Stevia in the Raw is what I used for stevia. I got it from Kroger. although people here are saying it's not the best option for staying keto. I ordered my erythritol on amazon and its this kind. Hope that helps!
You can buy Erythritol and use it like sugar. When I was doing keto, I experimented with a lot of desserts using this sugar alcohol.
Be forewarned though -- sugar alcohols will give you crazy diarrhea if you overeat them. So, be careful.
I buy erythritol from the health food store and you can also get it online.
Good luck and let me know how the coconut milk goes! :)
I ordered all 3 of their sweeteners (Monk Fruit, Erythritol, and Reb-A). Took about 2 weeks to get here.
The monk fruit was really super sweet, but imparted a off taste to my mix (Wasn't a bad off taste; just different). I will be skipping the monk fruit as a sweetener myself, but may come back to it and try it in a bakery style juice. Used at .5% (Also I noticed a bit a gunkiness on the coil, but not as bad as using regular sweetener)
The Reb-A (Stevia) was also really sweet but it had a strange "bitter?" taste at the end of the vape that I didn't enjoy. It is better than some stevia sweeteners I have tried, but not something I would use again. Used at .75%
The Erythritol was AMAZING, but required a higher percentage to achieve sweetness. Basicly it's less sweet than other sweeteners, but it has no aftertaste and does not change flavor profile at all. It really is the most amazing sweetener I have tried. That being said I Ordered Erythritol off of amazon and mixed up my own recently. It would be the cheapest route, and probably the fastest way to get some. Used this at 2%.
I use Erythritol, it is more expensive than sugar obviously but tastes pretty much like sugar but without calories and a GI of 0.
I only tolerate Stevia in foods that are strongly flavored on their own like chocolate, yogurt, or a dark tea.
If you're baking or making anything without a strong flavor on its own, use Erythritol instead. I prefer the NOW Foods brand of it.
Yeah, I'd reckon something like that for isomalt.
With Erythritol, you can buy it by itself. It's commonly sold as Truvia (Erythritol + Stevia Extract + "Natural Flavors" - watch out for the spoonable/baking mixes, since those have sugar in it) or, preferably, you can buy the NOW Foods brand Erythritol, which is my personal choice. I generally go for the 2.5 lb. bag since it tends to be the best value, but buy whatever you'd like.
As for the taste itself, it's about 70% as sweet as sugar, and has a cooling aftertaste (not unlike mint). It's great in baking, although I'd recommend powdering it if you can, if you own a spice grinder.
For baking and other applications that require volume, I use the NOW Foods brand Erythritol , while I use liquid sucralose extract for liquids and to compensate for the reduced sweetness that Erythritol has.
I try to avoid artificial sweeteners too, although sometimes I indulge in the occasional diet soda (prior to starting this diet, I drank soda all the time. Now it's water 95% of the time). That said, I've been sweetening my morning coffee with erythritol (like this stuff) because it's natural, has 0 glycemic impact, and basically has zero calories.
Whipped cream is heavy cream, sweetener of choice (I use NOW Foods Erythritol - 10 net carbs per 200 grams, or 5% of the carbs and calories of sugar), and maybe some vanilla extract.
I make mine in a food processor. Just throw in some heavy cream and extract, and sweeten to taste. Just keep in mind that you'll get twice as much whipped cream from the heavy cream you initially used (so 1 cup heavy cream = 2 cups of whipped cream).
You can freeze whipped cream. In fact, here's a little tip from thekitchn.
Personally, I use pure erythritol. This stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Erythritol-Pure-Sweetener-1-lb/dp/B000Z978SS
This is the kind I like to buy, specifically the 2.5 lb. version. It's good quality stuff, but I'd recommend powdering it if you can.
I get Erythritol from amazon

I think erythritol is pretty cheap on amazon . 1lbs for $9.98
