp of sugar free strawberry preserves and 1tbsp apricot preserves and it's 140 calories. I do a PB2 one and add 2tsp (not tbsp) of PB2 that's 135 calories. Then one of my favorites, I add 1/2 a packet of one of those Duncan Hines flavor creation packets (the thing you're supposed to add to frosting to flavor it) and 1/3 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it's 135 calories.

    Then there's my ice creams. I do a peanut butter flavored one with 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, splenda, and 2tsp PB2 and it's 30 calories. Then I do a coconut one that's the same thing except 2tsp coconut flour. If you don't know how to make ice cream, check YouTube. You can use two ziploc bags, ice, and salt.

    Then there's my crepes:

    Maple cinnamon crepes: 3/4 cup egg whites, 1/2tbsp milled flax seeds, 1/4tsp baking powder, 1/4cup sugar free maple syrup (I use Vermont's sugar free maple syrup), 1tsp of cinnamon. 130 calories, 6g carbs (5g net carbs), 1g fat, 21g protein

    Chocolate crepes: 3/4 cup egg whites, 1/2tbsp milled flax seeds, 1/4tsp baking powder, 1tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened), 1tbsp splenda. 125 calories, 4g carbs (1g net carbs), 2g fat, 22g protein

    Both stacks of crepes are the whole batch. The calorie counts listed are for the whole plate, not the individual crepes. Makes 5-8 depending on how big you make them.
