Best puddings?

I have a sweet tooth and like to end my evening meal with a pudding. Recently I have been having fresh fruit from the packs you but in supermarkets. By coincidence, I have had some very high readings this week and wonder if there is a connection. What are the safest 'puddings' we can eat? I am T2, with insulin and tabs.

I mean 'BUY' in supermarkets!
 
Do you like ice-cream? I make my own instant ice-cream in a food processor. 100g frozen fruit. 100ml double cream 1tsp trubia. Blitz frozen fruit till in small bits. Add sugar and cream. Blitz till ice-cream. Eat immediately - it doesn't freeze. Shame. :wink:
 
Chocolate pudding: Melt 100 grams of butter, then melt 100 grams of 85% chocolate in the butter. Pour in 100 ml of cream. Whip 2 eggs with sweetener equivalent to 3 tbsp of sugar and mix with the choc/butter/cream. Pour into a a dish and bake at 200C for 6-8 min. Let cool and eat with whipped cream and raspberries.

I used 70% chocolate so skipped the sweetener.

Whipped cream with berries is fine too. Raspberries are relatively low carb.

These fruit salads often contain high fructose fruits such as grapes and melon. That might explain your high readings. I stick to berries.

A quick pud is berries, cream and jelly. I buy the Simply Delish jelly from amazon as it is zero carb and zero gelatine.

Mug cake takes only a few minutes to make http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2013/05/chocolate-brownie-mug-cake-low-carb-gluten-free.html

Stewed rhubarb with cream or yogurt is also a good option.
 
I've got a killer chocolate fondant recipe, quite low in sugar and you don't need a big portion.

I'll dig it out later today, but in the meantime

Coconut flour pancakes, very low carb
2 eggs
2 tablespoons TIANA Organic Virgin Coconut Oil or butter, melted
5 tablespoons coconut milk or whole milk
1 teaspoon TIANA Organic Raw Crystallised Coconut Nectar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sifted TIANA Organic Coconut Flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Method
Blend together eggs, oil, coconut milk, nectar and salt. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and thoroughly mix into batter. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet. Spoon batter onto hot skillet making pancakes about 2 ½ to 3 inches in diameter. Batter will be thick, but will flatten out when cooking. Makes about 8 pancakes.

Coconut Custard Pie - very rich, you don't need a big portion, I make it in a silicon baking dish with no pastry case
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Preheat oven to 325 degrees ºF.
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend for about 10 seconds (or until thoroughly mixed)
Pour into a pie dish greased with coconut oil.
Bake for 55 minutes in preheated oven. Serve warm (or cold the next day for breakfast!)
 
Think it is a typo and the word is Truvia - who wants tanks in their ice cream?!*
