I'm trying to come up with a good Thanksgiving dessert that's not loaded with sugar, but that doesn't taste like diet food. Has anyone baked (cakes or pies) with stevia? I'm wondering how it works as a sugar sub in, say, pumpkin or pecan pie. Thanks1

I would get a stevia cookbook or look for recipes online. I would not do any experimenting with it. I made apple crisp for myself with it once and something tasted off but I'm not sure what it was.

I have tried baking with stevia a bit, and everything ends up with a sort of funny taste. What I have been doing lately is reducing the amount of sugar in a recipe by about 1/2 and adding a little stevia to make up the difference. This seems to work much better.
