Diabetic Dessert Recipe Ideas for Tomorrow's Show?

[lilscrapmama]

Hello, my host for TOMORROWS show, now wants to have something her mom to try out, & she's diabetic.
I was thinking of just making the AWESOME WW Cake that I LOVE that consists of ONLY a can of diet whatever (I like it w/ cherry coke, or dr. pepper berries n cream) and then cake mix only...
Do you think this would work in the bunt microwave way?
I really wanted to do the german cake in the micro tomorrow...but want looks like i need to change that recipe to be more diabetic friendly.
Does anyone have any other recieps or willl the WW one work in micro?

Seriously...??? NO one has not even 1 idea for a diabetic recipe???
well I guess I will just make the WW cake in the 9x13 pan & not do the fluted pan... I dont know how well just a diet dr pepper & cake mix will do in that pan?

You can do this in the microwave I think for 12-14 minutes depending on the microwave.

I don't have any ideas for you; I posted this once before and didn't get any response either. It ended up that the diabetic guest just didn't eat the dessert. I think the problem w/ the WW cake (which I love by the way) is that it isn't really diabetic friendly, it's more fat/cholesterol friendly. If you make it the way the recipe calls for, you're not really adding sugar anyway - just oil, eggs and water.

The cake mix itself has a lot of sugar - in the yellow cake mix box I just looked at it's 21 g sugar per serving. I think that's the problem.

Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you, though...

Have you done a search for diabetic recipes on here? I think there is a posting that I have seen before not too long ago.

Cinnamon Swirl Coffee CakeOK, I checked out splenda.com, and this looks like a do-able and yummy recipe. It would have to bake for 50-60 minutes, so I'd start it ahead of time and just talk about how it was made.

It got good reviews (well, 2!), but I personally haven't tried it (I might for breakfast tomorrow - it sounds good!). Also, I tried to Pampered Chef-ise it for you (that is, sub the tools they use with our tools, but you could definitely use other tools that aren't mentioned - measuring spoons/scoop, Measure-All, Easy Read Measuring Cups).
Hope this helps!

I am a new to PC and closing my first book party Monday. Anyways, I have a friend who can not eat gluten either and I just found this recipe which is also good for those with diabetes. I haven't tried it yet, but she works with me on Monday so thinking I may try it tomorrow night. Found it on DLife.com for diabetics. I am sure you can adjust directions for PC tools easily enough Good Luck!
