    Low Carb Chocolate Delight Dessert being spooned out of dish

    As a pre-diabetic who has a sweet tooth, I am always on a quest to manage my blood sugar.

    To still enjoy the recipes I used to eat before my diagnosis, I need to be creative and transform recipes to cut down on the carbs.

    The most challenging dishes to transform are usually desserts. Most recipes are packed with sugar or flour. These days there are many keto desserts available, but most don’t taste like the real thing. And in my mind, if I can’t have the real thing, then what’s the point?

    So you can imagine my delight when a few years back I tried to transform this popular dessert into a low carb alternative with great success!!

    Not only does it taste amazing, it also much lower in carbs.

    I had gestational diabetes during my pregnancy and this dessert satisfied my cravings without a spike in blood sugar and also without the guilt.

    What’s even better? It’s done in under 30 minutes and ready to eat.

    Tips to Make Your Low Carb Chocolate Delight a Success

    This recipe uses almond meal for the crust and may crumble when you try to spread the cream cheese layer on. I’ve had success in avoiding this, by spoon dropping the mixture on the crust and then gently smoothing it from the top. Avoid pulling up while you are smoothing this layer down. But if you get a few crumbles, don’t worry, no one will know!

    The second tip put the baking dish in the fridge to let the first 2 layers cool and firm up a little before adding the pudding.

    Low Carb Details

    I made this dessert to account for my personal limit on carbs during pregnancy which was 30 gr per snack. Every one’s body is different, so if you are under a diabetes management diet, you can adjust the number of servings in this recipe to fit your needs.

    I chose to use powdered sugar, because I was pregnant and my doctor told me there were no studies on the safety of artificial sweeteners on pregnancy.

    But on the recipe, I used erythritol because that might not be a concern for you. You can use any other low carb sweetener of your preference instead.

    Lastly, when eating low carb, look at the labels closely, a sugar-free cool whip has more carbs than the original version.

    Enjoy this delish Low Carb Chocolate Delight !
