There are constantly great new low-carb products coming to the market. Well, many of them are unhealthy and full of artificial, weird ingredients. The main purpose of these products is not to make you healthy — the main purpose is to take your money.

After finding a powdered sweetener consisting of erythritol and stevia there is no way back. It is sweet without the bitter aftertaste of stevia and it has only very little of the cooling effect of erythritol.

Update 19th November 2014: I just learnt that the “Half-and-Half” used in the US contains all kinds of food additives. Please do yourself a favor and never use that kind of junk! What I mean here with half-and-half is simpy light cream with fat content of some 10%-12%. If you cannot find light cream (half cream in UK), just use half heavy cream and half milk. You can even try unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk to keep the carb count to the minimum.
