Trying low carb for a bit and would like some dessert ideas... I still like the idea of having a bit of a "decadent" snack before bed! :tongue:

    I sometimes have a sugar free strawberry jello cup with a bit of fat free or low fat whip cream. Not bad and very low carb/calorie.

    Try low carb yoghurt with some berries in it. Also some of the Atkins Endulge Bars tase really good. Recently tried the Peanutbutter cups. Only 80 cal. per cup and worth every calorie!! Good Luck.

    We use whipping cream (35- 40%) and whip our own whipped cream. Some people add a little sweetener or vanilla to it, but I find that I can have it "straight". It goes with lots of things: a few berries, cocoa powder, dark (I use 90%) chocolate, a bit of nut butter, or top a hot drink. Whipped cream always feels decadent to me! :)

    I have been wanting to try this as well...I noticed it on a blog I follow and saw they do both white and dark chocolate chips.

    I personally freeze my greek yogurt and eat it like ice cream or snack on a little dark chocolate. Good Luck

    I know this sounds crazy but I found this chocolate tea (Numi Organic Tea Chocolate Pu-erh). It is zero everything, because it is tea. The ingredient list is as follows: Tea Puerh (Organic), Cocoa Powder ( Organic ), Vanilla ( Organic ), Chocolate Cocoa Nibs ( Organic ), Rooibos (Organic), Orange(s) Peel ( Organic ), Nutmeg ( Organic ) and Cinnamon ( Organic ).

    I have a sweet tooth like no one I have met, and this has satisfied my cravings at night. Plus, a cup of hot water fills you up! I add one packet of splenda and feel like I am ending the night with hot chocolate. The best part is that not only is it satisfying my cravings, but it is rich in antioxidants and digestive herbs. Win-Win.

    Order online to save $$.

    1 tablespoons of the stuff over a cup of blackberries:
