I am very sensitive to maltitol, but not erythritol. How can this recipe be changed to use, say PolyD, erythritol and Splenda? What amounts of each could be used to reach the desired sweetness and synergy? Also, why does using just erythritol by itself have a “cooling” effect (meaning a minty flavor) on the cooled finished product? Thanks for your help and great recipes.
