Delicious Dessert Recipes
Delicious Dessert Recipes for Diabetics!
Yes, diabetics can enjoy dessert, too! Gone are the days, such as my grandparents endured, of having to pass on dessert because you are diabetic. By being careful, you can enjoy dessert. The recipes in this article are easy to make and allow the diabetic to enjoy a tasty dessert! The first recipe is called Heavenly Delight. How aptly named; a bite of this light dessert is like a taste of heaven for only 30 calories!
HEAVENLY DELIGHT
A perfect dessert for hot summer days!
1 can (8-oz peaches in juice (no syrup), drained, rinsed, and drained again
1 small package (4-serving size) Raspberry Flavored Sugar-Free Gelatin
3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup sugar-free whipped topping*, thawed
Remove 6 peach slices and save for garnish, if desired.
Dice remaining peaches.
Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, stirring until all gelatin is dissolved. Combine the cold water with enough ice to made 1 1/4 cups. Add to the gelatin and stir until slightly thickened. Remove any remaining ice! Add the diced peaches to the gelatin.
Put 2/3 cup of the gelatin mixture into each of six dessert cups or parfait glasses. Chill for 10 minutes until almost set. Spoon whipped topping into the glasses alternately with remaining gelatin. Top each with a dollop of the whipped topping and/or a reserved peach slice. Chill approximately 30 minutes to soft set.
Approximately 30 calories each.
* Cool Whip makes a sugar-free whipped topping that tastes as good as the regular. My husband and grandchildren never know the difference. I can’t find it everywhere but my Walmart always has it.
FROZEN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
12-ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened and divided into thirds
2-ounces dark chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
1 tub (8-ounces) frozen light whipped topping, thawed
2-ounces white baking chocolate (made with cocoa butter), melted and cooled slightly
2-ounces milk chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
3 tbsp toasted hazelnuts or almonds, chopped
chocolate syrup, if desired for garnish
Line 9-inch loaf pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil that extends over sides of the pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, beat one-third of the cream cheese for 30 seconds using an electric mixer set on medium speed. Beat in the dark chocolate, fold in a third of the whipped topping; spread evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover and freeze 30 minutes or just until firm.
While mixture is in the freezer, in another mixing bowl, beat another third of the remaining cream cheese with mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in white chocolate and another third of the whipped topping. Spread mixture over the frozen dark chocolate. Cover and freeze another 30 minutes or just until firm.
While mixture is in freezer, repeat the above process again using the milk chocolate. Once spread in the pan, sprinkle with the toasted nut. Cover and freeze at least 2 hours up to 24 hours.
To serve, lift the dessert out of the pan using the foil. If necessary, let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes before removing from pan. Cut diagonally into 10 wedges.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over top of wedges when serving, if desired.
Per serving of one wedge: 195 calories, 10 g (6 sat)fat, 6 mg chol, 257 mg sodium, 18 g carbs, 1 g fiber, 7 g pro
Diabetic Exchanges: 1 carb,.5 lean meat, 2 fat. Carb choices: 1.
The above nutritional information is for the ingredients as listed. I would suggest, based on how well your diabetes is controlled, that you use sugar-free chocolate syrup, sugar-free whipped topping, and sugar-free chocolates. However, the carb to protein ratio is okay for diabetics with the original ingredients. Use your own judgement!!
Enjoy!
