    Hi, I'm a paying member and I'm not American. I support your site because it's been a complete revelation and has helped me to revert my DT2 in two months time.
    I really follow your site daily and have found a lot of very informative content. It seems to me that the information is being directed to everyone, but I really do not appreciate those signs of American chauvinism in between the lines. I find it even repulsiveโ€ฆ

    Try please to maintain an open view about the information and the public that is using the site.

    Thank you very much for your efforts!!!

    American chauvinism Sergio?

    Just arrange the strawberries and blueberries into a different pattern and call it the flag of the Netherlands

    This looks amazing, and I have everything on hand, yay!

    Sergio, July 4th is a holiday celebrated only in the US, re its independence from Britain. It's not a political statement from Diet Doctor. Are you also offended by Canada Day? German Unity Day? Cinco de Mayo? No? Then I promise you will get over this greivous insult. FYI, we Americans are not all gun-toting racists, I promise!

    Please find a hobby or other way to entertain yourself besides being offended by berries and/or holidays celebrated in other countries. Your health with be better for it. :)

    I might have to do this for a Friday evening desert. It looks so good, but will do without the sweetener.

    Hello Sergio,

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We always appreciate feedback on our recipes. I'm sorry if this recipe offended you, that was not our intention.

    More than half of our visitors are from the US and that was why we wanted to offer this recipe as inspiration for an upcoming holiday. As mentioned previously, you can arrange the berries anyway you like and the recipe will be just as delicious.

    Our goal is to empower people everywhere by making low carb and keto simple and we try to do that by sharing recipes inspired by cuisines worldwide.

    Among our recipes you will also find ones from France, Sweden, India, Thailand, Japan, Hungary and Mexico to name a few. If you have a great Dutch recipe to share with us, we would be happy and honored to make it and publish it here on our site.

    Best,

    Kristin

    I just made this but I put the "flag" on whipped cream atop a LCHF cheesecake to celebrate the 4th of July birthday of a girlfriend. It turned out great and so simple. Thanks for the inspiration.

    What size bowl do you use for this? Thank you.

    A bowl that is approximately 2 quarts should work well.

    There is a button on the recipe to change the measurements to metric. You can also Google how to convert one measurement to another, such as tsp to ml, or whatever you commonly use.

    Good gravy, people, itโ€™s a CAKE for a National US HOLIDAY. Itโ€™s not a mandatory recipe! Make it or donโ€™t.
    I love my country, the USA. No crime there.
    I bet you love your country, too. You should.
    Letโ€™s all just love each other. After all, we ALL share the same planet! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’–

    Don't like the revised nutrition info - I use total calories, not net, and without the fiber info I can't do the quick calculation to get total carbs. Sure, I can input the entire recipe into Cronometer, but I really shouldn't have to.

    That should be "total carbs, not net".

    We always display the total carbs as well as net carbs. Please click on the colored carb circle or the word Nutrition under the list of ingredients. The total carbs are listed under the carb circle in the pop up.

    I know this says to serve immediately, why would this not chill and then serve ? Looking to make a low carb dessert and serve after dinner and this sounds delish!

    You could certainly chill it before serving, however it may be a bit thicker.
