Diet Revolution Rolls


The diet revolution rolls were in a really old Atkins book (1972) I got out of the library before going out and buying the latest one. They are really easy to make and are actually kind of like bread - great for breaky or lunch.
Recipe follows

3 eggs (room temp)
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3 tablespoons cottage cheese/ricotta
1-2 tsp splenda

Separate eggs carefully. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff. In a separate bowl mix the eggs and cottage cheese. Gently fold the yolk mix into the egg whites.

Place mix in heaps onto a lightly greased oven tray. Try and heap up as high as possible. Make about 6 piles.

Bake in 150 degree oven for about an hour.

0.5 grams carbs per serve.

Certainly does! It's actually out of the "Low Carb not No Carb" Cookbook.
Ok...
Ingredients:
2 Eggs, 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil, 200g Tub of Fromage Frais (I use Yoplait Vanilla Yoghurt the "no fat" one in the green tub only 5.5g carbs per 100g), 140mL of Apple Puree (can use any fruit - berries???), 2 tsp Vanilla Essence, 1 and 1/4 cups caster sugar (use sweetener and adjust accordingly), Combine all these in one bowl.
Then in another bowl..... Sift together
1/2 cup SR Flour, 1/2 cup Plain Flour (can use ground almonds instead), 1 tsp baking soda, 3/4 cup of Cocoa Powder.

Combine the two and stir well. Place in tin (30cmx20cm) that has been greased and lined with baking paper (base and 2 sides)
Oven 180 deg C for approx 30 mins.
Cool in tin (will sink a bit in the middle) then turn out and cut into pieces.

Now this recipe says when cutting into 18 pieces it has 2.5g carbs per piece, if you substitute the flour for ground almonds, the sugar for sweetener, the apple for berries, and use the "not fat" yoghurt it'll have a lot less!
I heat up a couple of pieces in the microwave and serve with a dollop of cream.
Yummmmmmmmmmm gets me through any chocolate craving!

I normally use the almond flour (to replace the plain flour) making it 1/2 cup almond flour & 1/2 cup SR flour - and it works well....... but I'm living in semi-woop woop at the moment so can't get it at the supermarket here. The last few times I've made it I have just been using all flour. Either way works, although haven't tried using all almond flour???????? need to add extra bi-carb if someone does try!
