Challenge: Low Carb Dessert Recipe Needed WITHOUT Artificial Sweetners, and Non-Dairy

Do you worry about Splenda with all the controversy surrounding it? As
i understand it is made from something called sucralose, which is not
sugar like they say.

Nope. If I spent precious time worrying about every little thing some
Chicken Little decided to start throwing hyster-i-fits about I
wouldn't have time left to sleep and would be dead inside of a month.

Every breath you take involves taking a chance.

I don't like it because of the aftertaste.

That usually means that I used too much.

Wow, good ideas. Things I did not think about. But . . . more ideas
please! Keep them coming.

Baked fruit? Or braised in a red wine and mulling spices mix? Then serve
with mascarpone cheese, or creme frais.

Low-carb brownies and icecream?

A really nice chesse board.

in the middle of strawberry land, I just might find some really good
ones at one of the local stands.

You know yogurt is ok for people that are lactose intolerant, because the
live cultures eat the lactose. Why not make a berry mix and layer it with
yogurt.

Or just fruit.

That would be my solution. I no longer make traditional desserts, but there
is nothing better (in my opinion) than a huge bowl with a nice variety of
ripe, lucious fruit. It can also be a beautiful presentation and does not
need to look like something was just "thrown together." A nice topping can
add to the effect -- I just use plain nonfat yogurt, but you could easily
add some subtle flavorings to make it more special for the occasion
(amaretto, for example)

artificial sweetners, even Splenda, as I can tell the difference.
They will too. Intensely chocolate is not a big success.

As a result, I want some control over what is served for dessert; I
expect dinner will be easy enough as meat is the thing.

So - what recipes can you suggest that can be delicious without the
use of a lot of sugar, but preferably no sugar. Cheese cake is
acceptable, but there is crust, and I have recipes for that. Ricotta
pie is the same. I can scrape off crust.

If you have the recipe, could you post it, or a link for me?

Thanks!

I mentioned fruit in my previous message (as have many others). However, I
suddenly remembered a marvellous way of serving fruit that a friend served
many years ago -- and I can still picture that beautiful luncheon. She
served gorgeous fruit shish-ka-bobs, and she had a centerpiece prepared from
hollowed-out pineapples and filled with still more fruit so we could help
ourselves if we wanted more.

that IS a great idea mary..................thanks!

You may wish to try one of the liquid versions of splenda (syrup base) that
you can get on the internet. They don't have any fillers which can influence
the aftertaste affect.
