Z3: Desserts

My husband’s favorite dessert flavor is lemon. These hit his tart meter for sure! They taste divine and have no sugar and no gluten. Your friends and family won’t need to know these aren’t “bad” for you!

These are delightfully decadent treats. A word of CAUTION: Treat them like candy!

These sweet and spicy nuts are perfect for snacking, make a great salad topper or adding a special something to your favorite desserts.

A simple, tasty seasonal desert.

A no sugar variation of my caramelized pears recipe. Still very yummy!

I found a classic Southern Living recipe and took out all the sugar. These are amazing – even if I do say so myself!

If you don’t use liquor in your cooking you can leave that out. You can also flavor them with stevia flavorings. You could have coconut, vanilla or other flavors.

One piece of advice on this recipe, eat it fast. That means invite some folks over and try to polish this off in one seating.

Most crème brulee recipes call for caramelizing sugar on top of the custard. I love that, but the sugar is too much. So, in this case, I made up a simple strawberry sauce to go on the top instead.

Pears and chocolate go great together. Who needs candy apples when you've got these?

Chill in your refrigerator until ready to eat. If you are going to serve it the next day cover it with plastic wrap.

An easy-to-make, low-carb caramel sauce. Wowza!

This stuff is addictive and so refreshing. RARELY do I take seconds on a dessert. With this one I did.

These cookies are SOOOO good. And no flour! Just be careful what peanut butter you buy and be sure to order the sweetener ahead so you are prepared to bake and eat.

This pie comes together easily, and your family will never know they aren’t eating the usual pecan pie pile of sugar.

I hope you will like this recipe as much as we did.

A ghoulish (and healthy) Halloween snack idea.

Sinfully delicious...with only three ingredients.

The final product must be eaten right out of the freezer. They melt fast but they are a fun treat.

The parfait is a serious twist on a Cooking Light recipe I came across, so I need to give them credit but I also wanted you to know it's light and rather healthy.
