Dessert anyone

Hi,

I just found this group but I have been doing Atkins since June 1 and
I have lost 43 pounds. I was wondering if anyone has any decent
dessert suggestions. I need stuff that doesn't involve too much
artificial sweeteners, even Splenda. I can actually taste it and it
does not taste like sugar to me. Any ideas?

Thanks

How about strawberries and whipped cream? Sugar free jello?

A few strawberries or blueberries with some creme fraiche are always
good.

frozen blueberries and full-fat plain yogurt.

Amaretto Truffles

2 1/2 tbs Hershey's cocoa
4 capfull's DaVinci Sugar-Free Amaretto Syrup
1/2 TBS butter, melted

Stir the syrup into the cocoa in a mixing bowl. Slowly add the melted
butter, stirring continuously. Roll into 3/4 in balls with clean fingers
and then dip into the cocoa powder to coat.

Makes 5.
Carbs should be about 1 per truffle.



---------





Whipped Jell-O


1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 small (3 oz.) box of Sugar Free Lime Jell-O

With mixer beaters and bowl properly chilled, pour the Jell-O in and then
the cream.

Beat on high for 5 minutes or so until whipped-cream consistency.

Spoon into individual serving dishes and refrigerate.

Fanny's Quick and Easy, No-bake, Two-layer Pumpkin Pie

First, you'd just do a crust like the one you do for your cheesecake (1c
finely chopped nuts, 5T butter, 1 egg yolk, all-spice). Then:

Bottom Layer:

A can of pumpkin
A box of sugar-free vanilla pudding
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves

Topping:

8 oz cream cheese
1 cup whipped cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
All-spice to taste

Mix bottom layer ingredients together and pour over crust.

Cream the cream cheese and fold together with whipped cream, all-spice and
vanilla. Pour on top of bottom layer. Let set in refrigerator for a few
hours.

Try using DaVinci sugar free caramel syrup instead of powdered splenda for
your low carb cooking. It doesn't have anywhere near as strong an aftertaste
and there are no hidden carbs (as there are in the powder.)

http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/recipes.htm has my favorite low carb
desserts--macaroons, pumpkin bread, almond cookies, cream cheese fudge etc.

My favorite dessert is similar:

1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup LC granola (I use Gram's Gourmet Flax 'n Nut Crunchies)
1/2 cup whole milk, plain Stoneyfarm's yogurt
1 or 2 tsp. DaVinci sugar free syrup (I use caramel, english toffee,
amaretto...whatever is available!)

And then there are days I substitute this for breakfast or lunch!
