I was just informed that one of the people who is attending Thanksgiving dinner at my house tomorrow is diabetic and she told my fiance "I'm always fine at dinner, but when it comes to dessert time, I always feel left out because there is nothing that I can eat."
:(

I feel awful that I didn't know and am not prepared!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE, if anyone has ANY diabetic dessert recipes....HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any personal recipes...but I found these. :)

You can do a Google search for diabetic dessert recipes and you should come up with a bunch.

If all else fails or your not sure, maybe ask her what kind of desserts she likes and then look for a recipe, or find a local bakery that does sugar free baked goods.

Do you have a Perkins near you? They have very good sugar free apple pies...

most diabetics can eat angel food cake, top it with some fresh strawberries maybe.

My sister makes this one but with different flavers and calls hers Heaven in a Cup. I found an official recipie from Krafts Food that's pretty close and sounds yummy!! Good Luck!
