I store the sugar free pudding mixes in small containers and put a spoonfull in my cottage cheese. I first heard about it from a lady who put it in her Plain Greek Yogurt but I prefer cottage cheese since it has more protein. It's really good and you can switch up the flavors based on your mood. I currently have lemon, which is actually really good...like a lemon cream dessert, And cream cheese.0

I got a wonderful dessert recipe from someone up here a while ago. It was chocolate graham crackers with sugar free cool whip in the middle like an ice cream sandwich. Just put it in the freezer for a few and it is just like you are eating a crunchy ice cream sandwich
thanks! I like this one. anything that I can trick myself with is fantastic! I also like the sugar free pudding by jello- the caramel's great! I've never had any successful baking experiences with sugar substitutes.... the texture's always weird without the sugar.0 -

Thanks to all for the great suggestions.0

Bump! Anyone have any good cookie recipes with no sugar or sugar alternative?0

I'm not very impressed by jello sugar free pudding. They are much better with extras added to them. The chocolate is greatly improved by adding a spoon full of cocoa before the milk. The vanilla or white chocolate is much better with banana or berries.0

Otherwise, a recipe with a natural sugar substitue would be just fine too.
Cookies prefered, but would take any dessert. Thanks everyone!!!

Google "low carb mug cakes" there are tons of them you mix and microwave straight away that are very good.0

I see a few people posted above with some nutritional information of deserts. Please notice food that are advertised low in sugar/fat/carbs etc are usually then supplemented with something else. In those examples above the sodium levels are very high for the size of meal! This will increase dopamine produced in your brain (the pleasure centre) and create addiction to these tastes.
Stick to healthy whole foods like fruit and nuts!0 -

i eat salt less ( so no adding salt to my food) But if you have no medical problems there is nothing what keep you from using them.
And for everything the rule is moderation and portion control is the key!
There are no bad and good foods...only TOO MUCH foods harm you.
The whole discussion about stick to healthy foods is so 90's...lol
Just balance ....that is important!

sugar free pudding mixed 50/50 with whipped cream (make your own and don't add sugar). Its not low cal...but its FABULOUS. Or you can mix it 50/50 with cool whip for a lower cal version, but I don't like it as much.0

Sugar free cool whip
1 pack of fiber 1 pudding mix
3 table spoons pb2
2 table spoons skim milk
Mix all together and it take like a peanut butter moose. It does not take much to get your fix so each serving has about 80 cal and it's high in protein and fiber as well.0
