8 dessert recipes for kids with diabetes

Many times we use desserts as an excuse for our son to eat food more quickly. These are usually liked more because it is something sweet and even fun that makes them more attractive both to the eye and to the stomach. There is a small problem when a child is diagnosed with diabetes . Although many desserts seem attractive to you, you will see that not all are suitable for them, but that should not be a big problem.

There are a wide variety of dessert recipes that can be eaten by children with diabetes that can be just as appealing both in taste and visually. The big problem we find ourselves with is not being able to use sugar , but there is the sweetener that can do the same without any problem.

FRUIT

It is one of the simplest desserts without the need for recipes or elaborations. Among the most recommended fruits for children with diabetes, those that have a high fiber content should be highlighted and care must be taken with those that have a high sugar level . Fiber helps the blood sugar absorption process to slow down. Examples of fruits with fiber are kiwis, apricots, peaches and apples .

Apart from these, they are also rich in fiber, in addition to vitamin C, red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries or blackberries. Another group to highlight are citrus fruits such as oranges and mandarins. Lastly, the bananas . Although it is not advisable to eat large doses of this fruit, it should be noted that it is rich in nutrients such as potassium that helps children with diabetes.

RASPBERRY CREAM

The ingredients that we need are:

– 2 tablespoons of sweetener

– 250 grams of flour

– 200 grams of raspberries

– 1 liter of milk

This is one of the easiest recipes out there and the child himself can be the one to make it completely without the need for an adult to help him other than to supervise him.

In a bowl add the sweetener, the flour, the raspberries and the liter of milk. Depending on the tastes of the child, there are two options. If you like lumps, stirring the mixture until it looks creamy will suffice. Otherwise, when the child prefers it to be a cream without whole pieces of fruit, it will be enough to pass it through the blender until it is well beaten. To finish, pour the contents into a small container, decorating it with whole raspberries on top.

CHEESECAKE

The ingredients that we need are:

– 200 grams of Maria cookies

– 3 eggs

– 250 grams of cottage cheese

– 70 grams of butter

– 30 grams of corn flour

– 150 grams of strawberries

– 125 grams of unsweetened strawberry jam

– 2 tablespoons of sweetener

– 10 grams of ground cinnamon

In a bowl, crush the cookies and stir together with the butter, an egg and the ground cinnamon. The butter can be previously melted if it is easier for us. Once this dough is made, we use it to line the mold in which we are going to make the cake . In another container we add the remaining ingredients, that is, the cottage cheese, the eggs, the cornmeal and the sweetener to beat it until it is uniform. Once we get that texture, just pour it over the cookie dough.

Next, heat the oven to 160 degrees for a maximum of 10 minutes and insert our cake for 15 to 20 minutes. Once we remove it from the oven, we will have to decorate it on top with the strawberry jam and with pieces of strawberry distributed in the way that we like the most. To finish, we put it in the fridge to cool it down and be able to eat it.

CUSTARD

– 500 cc of milk

With a little milk, dilute the vanilla powder in it. Then boil the remaining milk with the lemon rind and the cinnamon stick. When it is boiling, add the previously diluted mixture and return it to boil until it thickens. Remove the lemon peel and cinnamon sticks and pour the contents into the containers. Garnish with the Maria cookies and ground cinnamon in a way that you like the most.

Separate 150 grams of apple to garnish and the rest is placed in a container with the two types of flours, eggs, milk, yeast and sweetener to beat it. On the other hand, spread a mold with a little butter and sprinkle flour before pouring this mixture. Once the mixture is poured, garnish with apple pieces on top and heat the oven for 15 minutes at 170 degrees. Once ready, put the mold in for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a container, add the jam and water to dilute it to give the cake the final touch, after going through the grill to give it that characteristic golden touch.
