Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh strawberries
• 50 grams erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
• 60 milliliters water
• 15 milliliters lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, erythritol, water, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the erythritol dissolves completely.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries are soft and start to break down.

Step 5

Use a fork or a potato masher to lightly mash the strawberries, leaving some chunks for texture.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the xanthan gum with a little cold water to make a slurry, then stir it into the strawberry mixture. This will help thicken the filling.

Step 7

Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the filling has thickened slightly.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 9

Allow the strawberry filling to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a jar or airtight container.

Step 10

Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a filling for desserts or as a topping for low-carb treats.
