Low Carb Milk Powder substitute.
I am a diabetic, so I avoid regular/skim milks. They have a lot of sugar/carbs. The Full fat cream I buy from Promised Land Dairy here in San Antonio has zero carbs and sugar. I get my dairy fix, without sugar/carbs.
This heavy cream does have some carbs, 1 gram carb/tablespoon. Which isn't bad. Regular milk powder has like 6 grams carb/tablespoon. So, it's a significant difference. For a Diabetic, that is huge.
I make my chocolate with this, cacao butter, raw cacoa and a Stevia. Milk chocolate requires milk powder. I substitute this to keep sugars/carbs down. Basically the only carbs I get in my milk chocolate, is from the raw cacoa powder. My milk chocolate is pretty good too...lol.
A few people have said this tastes just like real cream. Well, I don't know what real cream they are using, but it doesn't taste like my Promised Land cream. lol. I have tried it in coffee, and it doesn't come close to my real cream. However, if you're in an office and having to use a creamer, yeah...this is much better than that. It does clump, so put a little coffee in first and mix it well before adding the rest of your coffee.
Anyway, I will find some new ways I can use this instead of milk powder. But, just having it available opens up a lot of doors for Diabetics.
