The Recipe Instructions |
|||
Ingredients
3/4 tsp unflavored gelatin
1 tbsp cold water
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup ice water
2 tbsp confectioner's sugar*
1 tsp vanilla or other flavoring
Directions
A fluffy, all-purpose topping that can double as a filling. Properly
whipped, it will be stiff enough to mound or pipe through a pastry
bag. (My note: may also be frozen by spoonfuls or in shapes on waxed
paper either plain or with small pieces of fruit mixed in. Also try
with powdered sugar substitute or chocolate powder.)
Soften the gelatin in the cold water in a small heatproof measuring
cup. Set the cup in a pan of simmering water and heat about 4 minutes
until the gelatin dissolves; remove from heat. (or microwave for
about 10 seconds)
Combine the dry milk, ice water, and confectioner's sugar in the
chilled small bowl of an electric mixer, then beat with chilled
beaters at medium speed until foamy. With the motor running,
carefully pour the gelatin down the side of the bowl so that it
doesn't hit the beaters and spatter all over.
Continue beating at medium speed for 7 to 10 minutes until it is the
texture of whipped cream, then beat in the vanilla. If not used
immediately, store in the refrigerator or freeze in desired shapes.
The mixture deflates on standing and may be rebeaten. Allow 1/2 cup
frozen topping to thaw about 15 minutes before serving.

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss regime is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of foods and an indicator of the rapidity that the energy of the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters body. The believe is that slow acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can take in fewer food without feeling hungry. It's also extremely good for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in controlling surges in blood glucose amount. Foods containing carotenes (includes carrots, turnip greens and sweet potatoes) These plants contain the carotenoids believed by many to play a role in minimizing the chances of contracting, specifically of the the esophagus. A good number are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your diet. |
