Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and diced
- 0.25 cup erythritol
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, erythritol, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently until erythritol is dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and release their juices.
Add the vanilla extract, then sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture while whisking continuously to avoid clumping.
Continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the strawberry filling cool. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the filling to a jar or container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Use the strawberry filling as desired in your favorite keto desserts or as a topping.
