I found a recipe for Lemon Cloud on a low glycemic Web site.\u00a0 However, I have learned a lot during the years I have been writing this blog.\u00a0 In particular, I\u2019ve seen that many ingredients used to make foods lower glycemic and less fattening are unhealthy in other ways. This has led me to try major clean-ups on some of my favorite recipes.\u00a0 The first attempt to fix this one led to a mouth-puckering failure!\u00a0 Here is the final result, which does work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0Lemon Cloud<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Ingredients<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One package unflavored gelatin<\/li>\n<li>juice of two medium lemons<\/li>\n<li>One can of coconut milk<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla<\/li>\n<li>8 oz. package cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>Sugar substitute to taste (about 1\/2 cup)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Directions<\/p>\n<p>Place the coconut milk in an uncovered bowl in the refrigerator for several hours, or overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Juice the lemons and add enough water to make one cup of liquid.\u00a0 Bring to a boil and dissolve the unflavored gelatin and about 1\/4 cup sugar substitute in the hot water.\u00a0 Add one cup of cold water and refrigerate\u00a0 until it begins to thicken.<\/p>\n<p>Beat the \u00a0room temperature cream cheese with about 1\/4 cup sugar and the vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>Whip the coconut milk in the chilled bowl until it is the consistency of whipped cream.\u00a0 Whip together with the cream cheese mixture and the slightly thickened gelatin.\u00a0 Refrigerate until thickened.<\/p>\n<p>The coconut milk is much healthier than the non-dairy whipped topping and it gives a coconutty flavor which blends well with the lemon.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t like the taste of coconut, you can use whipped cream instead.\u00a0 It\u2019s still better for you than the stuff in the round plastic container.<\/p>\n<p>Lemon Cloud is good just by itself as a mousse.\u00a0 It also makes a great lemon cheesecake pie filling on a low glycemic crust. Hmm.\u00a0 I\u2019ll have to print some piecrust options next week.<\/p>\n<p>Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n<p>Susan Jordan Brown<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s recipe day &#8212; and I\u2019ve been working on a healthier version of an old favorite.
