Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Egg Whites
  • 1 cup Low Carb Sugar Substitute (Granulated)
  • ¾ cup Low Carb Sugar Substitute (Liquid) or keto maple syrup
  • 1 cup Walnuts toasted
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Vanilla Beans
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, stir together the granulated Erythritol with the liquid Erythritol, vanilla, and salt until evenly mixed. Place over medium-high heat and cook without stirring for about 3 minutes, until golden and bubbly or until a candy thermometer inserted into the mixture reaches 104ºC/220ºF.
  • In the meantime, pour the egg whites in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and beat the egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Increase the mixer speed to very high. Gradually add the hot syrup, in a stream, into the egg whites. Beat until the mixture gets very thick and glossy for about 8-10 minutes. Fold in the toasted walnuts.
  • Preheat the oven to 140ºF.
  • Line a baking sheet with baking paper and pour in the mixture.
  • Allow to dry in the preheated oven at 140ºF for 2 hours.
  • Using a wet knife, cut it into 24 pieces and allow it to cool before serving.
