Low Carb Desserts
March 6th, 2010 | 
Author: Low carb desserts are becoming more readily available as the industry strives to cater for our sweet tooth. Low carb desserts begin with an understanding of how sugar works. Remember that low carbo desserts should be made with a sugar substitute or sweetener and most of them shouldn’t include fruit, which are often packed with natural sugar. Strawberries and blueberries used sparingly can add natural flavor and healthy nutrients to low carb desserts.
CARBS
Carbohydrates turn into sugar within your body and then your energy crashes, sending you on a search for more carbs. But remember that carbohydrates are extremely important and should not be eliminated or severely restricted from a person’s diet. Thanks to decades of research and trial-and-error by individuals and industry, you can find anything from cookies and cakes to ice cream and cheesecakes to enjoy while on a low carb diet. One method is to use soya flour or a protein mixture and soya cream instead of refined flour and milk-cream.
SUGAR
Sucralose is a natural derivative of sugar and in terms of sweet taste, it can be substituted for common sugar without problem or need for converting quantities and measurements. When thinking about low carb desserts, we really have to be aware of refined flours and sugar. These days, there are low-carb sugar replacements that can be used for baking purposes to create tasty desserts that are low in carbohydrates.
EGGS
Eggs and especially egg whites can be used to prepare great low carb desserts! Whip egg whites until they are stiff and then fold in your favorite sweetener and a little low carb chocolate or fruit as a base for your favorite recipe, or make an egg-white omelet with a low carb syrup or chocolate sauce for a taste treat. And, of course, eggs are the basis for many tasty desserts that can be easily converted to carbo friendly by using the appropriate exchanges.
CHOCOLATE
Even chocolate has its place on carb-intake limiting diets and thus makes a good part of Atkins diet desserts or South Beach diet desserts as long as it is semisweet and used in moderate amounts. Chocolate chips can be melted with butter to produce a sauce good for use on sugar-free ice cream. Chocolate is supposed to be good for you – if you can avoid the high sugar found in most chocolate. And today, there are many sugarless chocolate bars on the market.
IN THE STORE
These days, many common foods have a lower carbohydrate version, often times made by the same manufacturer as the orginal item. This makes it easier than ever to maintain the low carb lifestyle – and, of course – plenty of low carb desserts!
