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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I love this sauce over the inside out apple pie. YUM.

Feed this to the kids (and adults) instead of ice cream.

Just 10 minutes to bake the crust and the rest sets up in the refrigerator. EASY!

AKA VP Anger's 65th Birthday Dessert. This super-simple, light and dreamy dessert is easy enough for a weeknight treat and fancy enough to serve to a dinner party.

This is a pretty popular low carb pie crust recipe. I adjusted it to Zolafy it. Be sure to get some of the new sugar substitute. The Swerve people even make a powdered version you can use to make frosting!

Think peanut butter cups. The sugar has all but been taken out of these little treats. And that’s the operative word. Little. Neither kids nor adults need big treats. One or two of these can satisfy that craving in anyone. They are divine. Serve one to your kid as a treat after dinner or set out a platter of them at a dinner party. The package of two Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups has 24 grams of carbs. One of these has 4.9 grams of carbs.

Cherries that are a YES/Caution are Montmorency cherries. They are the same ones used in pies. This tastes just like pie filling. The color will be more pale because you will not be pouring in a bunch of red dye. You don’t need those chemicals in your system.
