Admittedly I do like to have a prober dinner - and 2 courses, too!! Finding desserts agreeable with a carb managed diet has not been so easy, but I have come up with something which is really lovely and you can easily use for non-diabetic too - they wouldn't know any better!!

I take 2 quarter pears (tinned in own juice, NOT syrup), add a good spoonful of Greek yogurt and 1-2 spoonfuls of double cream. Add a few fresh raspberries (or any berries you like) and sprinkle with almond flakes.

Well arranged it looks great and it taste even better!!

PS. I do make sure that portion control is in place, if you have guests you can make their portion larger if you like, but I like to ensure that my portion is max 100g in total and usually somewhat less.
 
Here's another one I guarantee you will enjoy.
2 tablespoons of fromage frais per person in individual dishes
Pour a tablespoon or so of sugar-free maple syrup (also known as imitation maple syrup) over each dish.
Serve
 
Fromage frais, double cream whipped, berries and grated 85% chocoate( and toasted flaked almonds) :P
 
tub of mascapone cheese (which serves 2-3 depending on your portion size). Mascapone is slightly sweet but low in carbs, once you have this basic ingredient the world is the mollusc of your choice...

mix in 1-2 teaspoons (dissolved in a little water) good quality instant coffee and a little sweetener. chill before serving

mix in a couple of squares of melted high quality 70% plus chocolate

both the above can also benefit from a couple of drops of vanilla or other essence

the zest of a lemon and line, some lemon essence and 1/2 a squeezed lemon or lime, sweetener to taste

pulp some berries and mix, sweetener to taste

Deliciously rich and indulgent and very sophisticated :D It hits that cheesecake spot and is very flexible.

Next time I buy mascapone I plan to experiement with some fresh ginger and chocolate, this has always been one of my favorite combinations.
