- 0.25 cup erythritol
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, erythritol, lemon juice, and water.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently until erythritol is dissolved.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and release their juices.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract, then sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture while whisking continuously to avoid clumping.
Step 5
Continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the strawberry filling cool. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
