Diabetic Dessert Cookbook for One or Two

Diabetic Dessert Cookbook for One or Two: 75 Single-Serve Low-Sugar Treats Made in a Mug, a Ramekin or a Jar, with Carbs Counted Two Ways on Every Recipe from Everyday Pantry Ingredients

You want something sweet after dinner. Not a whole cake. Not a tray of brownies sitting on the counter all week. Just one good dessert, with the carbs written plainly, so you know exactly where you stand.

That is what this book gives you.

Most diabetic dessert cookbooks still bake for a crowd. Twelve servings, sixteen squares, and you living alone or with one other person. Many skip the nutrition numbers. Others send you hunting for flours and powders you cannot find. This book was written to fix all three.

EVERY DESSERT MAKES ONE OR TWO SERVINGS
Make a mug cake, eat a mug cake, and your kitchen is clean in five minutes. Bake two ramekins of apple crisp, one for you and one for the person across the table. Nothing is left over to call your name at midnight.

CARBS COUNTED TWO WAYS ON EVERY RECIPE
Some people want a spoon of real sugar, honey or maple syrup. Others prefer a sugar substitute. This book does not choose for you. Every recipe shows the carbohydrate per serving made with a small, measured amount of real sweetener, and made with a 1:1 granulated sugar substitute, plus the fibre. You pick the version. The number is already on the page.

MADE IN A MUG, A RAMEKIN OR A JAR
Every recipe names its vessel at the top: a mug for the microwave, ramekins for the oven or toaster oven, and jars for no-bake and frozen treats.

Inside you will find:
— 75 familiar American desserts made small: chocolate mug cake, apple crisp, New York-style cheesecake, peach cobbler, rice pudding, banana pudding, tiramisu and many more
— A full nutrition panel on every recipe, calculated from USDA food data: carbohydrate in both versions first, then fibre, sugars, protein, fat, saturated fat, sodium and calories
— Supermarket ingredients only, eight or fewer per recipe
— Holiday Desserts for Two: pumpkin pie custards, pecan pie crumble, gingerbread mug cake, sweet potato pie cups, cranberry crisp, peppermint mocha mousse and eggnog custard
— Frozen treats without an ice cream machine, and no-bake jars for hot days
— Plain-talk chapters on fitting dessert into your plan, sweeteners explained without brand names, and baking small, including what to do with half an egg
— A carb quick-reference page, a microwave wattage guide, a conversion chart, a pantry list and a recipe index by name and by vessel

Safe from start to finish: no raw cookie dough, no raw batter and no raw eggs anywhere in the book. Every mug cake is cooked until set in the centre.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
Adults managing diabetes or prediabetes who live alone or as a couple, who want dessert back on the table, and who need the carbs counted for them.

A note on the interior: this is a clean, easy-to-read text cookbook with illustrated teaching chapters. There are no recipe photographs, which keeps the book focused and affordable.

This is a cookbook, not medical advice. Your carbohydrate targets come from your own care team.
