Oopsie Roll Almost Tiramisu

Image
I saw this recipe on The Lighter Side of Low- Carb web page and it looked so good!! Here is her recipe and I will break down what I did below that: marymc's Oopsie Roll Almost Tiramisu Okay, set aside about a cup or so of your morning coffee, or make some from instant, but either way, let it cool down. Take your favorite Revolution Roll recipe (Cleo�s Oopsie would be an excellent choice) except add a teaspoon of vanilla and extra sweetener in with the yolks and cream cheese. I sweetened this one with one tablespoon of the DaVinci �s Delce de Leche and it was nowhere near sweet enough, so next time I may just do the Sugar Twin or Splenda instead, or add extra DaVinci �s. Blend together the yolks, vanilla, sweetener and cream cheese (or whatever you�re using) and of course, whip up your whites with the cream of tartar. I had doubled the original Dr. Atkins RR recipe, but it was really a bit much and made for a pretty thick �cake.� Maybe could have gotten by on a single recipe...

Stir with a rubber spatula. Once your oil is ready drop tbsp size balls into the oil using a spoon. These take a about a min or two on each side. This recipe will make a lot of hush puppies,, will feed 6 to 8. I count these as 1 carb each but may be less. These are melt in your mouth!! Just like the real thing without all the carbs. I make these on fish night and they last us for a few days.

These are my husbands favorite
