sugar free candy recipes with stevia sweetener |
 |
|
These
sugar
free candy recipes prove that it's perfectly possible to
indulge your sweet tooth without having to worry about any of the side
effects tied to sugar
addiction. Everyone should be able to enjoy candy, and that
is why we kindly invite you to submit some stevia
recipes if you have any. Sharing is caring!

One
thing to note when you're making sugar free hard candy is that the
stevia sweetener does not have the same characteristics as table sugar,
and dissolves in water rather than forming a syrup. An alternative to
sugar is maltitol,
but this may cause problems for those sensitive to polyols.
Nevertheless, I have added a sugar free hard candy recipe below for
those who might be interested.
Remember that the concentration of stevia may vary greatly depending on
the brand, so consider the measurements below simply as guidelines.
It's important to taste regularly to ensure a correct amount of
sweetness. Please have fun experimenting with these sugar free candy
recipes!

Coconut
carob treats with stevia (recipe
courtesy of Casey Lorraine Thomas)
- 1
avocado
- 4 tablespoons of carob
powder (this makes it a
beautiful rich carob flavour. If you’re not a huge fan of carob just
use less or substitute with cacao powder)
- White stevia powder
to taste (add enough stevia so that the mixture is a little sweeter
than you like. Once you add the coconut and freeze the blobs they won’t
be quite as sweet)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
extract
- 2/3 cup of coconut
chips/flakes
|
 |
| |
|
In
a food processor fitted with
the “S” blade, process the avocado, carob or cacao, vanilla extract and
stevia until well combined, thick and creamy. You will need to stop the
processing and scrape the sides of the food processor once or twice.
Take the “S” blade out of the food processor and add the coconut chips
to the mixture. Mix well with a spoon. Spoon “blobs” of the mixture
onto a plate. You can use your hands to shape balls if your
prefer.Freeze the blobs for about one hour and then enjoy!

Lemon
and coconut balls with stevia
(recipe courtesy of Casey Lorraine Thomas)
- 1 avocado
- Juice of 1
lemon
- Zest of half a
lemon
- 4 tablespoons of coconut
flour
- Liquid vanilla stevia to taste
- Pinch of sea salt
|
 |
| |
|
Place
the avocado, lemon juice,
zest and stevia in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade. Process
until well combined. Taste the mixture now to check the sweetness and
add more stevia as desired. You still need to add the coconut flour so
you want the mixture to be slightly sweeter than you want the end
result to be.
Add the sea salt and coconut flour to the food
processor and process until the mixture sticks together. Taste and add
more stevia if desired.
If the mixture doesn’t stick, you can
add a little bit of water (try a tablespoon at a time) and then process
again until the mixture sticks but isn’t runny.
If it’s too
runny, add a bit more coconut flour to thicken the mixture up. The
right measurements are very much dependent on how big your avocado and
lemon are so you might need to adjust yours a little bit.
Form
the mixture into small balls and place in a container for freezing or
refrigerating (you can make yours perfect balls but mine are always a
bit whacky like me). You can coat the balls in desiccated coconut or
coconut flour if you like. I made mine without as I loved the green
colour!
I loved these balls after about an hour in the freezer
as the outside was very firm and the middle still soft so it reminded
me of a truffle! You could freeze them right the way through or you
could put them straight into the fridge. They hold together well either
way.
