It has about 1/3 of the sugar that would be in a typical cobbler, and some additional sweetness is provided by sucralose. We also tend to eat our desserts a bit less sweet than others might prefer. Ditto on the homemade ice cream--I use 1/4 to 1/3 the amount of sugar that recipes call for (and there is a chemical reason for this quantity of sugar being in there, ice cream does not really freeze smoothly without some sugar in it--sugar performs similarly to alcohol in an ice cream recipe).<br /><br />In case anyone is inspired to make their own, this is the blackberry cobbler recipe I've been using: http://www.deepsouthdish.com/2010/06/blackberry-dumpling-cobbler.html . And again, I use a lot less actual sugar, with some sugar substitute; I also sub in "white" whole wheat flour and use a combination of butter and shortening in the biscuit.<br /><br />And this is the vanilla ice cream recipe I'm using, pretty much: http://www.joyofbaking.com/VanillaIceCream.html . With the 1/4 sugar + sucralose, also I sub in whole eggs rather than just yolks because I can't stand waste.<br /><br />Sarah aka Andrew's wife aka The Baker in the FamilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-53576481140308645972012-09-21T08:25:14.331-07:002012-09-21T08:25:14.331-07:00Warp drive!

And then the 2011 A to Z Challenge changed it again and that finally came together at the beginning of this year. <br />I like where I am with my blog now.
