Does anyone have GOOD dessert recipes for diabetics?
My boyfriend is diabetic and addicted to sweet stuff. I have only found a couple of good recipes for desserts so far and they are mainly things I've made up myself. Anything that he can take on the go or snack on would be great because we are both very busy, plus my two year old gets these treats too. Thank you!

My father-in-law is a diabetic and I make him sugar-free banana pudding. He loves it. You use the Jello sugar-free vanilla pudding and sugar-free vanilla wafers. Mix a little sour cream and vanilla extract in the pudding and it will take out some of the aftertaste from the artificial sweetener. Use bananas and your done.
Note: You can top it off with sugar-free Cool Whip if you like.

I made an orange pie this year for Christmas, and it was a big hit!
Materials required:
Pie crust (the only bit of sugar in this, use an Oreo one for a chocolate flavor)
sugar free orange Jello
Mandarin oranges
Cool Whip Lite
All you have to do is mix everything up in a bowl, pour it in the pie crust and let it freeze.
My dad, (who is also diabetic), loves this.
