1 pint fresh blueberries, washed and dried
1 pint fresh blackberries, washed and dried
1 pint fresh raspberries, washed and dried
3 tablespoons sugar
1 vanilla bean, seeds halved and seeds removed

8 oz whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar

Heat your oven to 450 F. Place the berries on a sheet pan and sprinkle with the sugar and vanilla bean seeds. Toss to combine. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

For the whipped cream, put the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. When the cream starts to thicken, add the sugar and the vanilla. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Serve with the berries.

I would consider 24 grams of carbs, high for one item, but subsistuting something like Splenda would lower that greatly.

You might want to consider egg custards. It's basically heavy cream cooked with egg, using Splenda to sweeten to make a pudding like dessert. You can add chocolate or fruit for a very yummy dessert. A little goes a very long way.

Status: offline 		Good quality frozen berries work just fine, plus you don't have to toss them out if you don't use them before they go bad.

I use truvia instead of sugar. There is a special kind of truvia just for baking that works well.

Yeah, vanilla beans are pricey, I use real vanilla extract.

Instead of heavy whipping cream, use yogurt. High fat dairy products are not good for you.

It was taste different, but it's so much better for you.

Look for lowfat Greek yogurt (it has far more protein). I buy the plain, but if you will only use it for desserts, get the vanilla.

You're not going to be able to whip the yogurt, just blend it in.

Status: offline 		kinda like a parfait. If you like granola, you could sprinkle some on top. Not sure if that's ok for diabetics. I love making parfaits for breakfast with berries, skir (Icelandic yogurt. Thicker than most yogurts) and a handful of granola. If you do buy granola, find some in health food stores that doesn't have all the sugar and crap in it. Just go as natural as possible.

Just try the fruit alone, no need for the other stuff. Even the fruit itself is dangerous for a diabetic.

Splenda is formulated for cooking. I am not sure about stevia. It sounds like you get enough sugars from the fruit itself so no sweetners may be needed.

Status: offline 		The berries have plenty of sugar, but they can be somewhat sour as well and if you are substituting yogurt (and you should) I think someone not used to eating this way will need a sugar substitute as well.

That with the berries and the yogurt will fool your body into thinking it's getting a rich, sweet, creamy dessert.

Its not supposed to be too hard to make yer own yogurt.. I want to buy a yogurt maker on ebay and try making my own soygurt with soy milk (cuz I dont do dairy).. I know there are instructions online on how to do that with a slow cooker instead too, for those inclined.. If you want thick "greek" type yogurt then you just use layered cheesecloth to drain it overnight or for a few hours.. I also want to try adding fruit.. although I suppose you could cheat and add a bit of fruit-only-jam.. ohhhhh,.. and try making my own frozen soygurt pops or soy ice "cream".. mmmmm..

I'm sure a net search will find you some.

yes, if you are into dairy.. its harder to find pure unsugared soygurt tho.. I will have to scour Whole Foods to see what they have at their stores here.. but yes, the cultures can be bought online or at a good health food store.. Once you have it, you just use a bit of yogurt/soygurt from your last batch.. unless you have eaten it all..

Gawd.. I have been soygurtless for way too long now!..

Status: offline 		You know, that's what I've heard. I've also heard that using commercially prepared yogurt as your starter will not result in 'good' yogurt -- that is very active yogurt.

Do you make your own?

What is the procedure?

Sorry TFTB -- thread drift.
