Anyone have a tried-and-true gluten free, low carb, low sugar dessert recipe?
I know, I know...the title of this thread sounds miserable. But I'd like to make a treat for someone that needs to follow these guidelines because of celiac disease + diabetes. There are a bunch of recipes online but I don't know if they'll actually turn out decent. TIA!

Re: Anyone have a tried-and-true gluten free, low carb, low sugar dessert recipe?
I can ask DH. He is doing a keto diet so pretty much it's no sugar, super low carb and no gluten since wheat flour has too many carbs.
He uses a lot of almond and coconut flour for recipes.
He made a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving that was out of this world- I wouldn't have known the difference.
I can get the pumpkin pie recipe- not sure if that is what you are looking for- not everyone likes pumpkin pie.
Or I can ask him for others that have worked- some are fails and some are really yummy

That would be awesome, thanks! Would love to hear his input + the pumpkin pie recipe if it's not too much trouble!

OK so here is the Pumpkin Pie recipe.
It calls for Pumpkin Pie or Vanilla flavored Stevia- he used regular stevia and just added some extra pumpkin pie spice.
He also substituted Brown Sugar Alternative (Sukrin Gold is the brand) for the Sukrin fiber syrup. All of these are available on Amazon and are all plant based sweeteners.
Low Carb, Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie
He also made a dessert today which I haven't taste tested yet  but that he claims is delicious too:
Coffee and Chocolate Tart

You're welcome! The pumpkin pie really fooled me. Especially with a little Redi-whip...which has hardly any sugar or carbs either by the way.

Definitely can substitute lower fat cheeses:
Low carb, Gluten-free cheesecake
16 oz. Ricotta (Galbani or Biazzo)
2 8-oz packages Philadelphia cream cheese
1 6oz. container Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla or lemon)
1 1/2 cups Splenda granulated sweetener
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
5 large eggs
Zest from 1 orange or 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine ricotta, cream cheese and yogurt in a large bowl. Beat on LOW speed until smooth. Gradually add Splenda Add eggs one at a time, again on low speed, mixing well after each addition until silky smooth. Gently stir in extracts and lemon rind.
Pour into a pie plate that has been coated with nonstick spray and sprinkled with gluten-free dry breadcrumbs or cookie crumbs and bake in a water bath for 35-40 minutes. The center will puff up and may crack but do not let it brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
Cover with foil and chill for 24 hours

Wow- I have to send this one to DH! He was just saying how he misses cheesecake since starting his keto diet.
Question- is this more the consistency of Italian cheesecake or NY style Cheesecake?
I see it has ricotta AND cream cheese so I wasn't sure how the consistency would play out.

Had to come back to this thread and post that DH made an "olive oil" cake last night that was out of this world. I would have never guessed it was made from non wheat flour and had no sugar in it.
It was so freakin' MOIST!
