101 Low-Carb & Sugarfree Dessert Recipes

Lollies

You can make these treats for the kids and feel confident that they aren't filling up on sugar. There are two versions, chocolate and hard candy.

Good Tip: It pays to invest in a really good candy thermometer.

Hard Candy Lollies

1 1/2 cup Sugarfree Vanilla Syrup

1 cup Maltitol Grandular

1 tsp Candy flavoring

Candy food color

Prepare the candy molds with spray vegetable oil and sticks. NOTE: Do not use plastic molds. Use metal molds only. In a heavy saucepan heat the syrup and Maltitol until it begins to boil. Insert candy thermometer, making sure it doesn't touch bottom of the pan. Boil to 260 degrees and add several drops of coloring. Stir gently and quickly with the thermometer without lifting the thermometer out of the mixture. Continue boiling to 300 degrees and remove from heat. When the boiling calms down, add the flavoring and stir once or twice. Quickly but carefully pour the mixture into the prepared metal molds. Allow to cool. Turn out of molds carefully.

This recipe will make 3 - 3-1/2 inch lollies

Chocolate Lollies

1 oz semi-sweet baker's chocolate

1/4 block paraffin wax

1/2 cup cocoa butter

1 cup Maltitol powdered

1/4 tsp Stevia

1 tsp vanilla extract

Melt and measure the cocoa butter into a double boiler. Grate the baker's chocolate and paraffin and add to the cocoa butter and allow to melt. Add the Maltitol and Stevia and stir while heating until creamy. Stir in vanilla extract.

Remove double boiler from heat and allow mixture to cool down. It is okay to speed the process by putting double-boiler over a sauce pan filled with lukewarm water. Do not use cold water or it will set up too fast. During the cooling process whisk occasionally to prevent edges from setting up. Using a candy thermometer, test often until the mixture has cooled to 110 degrees. This is necessary to prevent the plastic molds from melting. If the mixture cools lower than 100 degrees it will begin to stiffen. If this happens, put double boiler over pan of hot water until it softens again.

Pour the warm chocolate into candy molds that have been prepared with sticks. This recipe will fill 10 large candy lollipop molds or eight with some left over. Most molds come 4 to a tray. You can pour any remaining mixture onto waxed paper and allow to harden. Chip up and store in refrigerator to use in other recipes. I recommend storing these lollies in the refrigerator until they are eaten to preserve them. However, they will hold up well and not melt at room temperature if used as party treats.
