More and more companies are offering no sugar added products that can be used by themselves or in combination with healthy ingredients to lower the carbs in what we eat for dessert. Edy's makes slow-churned ice cream varieties that are creamy and quite tasty. Lately we've been buying M-T Fine puddings that are made with splenda. We make the pudding 2% milk and eat it hot over fresh fruit. Chocolate and bananas, vanilla and just about anything.
Now Comstock is making a cherry pie filling that tastes better to me than the normal sugary kind. It's just a little more tart. We make it into a pie and sprinkle just a TBSP of splenda sugar blend on top and it turns out quite delicious. Sometimes we make a crumble for it rather than using pie crust, and it makes a great topping for sugar free ice cream.
Pillsbury is making chocolate and vanilla cake mixes and frostings that are sugar free but taste very much like the real thing. We were eating those for a while but I must say, we found the substitute to be gas-provoking! So don't eat it on a night before you have to go to work!
Feel free to add your comments and share what you've found for low carb, healthy desserts!
