One Box, Two Low-Carb Desserts

One Box = Many Low-Carb Desserts

Craving a dessert? How about a frozen dessert? Trying to stick to your low carb lifestyle? Look no further, I have several simple recipes for you!!

Recipe #1: Low-Carb Ice Cream

Ingredients:

-Heavy Cream
-Sugar Free, Fat Free Pudding mix 

Instructions:

1. Follow the instructions on the back of the pudding box, but replace the milk with heavy cream. 

2. Freeze for full frozen effect! 

3. Voila! Easiest low-carb ice cream ever! And there's an assortment of flavors- cheesecake, vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, etc.


Carb Breakdown:

4 servings at 9.5 carbs for each serving. Perfect amount for an after dinner dessert! 

Recipe #2: Low-Carb Pudding 

Here's a second low-carb way to use a box of pudding. This one came from the genius within me ;)

Just follow the actual recipe on the back of the pudding box! You can make your pudding wholesome with whole milk or make it low fat with skim milk. 1 cup of any milk has only 12 carbs making this recipe a whopping 7.5 carbs per serving!
 
Recipe #3: The Lowest-Carb Pudding
 
Follow the box, again, but use unsweetened almond milk instead of skim or whole milk. I personally use unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk from Giant food (Great Value brand), but either will work. Or use unsweetened coconut milk! (though I can't speak to coconut milk personally) Unsweetened (and make sure it's unsweetened) vanilla flavored almond milk is only 1 carb per cup. This pudding will be extra low-carb with almond milk!! It might need a dash of sweetener, but you'll have to try it out for yourself and see.
 
Any of these recipes are awesome for a dessert, snack, or even addition to any meal! And, as you see, one box of pudding can be altered to all carb counters!
