Have a sweet tooth but don't want to overdo it on sugar? Looking for a new favorite low-sugar dessert? This list of the best low-carb desserts will do the trick!
I've
been surrounded by cake. Yup. My fiancé's birthday was last week, and we
had two parties for him—a celebration with friends during a weekend getaway and then a larger celebration at our home with friends and family. And I may have overestimated how many guests were
attending...we've been giving away leftover cake to every friend we've recently seen!
While I love a good slice of cake (especially the drizzle icing!), I also have a such a sweet tooth that I'd much rather have lower-carb sweet treats so my
cravings don't go into overdrive. And of course, I'm always wanting to avoid that post-dessert sugar slump. You may also have a medical condition, such as type 2 diabetes, or be following a
specific diet that lends itself to low-carb desserts. For your next birthday blowout, dinner party, or just-because treat, add a few of these lower-sugar desserts to the treat table. Looking for
