Ingredients:

The above ingredients were purchased in Hungary. I used cottage cheese instead of mascarpone, but it works with mascarpone too, it would make a smoother mixture. The carb content is calculated on the basis of the items bought in Hungary.

 

Use of sorbitol:
 

While sorbitol’s slow absorption by the body can have a helpful impact on the gastrointestinal system, excessive amounts of it can have a negative impact. Negative impacts include bloating, diarrhea, flatulence, cramping, and other intestinal issues. Do not consume more than 20g sorbitol/day.

 

Sorbitol has been labeled safe for consumption by several food oversight groups. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Scientific Committee for Food of the European Union, and the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization have all determined sorbitol is safe. The FDA has labeled sorbitol to be “generally regarded as safe.”
