How To Enjoy Sweets Without the Added Sugar: A blog about desserts that are low in sugar!

Introduction

You love dessert, but you don’t like the extra sugar that comes with it. Luckily for you, there are plenty of ways to get your sweet fix without all of the added sugar. Here are some recipes that will keep you from going into a diabetic coma!

3 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles

When it comes to enjoying a chocolate dessert, you don’t need added sugar. In fact, the recipe for these 3 Ingredient Chocolate Truffles is so simple that you can make it right at home. All you need are a few common ingredients and some time to let them chill in the freezer! The best part is that they’re high in antioxidants that help keep your body healthy while tasting delicious too. Now how’s that for a sweet deal?

You’ll need:

1 cup cocoa powder (raw cacao powder works too)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup coconut butter (I like Nutiva brand)

Chocolate Covered Fruity Bites

The first thing you want to do is mix all the ingredients together in a food processor. You can also use a blender, but I like how quick and easy it is to use my food processor for this recipe.

Once you’ve mixed everything together, it’s time to put your fruit bites in a mold so that they don’t stick together or break apart when being removed from the pan. For this recipe, I used small silicone molds that were made specifically for making candy-coated treats like these fruit bites. If you’re using different molds than mine, don’t worry if they’re not exactly the same size because they will still taste just as good!

Now comes the fun part: dipping each bite into melted chocolate! Pour melted dark chocolate into each mold (or whatever container you are using) until it’s about half full then place each filled mold onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper (make sure there are no holes in your plastic wrap so air doesn’t get trapped inside while cooling!). After letting them cool completely (about 30 minutes), flip over carefully onto another piece of parchment paper/wax paper on top so that any excess chocolate drips off easily before removing from their containers completely

Raw Berry Parfait

Ingredients:
Dairy-free yogurt (I like coconut yogurt for this dessert)
Fresh berries of your choice. I used strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries! You can also use peaches or other stone fruits if you want a different flavor profile.
Coconut flakes to top it off! The coconut oil helps keep the parfait from getting too hard in the freezer, but if you don’t have any on hand just leave it out. Also feel free to swap out maple syrup for honey or agave nectar if that’s what you have lying around (or even artificial sweeteners like stevia). As long as it’s sweet enough for your liking then go ahead and use whatever suits your fancy!

Cinnamon Banana Ice Cream

This is a delicious, low-sugar, dairy-free ice cream recipe! Bananas are a good source of potassium and vitamin C. They can help with digestion and heart health.

This recipe has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners, but it does use unsweetened almond milk!

Cinnamon Walnut Date Balls

To make these low-sugar balls, you’ll need:

1 ½ cups walnuts (or pecans)
¾ cup pitted dates (about 10)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Put the walnuts in your food processor and process until they’re finely chopped. Add the dates and pulse until the mixture begins to stick together, like dough. Press gently into balls using your hands or a scoop with a ¼ cup measure. You can then roll them in some small flakes of sea salt for extra flavor! These will store well for several days at room temperature or refrigerated. They are best if eaten within a few hours after being made—they get soft rather quickly as they sit out on countertops!

You can still have dessert even if you don’t want to add extra sugar!

There are many alternatives to sugar that you can use to make your desserts healthier. Here are some examples:

Honey – Honey has a higher glycemic index than sugar, but it is still much lower in calories and is full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes.
Coconut Sugar – Coconut sugar is made from the sap of the coconut palm tree. This natural sweetener contains no chemicals or additives. Coconut sugar is also rich in iron and calcium, making it good for your body as well as your taste buds!
Stevia – Stevia comes from an herb that grows in South America called stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (or just stevia). It’s 300 times sweeter than table sugar but with zero calories or carbs!

Conclusion

It’s easy to enjoy sweets without the extra sugar! We hope that these recipes will inspire you to try something new and maybe even help you create your own.
