Diary of a Cheese Free Oopsie!

[ClaireCat]

Ok, so I love these little things! I'm cutting out all cheese this week, so the cream cheese in my oopsies has had to go because I'm wondering if thats whats stalling me.

So, my oopsies are made with:

3 eggs (seperated)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 dessert spoons of mayo

I mix my yokes and mayo together and put the bowl in the freezer with a desert spoon while im whisking the whites and cream of tartar.

Then I slowly combine the yoke mix into the whites before I bake on a silicone mat for about 20-30mins at 150.

I dont add any salt/pepper or sweetener. Not for any other reason apart from I'm too lazy to make two seperate batches - one savoury and one sweet!

The mayo actually works pretty damn well. Granted, they dont taste exactly the same, but they do the job!

Fresh cheese free oopsies!

Oopsie with creme fresh (2tsp splenda, 1/2tsp cocoa, 4 tsp creme fresh) - delish!

Very nice!

What's the texture like in comparison to the generic recipe?

 

[ClaireCat]

Its not too different to be honest. Perhaps slightly drier. I'll only make them this way from now on I think, even if it turns out its not the cheese thats stalling me. It mixes better and its less hassle than trying to whisk cheese lol!

What a clever girl you are Claire! They look fab

 

[ClaireCat]

I had to use my imagination. I cant live without pretend rolls! lol! I'm debating trying to make them with soya yogurt, but not sure. Might try a little batch and see!

 

[StephenP]

Nice one try these next weeks thanks

Stephen

 

[ClaireCat]

No problem Stephen! Wasnt sure if they'd work, but they're not bad! I think greek yogurt would have a better consistancy than the soya - might try both and see! hehe!

I feel creative!

 

[StephenP]

Nice please let us know how they turn out.

I think I will try these Claire. Thanks

This is quite a good thing you've come up with Claire.... normally cream cheese isn't cheap, and you'd have to use a whole pack. Mayonnaise is a lot cheaper and lower in carbs (certain brands). Really good. Sorry I took so long to think about this - I think earlier I just stared at the photos rather than think of cost saving. lol

wow they look great claire, you must be a whizz in the kitchen! :0)

 

[ClaireCat]

I get by in the kitchen! hehe!

Probably wont get around to trying the yogurt ones until some point during the week because, well, I cant be ar**d going to the shop! lol!

I thought i'd post this because I know alot of people on here cant have cheese, and well, I wanted to bombard everyone with oopsie photo's!

 

[BlackRose]

[NikkiM32]

Oh my they look great ClaireCat...if we pay u wud u send out some samples I'm too lazy to attempt these and wud probably make a disaster of them lol x

 

[ClaireCat]

I'm not sure they'd travel well! However, if you want to come over for a cuppa, I can make u a sandwich, roll, panini, cake....?!

I was going to make these last night, then realised I didn't have any bicarb of soda...ggrrrrrrrrrrrr. I made cheddar & parmesan crisps instead. Lush still warm with butter & marmite on

 

[Kat1e]

Ooh - cheese crisps with marmite - now that sounds good!

 

[ellesbelles]

Oh wow, Claire they look amazing :O Those bacons ones have got my tummy rumbling!
