Allulose Sweetener

I won't say that allulose is the perfect replacement for other sweeteners like erythritol. As with all of them, it is a unique ingredient with its own properties. It is, however, an incredible choice for candy making. Like sugar, it can reach different points when heated that are associated with different textures. That means brownies made with it can be fudgy in texture, which is just incredible to have on a keto diet. It also made my ice cream stay soft in the freezer similar to a sugar recipe. Be careful not to use the typical no-churn keto recipes, which are basically frozen whipped cream and leave a layer of pasty fat in the mouth. Those recipes are designed around dealing with the lack of sugar for texture when frozen. With allulose, you can use something more like a standard ice cream recipe with an ice cream machine, with the standard fat ratio.The flavor is sweet when used in the right quantity, though not exactly like sugar. Still, I never had a breaking in period with it like with Stevia to let my taste buds adapt. It is really very close. There is no cooling or aftertaste. As far as gastrointestinal issues, your mileage will vary, so start small. If I eat a lot, like a big dessert, I can have a sour stomach the next day and the gas is not frequent, but with a bad smell. I am being honest here to let you know the consequences of your sugar free actions.Price is probably the biggest reason I don't use allulose as my primary sweetener. Hoosier Hill Farm brand seems to be making an effort to bring that price down, which I appreciate. I expect it to come down over time now that people are realizing how superior it is for many recipes. The packaging is very nice, with a working resealable bag that is better than Swerve. It is more like the bags you get things in at a local candy store. If you are all in on this stuff, they also sell it in bulk without the nice bags for significantly less.

I absolutely love everything about this product. It is perfect in every way for me. It would take me much more space than there is here to say everything I love about it. My biggest test of this product was a complete success. I made some caramel sauce. I put 3/4 cup Hoosier Hill Farms Allulose in a non-stick pan on medium high heat. I waited till it started to melt and when it did, I stirred till it was all clear and melted. Heat it to a light boil. Boil it until it starts to change to a light caramel color. Don't boil it too long or it will taste burnt. You want it to be a light caramel color. While lightly boiling, I put in four tablespoons of room temperature softened butter. Add all the butter at the same time. Whisk it in quickly but carefully, it bubbles like crazy. Turn off the heat and add six tablespoons of heavy cream all at once. I wisked it all together and added a teaspoon of vanilla. Let it cool. The attached picture is a picture of my caramel sauce. It couldn't have turned out more perfectly. Overnight in the refrigerator it did not over thicken, crystalize or change in any way. I love this product and I will continue to buy more. 8 servings with 0.8 net carbs per two tablespoons serving size. You may get a different calculation depending on the heavy cream brand that you use. I also used it to make vanilla ice cream and it turned out perfectly. Two cups heavy cream, one cup canned coconut milk, 3/4 cup HHF Allulose, 2 egg yolks, 1 tbsp vanilla. Thoroughly mix all ingredients and freeze in a 2 quart ice cream maker. Super low carbs for eight servings. Thank you for this outstanding excellent perfect product!

I purchased this brand instead of my usual. I don't remember why haha! I didn't notice much difference. Still replaces regular sugar just fine. For anyone unable to use table sugar, I would recommend you give this a shot. I think you will notice a big difference. I will never go back to just plain sugar.

It's not the sweetest product out there, but I add a smidgeon of other product to get that perfect balance. I bought it because I wanted to get off of what I was using for sweeteners. It is way too expensive, but allulose seems to be that way everywhere, unfortunately. It does not make me dizzy as Erythritol does. I feel no lightheadedness at all! The flavor doesn't have that nastyness to it as much as Erythritol does either. But I do have to let it set a bit after I sweeten with it to let the full sweetness kick in. I have diabetes type two. So I needed something that doesn't spike my sugar like Splenda and real sugar does. So I am happy except for the cost, and I would like to see the bag wider to give my more room to get my hand in there and scoop it out. And by the way, a scoop like erythritol has in its bag would be perfect. For now I am stealing the scoop from the erythritol product and using it for this allulose one. So if you have it in your house, save the scoop from the erythritol, or just buy one. It helps me get my preferred measurement right. Like I said I still have to use a smidge of generic Splenda to balance the flavor. But now I use very little of it and not have to spike my sugar to the moon. At first, I had a little extra gas with allulose, but I adjusted and it's not a problem anymore. It's better on my system overall than erythritol was. I hope it does good for you too. Trying to get away from other sweeteners altogether. So many side effects out there. I am hoping the price will come down on Allulose as more start to use it! This is a decent substitute!
