I have two questions about the diabetic icing recipe on this site that contains the following ingredients:
1 pint Whipping Cream
1 box Sugar Free Pudding
16 ounces Cream Cheese
3 TBSP Splenda
#1 Does this icing need to be refrigerated after it is put on the cake?
#2 What size pudding mix needs to be used?
Please help!
TIA,
April

Yes, you would need to refrigerate due to the dairy ingredients, although you could leave it out for quite some time in a well cooled area, without spoilage!
And the pudding is the small size...If you did however, use the large--it's only going to make the icing more "stiff."
So, no biggie there either way...hope this helps,

This would need to be refrigerated.
I made the frosting that was kind of like this. I found the recipe on this website. It was SO yummy!
You just use a tub of sugar free cool whip instead of the whipping cream and the splenda.
I used the small box of Jello sugar instant pudding.
I don't know about this recipe though.
Thanks for the help! This cake is for my sister's bday (her boyfriend is diabetic), so my mom just bought both sizes of pudding....so no big deal there.
amybeth....sugar free cake....I am trying a snack cake mix made by sweet 'n low that i found at kroger (mommymarilyn has used it and said it was pretty good). It does not make a lot of cake....one mix was enough to fill the smallest wilton oval. I will let everyone know in a couple of days if it was good or not! They also sell a chocolate version too! You may check your grocery store in the section where they sell "diet" foods.

Here is someplace that sells them online as well to give you an idea what to look for. It is a small box....a little expensive, but then you only have to add water.
I encourage you to use the recipe. Diabetics REALLY need to enjoy something sweet every now and then, and those of us who are avoiding REAL SUGAR like to benefit, too.
Splenda is a great alternative to using other artificial sweeteners in recipes. I'm finding some recipes take to it better than others... Have you tried a recipe replacing real sugar with splenda? there is also another product called stevia which is QUITE sweet, in powdered form. It isn't sold in America as a sweetener, but behaves like one. FDA has c ertain marketing restrictions on it. Sold in Wild Oats.
My parents use Stevia. I don't really like the flavor. They have been using it for years. I guess they don't get it in the powdered form.
I guess I am going to have to look at some more of the sugar free cake recipes around. I don't usually make cakes from scratch, but I guess I will just have to give in and do it if I ever want to enjoy one of the cakes that I make.
