Low Glycemic/low Carb Desserts

[ChocolatChaud]

My brother and I both has issues with sugar....he's diabetic and I am insulin resistant. I would like to be able to cook some desserts for the both of us because clearly the regular dessert fare is unacceptable. Any ideas?

If you like cheesecake, here is a recipe I have tried and people who are not low carbing even like this one.

This is a favorite of mine:

3 Minute Chocolate Cake:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup almond flour (1 ounce)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated Splenda

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
3 drops almond extract (optional) (could also use 3 drops of peppermint extract)



How to Prepare:

Mix the almond flour, cocoa, baking powder and Splenda in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Stir in the butter, water, egg and extract. Mix well with a spoon or fork. Scrape batter down evenly with a rubber spatula. Pour into a microwaveable glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap, cutting a small slit in center to vent. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute 20 seconds. Cool slightly and serve warm topped with heavy whipping cream.

The carb count is 4.5 carbs for the whole thing, 2.25 per serving.

You could make a cream cheese frosting using soft cream cheese, Splenda and some unsweet cocoa. Mix the unsweet cocoa and Splenda dry, in a bowl first. Then add the softened cream cheese.
