low carb dessert recipes

However, most dessert recipes would not qualify as a health-food because they use too much fat and sugar and very little cocoa solids. This can become a huge problem for diabetics or those on a diet. It is important to keep your sweet tooth satisfied. But it is equally important to count the calories and cut out the fat.

There are several diabetic or low-carb recipes available. Most low-carb recipes simply use a sugar substitute, which contains aspartame. One method is to use soya flour or a protein mixture and soya cream instead of refined flour and milk-cream.

You can use peanut butter, which is a healthier option. Use rice crispies instead of dry fruits. Use fruits in their natural form, which will bring sweetness and non-chemical flavour. Use more oatmeal and less refined grains. Dark chocolate is preferable to milky ones. Do not use sweetened fruit preserves but fresh or frozen fruits. - author Annie zaidi
