Why Monkfruit Is a Smart Sweetener
If you are looking for a natural, low-calorie sweetener, monk fruit (also known as Luo Han Guo) is one of the most popular alternatives to sugar. Originally from southern China, monk fruit has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and, more recently, as a sweetener in modern nutrition.
Unlike regular sugar, monk fruit extract contains zero calories and zero carbohydrates, which makes it a great option for people who want to reduce their sugar intake, manage weight, or maintain stable blood glucose levels.

Sí! la verdad es que es una delicia, y mi versión sin azúcar no tiene nada que envidiar a la tradicional. Gracias por comentar! 😉

¿es posible sustituir la harina de almendra y coco por otro tipo de harina?
missblasco
Hola Edu, este tipo de tartas se suelen hacer con harina regular de trigo, pero yo nunca la he preparado así, también podrías usar harina de avena o de otros cereales, mezclándolas entre sí, pero como te comento, no puedo ayudarte porque nunca lo he probado, suelo utilizar almendra molida y harina de coco para aligerar un poco, porque no contienen gluten y cumplen con los preceptos de mi alimentación baja en carbohidratos. Saludos!

Muchas gracias por tu comentario Bernardita! Un abrazo! 😉

Muy rica, la verdad, pero no sé si es la marca de eritritol que utilicé que quedó como arenosa.
Puede ser ?
Gracias
missblasco
Hola, si pusiste la cantidad de eritritol que especifica la receta, no creo que el problema haya sido ese. El ingrediente que a veces otorga una textura arenosa es la harina de coco, pero si has usado harina de coco (NO COCO RALLADO) y en la candidad que pone en la receta tampoco tiene sentido que te haya pasado. La harina de coco da esa textura arenosa cuando se usa en exceso. Saludos!
Patricia
Buenos dias , puede ser que el eritrotol, deje un sabor amargo en la boca? Cuando se cocina, en los budines??? Soy de argentina
missblasco
Hola, a mi nunca me ha pasado, usando las cantidades adecuadas, claro, nunca hay que excederse. Lo único que el eritritol produce es un sabor metálico o fresco, especialmente en preparaciones secas, tipo muffins o bizcochos. En budín o cremas no se nota nada. Muchas gracias por tu valoración. Saludos!.
Leonela Gómez
Hola una pregunta, se podría hacer la tarta utilizando sólo harina de almendras? Cuánto sería la cantidad que se utilizaría?
missblasco
Hola Leonela, supongo que te refieres a sustituir la harina de coco por harina de almendra, puedes hacer el cambio por la misma cantidad, al final te tiene que quedar una masa consistente, pero jugosa. Prueba cambiando 1/4 de taza de harina de coco por 1/4 de taza de almendra molida. Saludos! 😉
