We've recently reduced our carbohydrate intake and in seeking out new recipes, I discovered All Day I Dream About Food. The author, Carolyn, is diabetic and creates all sorts of delectable tasties.
Lots of people make low-carb recipes, but hers tend to be real food and not a lot of fakey-fake stuff. Yay! Of course this recipe I use to introduce you to her has sugar-free pudding. Not my idea of honest food, but it's so good, I'm willing to bend.
Behold! The Low-Carb Nanaimo Bar of Delicious Tastiness.
I'm telling you, this thing is awesome! I accidentally messed up the recipe the first time I made them. Correcting it on the second round, we found that we liked the 'mistake' better. After finishing the bottom chocolate layer and cooling it, I realized I forgot to put the coconut in. Instead I opted to throw in half the amount with the middle vanilla pudding layer. (I was afraid the entire amount would be too much for the pudding to handle.) Ultimately it ended up giving the coconut flavor more stage-time, rather than the chocolate overpowering it.
I couldn't recommend this recipe more. I would make it if we weren't eating low-carb. And that's high praise, buh-lieve me.
Original recipe here.
