Dessert Recipes

Cantaloupe and Honeydew are not the lowest carb fruits by any means BUT they can fit nicely into a Low-Carb lifestyle that is at or near your goal weight. Add blueberries for a great occasional fruit dessert.

I prefer a light and refreshing Low-Carb dessert after a heavy meal and fresh fruit is usually my preference. If you don't care for my fruit choices, feel free to substitute with your own favorite low glycemic fruits for the Cantaloupe Wedges. Adding the Swerve Granular Sweetener to the fruit gives it a bit of extra sweetness as well as macerate the fruit which allows the natural sweetness to shine. I have found that frozen organic blueberries work best in this recipe.

Back in an earlier lesson, I gave you a recipe for a Zapple-based dessert. Now, I give you Crockpot Zapple Wedges made with Jicama. This perfect Low-Carb hot "apple" recipe that can be used as a side dish when serving pork. Apples always taste good with pork, and Crockpot Zapple Wedges made with Jicama and Apple Pie spice are reminiscent of delicious, hot scalloped apples.

My family loves dessert and the thought of foregoing it for the rest of my life is unacceptable. Enter my Low-Carb Gluten-Free Gelatin Parfait. It's sweet, creamy, and refreshing. In short, it's the perfect ending to any meal. You can have fun and switch out different flavored gelatins. If you're Paleo, you can make your own flavored gelatin and substitute it for the boxed gelatin. Either way, it will become one your go-to favorites!

Low-Carb does not mean giving up all your favorite sweet treats. It just means being a bit more creative. I've taken all the guess work out of it for you with my No-Bake Chocolate Mocha Cheesecake. This recipe is incredibly simple but it will look like you spent hours slaving over a hot stove. This cheesecake is a chocolate lovers dream!

Sunshine Cantaloupe is a fun and whimsical dessert recipe. It's a great make-ahead recipe and stays fresh in the refrigerator for several days. You can use any flavor sugar-free Jell-O gelatin you like and I guarantee that young children will go crazy for this dessert.

Apples tend to be pretty high in sugar so I try to avoid them as much as possible. However, Low-Carb jicama slices (zapple) soaked in a fruit flavored drink mix, give me the same textural mouth feel and crunch as an apple without all the sugar of an apple. Jicama has become very popular so finding it at your local supermarket shouldn't be difficult. Many times you can find it pre-cleaned and sliced. If you can find it that way, go for it!

If you don't want them to be "sour" worms, omit the unsweetened Kool-Aid. If you make this with sugar-free lime gelatin and lemonade powdered drink mix, they come our an eerie glowing green shade that my son thinks is cool.

This rich and dreamy piece of chocolate heaven will amaze and impress even the toughest of critics at your next gathering. This Low-Carb Gluten-Free no-bake dessert will appear as if you spent countless hours in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove when in fact this recipe is quick and easy; so just smile and accept your new rock star status with grace.

I adapted this Low-Carb Custard Pie recipe from a low-carb cup custard recipe sent to me by my friend Khrystah! Aside from the amazing taste of this custard, there is only 1 gram of carbs per slice–that means you can have a second helping! This custard is the perfect satisfying ending to any great meal.
