Sugar-free diabetic desserts can be baked or frozen, including cookies, cakes, pies, sundaes, popsicles, and chocolate bars. Sugar-free gelatin and pudding are also options, and fruit and milk should be consumed in moderation.
The different types of sugar free diabetic desserts can be categorized into baked goods and frozen treats. Sugar-free baked goods include cookies, cakes, and pies. Some frozen diabetic desserts include sugar-free sundaes, popsicles, and chocolate bars. There are also sugar-free gelatin and pudding products available on many grocery shelves that are suitable for diabetic-friendly desserts.
Sugar-free puddings may be available in both cups and powders to make at home. The make-at-home type of pudding can be used to create sugar-free desserts for diabetic cream pies. For example, sugar free cookies, another diabetic dessert item, can be crushed and mixed with melted butter to form a pie crust. After the cookie crust is pressed into the bottom of a pie pan, baked, and cooled, it can be filled with prepared pudding without sugar. The entire cake, which can be chocolate, vanilla, or another flavor, should be kept refrigerated until serving time.
Sugar-free cakes and pastries are often available in the freezer sections of supermarkets. The selection may include plain cakes as well as varieties of cakes glazed with sugar-free icing. With the packaged artificial sweetener designed for baking, home bakers can also make different types of sugar-free cakes for diabetics. There are also unsweetened versions of brown sugar available for bakers to use in baking diabetic cakes, cookies, and other desserts.
It is important to note that when the fruit is used in dessert recipes, such as blueberries or other types of coffee cakes, it is not completely sugar-free, although diabetics can generally still eat it. The same can be said for milk added to sugar-free diabetic desserts, as it contains lactose. Fruit contains the natural sugar glucose that can raise blood sugar, however generally only large amounts of fruit or juice or milk used in desserts will have as great an effect on the body as the refined sugars used in regular desserts. Diabetics should always check with their dietitian or other healthcare professional when choosing sugar-free desserts.
Sugar-Free Gelatin offers a light, low-calorie option for sugar-free desserts for diabetics and dieters. The prepared gelatin can be served as is or with added fruit if that is allowed. Sugar-free and dairy-free whipped topping is often a favorite addition to all sugar-free gelatin flavors, including lime, strawberry, raspberry, grape, orange, peach, and lemon.
