17 amazing desserts that don’t use sugar! These stevia sweetened desserts actually taste good, too! For diabetics, keto diets, Trim Healthy Mama’s and other low carb diet followers. These recipes are all easy, healthy and some with just 3 ingredients. We’re talking chocolate, cookies, cakes, no bake treats, gluten and dairy free goodies, ice cream, pudding and so much more!

Sweetening desserts with stevia seems like a good idea…

After all, what’s not to love about a sweetener that has no calories, no glycemic impact, and no risk of making dessert stick to your hips?

Until you take that good idea and put to practical use…

Then, you realize that stevia-sweetened desserts are just that — a good idea. In practice, not quite so easy or tasty as you’d imagined, right?

Why Is It So Difficult To Use Just Stevia?

There are a couple of things to consider when it comes to using only stevia for sweetening desserts.

First, there’s the issue of bulk.

When recipe calls for a cup of sugar, and it only takes 1/4 of a teaspoon of stevia to attain the same level of sweetness, how do you make up for that entire missing cup of mass in the recipe?

Well… you don’t.

Second, the aftertaste can be off-putting.

The most common complaint with any form (liquid extract or powdered) of stevia? The aftertaste!

It’s bitter to many people. And even if it’s not bitter in your lemonade or iced tea, it’s often bitter when paired with chocolate or after baking.

Finally, use recipes written with stevia before branching out to create your own.

As with any new kitchen adventure, it’s helpful to begin with a road map rather than setting out on your own, not knowing where you might end up.

If you’re brand-new to stevia-sweetened desserts (or if you just haven’t found a winner yet), it’s helpful to begin with already-written recipes instead of just trying to convert your favorite chocolate cake to stevia-only. (Because that’s a recipe for “I’m never sweetening anything with stevia again!”.)

Whether you’re attempting a Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle with Real Food only, trying to stabilize your blood sugar, or simply hoping to eat less sugar, this post is for YOU.

    I started switching to stevia around four years ago in my coffee and tea, yogurt, minimal baking, balance for the highly spiced/capsaicined curries I love, and now as a durable, non-fermentable sweetener in certain homemade kefirs and lacto-fermented veggies.

    To avoid the bitter aftertaste, I first began with a cane sugar-stevia blend, about 50/50. Over a couple of months I got it up to 100% stevia, and taste no bitterness at all. I’ve also successfully grown it in a pot as a returning perennial in my zone 9 region in Sonoma County, California. Now, I find most prepared foods disgustingly over sweetened.

    Isn’t it almost magical how we can intentionally retrain our tastebuds!

    I baked with stevia for the first time yesterday, cranberry walnut muffins, the orange juice in these muffins didn`t like my diabetes, spiked it way up. Trying to find b/s friendly recipes. This was written as a loaf recipe, did however turn out tasty as muffins. I couldn`t detect a bitter aftertaste.

      Difficult to find recipes that don’t mess with blood sugar. White flour will for sure. Working on trying
      Stevia and combination sweeteners.

    I keep hoping to find desserts that won’t raise blood sugar for the 100 million diabetics and pre-diabetics in the U.S, but it is very difficult. Sweet and starchy ingredients such as dates, pineapple, bananas, sweet potatoes, maple syrup and yes, erythritol (including Swerve) raise our blood glucose. Stevia does not. “Stevia Sweetened Desserts” may be suitable for Paleo, Keto and low carb diets, but not for diabetics or pre-diabetics when dates, erythritol etc. are also added. Using Stevia alone as a sweetener is a challenge because it hasn’t the bulk of those other sweeteners, and using too much can impart a bitter taste. There’s a market for 100 million consumers.

      I read your comment about everything raising your blood glucose levels except stevia. I’m not diabetic, so I dont do testing, but wonder if you are baking with regular wheat flour, or using other commonly used ingredients, such as regular 1%, or 2% cows milk, not whole milk, or low fat dairy of any kind. Same with all other things you might be eating, or baking with, like oats, or corn meal.
      Erythtitol has very little effect, to none on most peoples sugar levels. Most of the time it’s what else its being used with that is causing the rise..not the erythritol itself.

    could you give us regular old recipes for desserts using stevia instead of these fancy chef ones, like the desserts below.

    1. brownies
    2. chocolate ice cream
    3. cakes, pies, candy made with chocolate

    Thank you so much for these recipes. I intend to try the muffins.

    I have been low-carb for two years,. Recently, I began to have diarrhea with erythritol. And now with allulose. No sugar alcohols for me! 🙁

    I’ve been fine with only Whole Earth stevia/Monkfruit sweetener in the packets. I’m really happy that you have some stevia recipes I can be to have for breakfast.

    Thank you so much for all the wonderful recipes I can’t wait to try them.
    Also a quick note my mom had diabetes lupus angina high blood pressure high cholesterol and she was on a lot of various types of prescription drugs and have been through a lot of surgeries and when she came to live with me in Arizona I talked her into going Naturopathic for her healthcare, and she agreed and the naturopathic doctor and myself both worked with her and my dad and she lost 80 pounds diabetes went away lupus went away no more angina no more high blood pressure no more high cholesterol she now at the age of 82 he’s doing great and does not take one single pharmaceutical drug instead she’s been using natural medicine and food-based healthy supplements and the difference is like she’s a completely different person even her moods and her personality got better this is for anyone out there who needs it God bless all of you richly!
    Oh and also allergy testing was done so she stopped eating wheat dairy sugar & corn.
