Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 50 grams erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 60 milliliters water
- 15 milliliters lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, erythritol, water, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the erythritol dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries are soft and start to break down.
Use a fork or a potato masher to lightly mash the strawberries, leaving some chunks for texture.
In a small bowl, mix the xanthan gum with a little cold water to make a slurry, then stir it into the strawberry mixture. This will help thicken the filling.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the filling has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the strawberry filling to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a jar or airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a filling for desserts or as a topping for low-carb treats.
