A diabetic friendly berry almond bakewell! Still complete with flaky crust, frangipane filling, and sweet raspberries like a regular bakewell! I got to learn a few things as the recipe was from across the pond and was happy to experiment for my bestie’s birthday with his mum! We had a lovely time and it was so good to see them! I will definitely be making this again and enjoying it with some tea. 🩷

Tasty cake. No grasshoppers needed.

When I was in high school, I took cooking as an elective. I'm not any great shakes at it, mind, but I can toss a cassarole dish in the oven and get something edible in the end, generally. There was one recipe, however, that I absolutely adored and was sure the hang on to so I could make it again in the future.

Naturally, the recipe was missing the next time Mum and I went to make it, so we have to sort of re-invent a little every time.

But the recipe is:

GRASSHOPPER CAKE

Now, for those of you who are unaware, at least in America 'grasshopper' in cooking normally means chocolate-mint. No actual grasshoppers involved. You can, occasionally get little boxes of grasshoppers as novelty food items, but they're not a protein staple here. So if you're wondering how on earth you can have grasshopper cake without grasshoppers, there's your answer.

(If, for some reason, you would like to add actual grasshoppers for protein content, try your local pet supply store. You may have to make due with crickets though.)

Now, the recipe goes something like this. You will need:

1 box white or yellow cake mix 1 jar hot fudge topping 2-4(?) tsps mint flavored stuff 1 pint whipping cream Food colouring (optional)

The original recipe specifically called for a white cake, because you were supposed to add green food colour to it. Yellow works just as well and, fun fact! Yellow is one of the primary colours that makes up green, so you can still add food colouring if you want to. Also, the original recipe called for creme de menthe as the mint flavor. Mum and I just use regular old extract.

You make the boxed cake according to the instructions, only you add food colouring if you like and some mint flavouring. How much? That's one of the things Mum and I can't remember. It's one or two teaspoons and every time we have a debate over which and every time, I'm pretty sure we do something different. Never had the cake taste bad, though, so I would say two tsps if you really like mint and one if you're a bit shy of strong mint flavor.

Once the cake is partially cooled (but not all of the way) heat your fudge topping to the point you can easily get it out of the jar and spread it over the top. You don't need the topping to be completely melted - the warm cake will help it move.

Let cool. Possibly refrigerate, if you're in a hurry.

When your cake is good and cool, mix up your whipped cream. Add more food colour if you like, whatever you prefer for sweeteners (if any) and another teaspoon or two of mint flavor.

If there's anything left once you and the entire family have sampled it, stick it in the fridge.

Variations:

At one point I did this with orange instead of mint. I forget why, but it was also tasty.

At one of my former jobs I had a coworker who loved choco-mint and cake and was sadly diabetic. I discovered that Pillsbury makes a very nice sugar free boxed yellow cake and Smucker's has you covered on sugar free hot fudge topping. Sweeteners, of course, have lots of options. TASTY CAKE FOR ALL!

Easy Green Tea Peach Coconut Chia Pudding

1 13-oz can lite coconut milk (must be lite)

~1 Tb sweetened peach matcha powder

6 Tb chia seeds

The coconut milk must be lite, or it will be too fatty to set properly.

Shake up the can and empty it into a bowl. Whisk in the matcha powder. I meant to put in 1/2 tablespoon but I spilled in a bit more, which probably ended up being about right. Stir in chia seeds. Cover well and refrigerate overnight. Portion into individual servings if desired.

I came up with this idea to use up some leftover sweetened matcha powder from before my diabetes diagnosis and to have an easy high protein high fiber dessert to go with Asian food. But hot damn. Cold, lightly sweet and very refreshing. I’m tempted to actually buy more matcha powder now so I can try more flavors 😅

I got my matcha powder from here (Etsy link). It doesn’t look like she has peach in stock atm but I’m looking at the pumpkin spice like 👀👀👀 Whisk in a dollop or two of pumpkin purée maybe??

A question for my diabetic followers or with similar sugar restrictions:

What are some good and relatively simple ingredient-wise sweet recipes you like for baked goods. Preferably ones that are low sugar but don't involve buying a ton of specialty ingredients. (Also side tangent, it's annoying how many recipes that come up when you search low sugar are drenched in toxic beauty diet culture). I am broke and not diabetic, so I can't justify pricey special ingredients, but I have a coworker who is diabetic and I want to have treats that are easier for them to enjoy without having to make massive adjustments to their eating for the day if they want a treat.

I used to have some of my mom's old cake recipes that were low sugar but rich in flavour due to rationing/a lot of European baking not being as sugary as North American ones, but I lost my old notebook with them and I think a few were her own modifications or not super popular with the recipe crowds online.

Strawberry Penna Cottas - 130 kcal/5g protein

Servings: 4 - 130 kcal/5g protein per serving

1-1/2 cups whole milk

1-1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin

1-1/2 pints strawberries, halved

2 tablespoons Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pint strawberries, sliced

Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small saucepan; let stand 1 minute. Cook over low heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves (do not boil). Set aside to cool.

Process 1-1/2 pints strawberries in a food processor, or until pureed, stopping to scrape down sides. Press strawberries through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding solids. Stir cooled milk mixture into strawberry puree. Add Splenda Granulated Sweetener and vanilla, stirring until Splenda Granulated Sweetener dissolves.

Coat 4 (6-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray. Divide strawberry mixture evenly among ramekins. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight until panna cottas are set.

Run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and unmold onto serving plates. Serve with sliced strawberries.
