Vegan Desserts

[Grogg1]

Hi I am 3 months in to type 2 and I am a lover of desserts. My mother always said that even as a child I left room for dessert as she was quite traditional and baked. I can't bring myself to bake Welsh cakes now as I wouldn't be able to stick to one hot from the bake stone.

I've tried having 1 profiterole and my blood sugar spiked. I can eat double cream and strawberries but it's not a pudding!

As my daughter is vegan a few times I've tried a vegan dessert and even a vegan iced birthday cake and my blood sugar only rises about 2 which I'm happy with. So feeling more confident and having had a low carb lunch (Wagamama chicken salad with vegetable and chicken side) we went to a vegan cafe for dessert today. I had a gluten free home made vegan chocolate bounty bar! I tested my sugar 2 hours later and 7.4 then an hour later back down to 6.5

Has anyone else found that diary free cakes/desserts cause less spike and if so do they have any good recipes.

Not tried these yet but look very good and excellent reviews search for "black bean avocado brownies" there is even a vegan recipe using flax egg. Going Wales this weekend otherwise would been making a batch.
