We are looking forward to celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday this weekend! And we always want our meals to match the theme. Whether you are hosting the party or attending one, we want you to have the perfect dessert to enjoy at your cookout, potluck or picnic. No matter what your gathering looks like, we have the perfect low-carb red, white and blue treat for you!
Every dessert we are going to share today is going to play on the same theme: fruit and cream. This wonderful fruit pizza features raspberries, blueberries and a cream cheese frosting. Every crowd loves a cookie cake, and we’re sure yours will too! A serving has 95 calories, four grams of carbs, 1.9 grams of fiber and 8.3 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We have another fruit pizza that might be better if you are somewhere that is sweltering hot. It is a no-bake recipe, so you don’t have to turn your oven on. It also has a dairy-free creamy layer made from canned coconut milk and coconut butter. If you are somewhere that is boiling, having dairy out on a buffet table outside can be a recipe for disaster, so this might be perfect for your gathering. A serving has 201 calories, eight grams of carbs, 3.6 grams of fiber and 18 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
This is another recipe without dairy, so it’s good for a hot day. As it’s written, it calls for gelatin, so it isn’t suitable for vegetarians. But you can swap the gelatin for chia seeds, and the recipe gives the correct amount for either. The chia seed version will have more fiber, but the gelatin version may appeal to more people, depending on your audience. Either will be delicious, and both will look perfect on the fourth of July! A serving has 244 calories, 11.7 grams of carbs, 2.8 grams of fiber, and 22 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We love that this recipe is so cute. But we also think the time it says it takes is misleading. First, you have to bake a low-carb angel food cake. Of course, you can buy one. But we have only seen sugar-free angel food cakes in the store a few times. The recipe has a link to a low-carb angel food cake recipe, and that’s what the nutritional facts for this recipe are based on. This platter is such a cute idea. It’s simple, but it elevates the fruit platter for the holiday and makes sure everyone can enjoy it! A serving has 59 calories, 14 grams of carbs, three grams of fiber and no fat. Get the recipe.
We hope everyone enjoys celebrating this weekend!
