Diabetic-Friendly Desserts for 10 Guests

[shelly.nurse]

I have a host who just found out today that she is diabetic. She changed her main from the deep dish cheeseburger pizza to the asian chicken salad. But I had told her that I would do a dessert for 10 guests RSVPing. I was going to do the 12 minute chocolate cake, now in the fluted stoneware pan (because of the DCB issue). What else do you think would be good?

Depending on the dietary restrictions of your guests, a lighter and healthier dessert option could be fruit kabobs with honey-yogurt dip. You could also make a variety of mini fruit tarts or even individual pies with a graham cracker crust and your favorite fruits. For a more indulgent option, you could make individual molten lava cakes with a light ice cream on the side.
