  • I can't have traditional sweets either. I can tolerate a bite or two of a traditional fatty dessert like pot de creme. It's not overpoweringly sweet and the fat satisfies me. I might experiment with sugar free sabayon and a few berries this summer. I'll see. That said, there are some things like keto ice creams that might…
