Low-Carb Desserts

Here are some of my favorite desserts, which are low carb and sugar-free. You will see that I use nut flours (especially almond flour) and "liquid Splenda" a lot. Powdered Splenda can be substituted, but add the extra carbs into the count. Erythritol is often included in the chocolate recipes.
Sugar-Free Lemon Curd
Delicious lemon curd recipe, without the sugar or carbs.
Microwave Apple Almond Dessert
For me, baked apple is a comfort food. Regular recipes are full of sugar and raisins. This is sort of a cross between baked apple and an individual apple crisp, but it's done in the microwave, so it isn't crispy. Sometimes I top it with yogurt, or mascarpone cheese mixed with the flavored sugar-free syrup.
Low Carb Chocolate Ganache (for Truffles or Sauce)
This sugar free low carb chocolate ganache can be used to make truffles or a chocolate sauce.
Strawberry Shortcake
You don't have to write off strawberry shortcake just because you're on a diet!
