My favourite is homemade chocolate sauce and pecans but I also like to add fresh berries and trail mix. This ice cream is such a great base for whatever you are craving.

Let’s talk about sugar alternatives

Not only are these no-bake dessert recipes, but they are also low in white sugar. It’s only when you really start paying attention to food packages that you realize just how often sugar makes the top two ingredients. These recipes show you how simple it can be to still make amazing desserts using natural, unfeigned sugar alternatives. We have to be able to enjoy the sweet things in life without feeling inflamed and crummy.

Coconut sugar

Coconut sugar (pictured below) is not made from coconuts but from the sap of the blossoms of the coconut palm tree. The sap is collected and then boiled to evaporate the water content, leaving a sugar that looks a little like raw or light brown sugar. Coconut sugar also contains iron, zinc, and calcium, which can have many health benefits, including stronger bones.

Maple syrup

Maple syrup is made from the concentrated sap of the maple tree, whereas maple-flavoured syrups are usually just pressed glucose syrup with added flavour. Real maple syrup is much more flavourful and contains significant amounts of nutrients and antioxidants.

Honey

Honey is one of the most natural sweeteners you can use and since honey bees make honey using the nectar from flowers the local flora makes an impact on the flavour of the honey. The carbs in honey are prebiotics, which serves as fuel for the “good” bacteria in your gut.
