DIABETIC PUMPKIN CUSTARD

Diabetic Pumpkin Custard image

This recipe is a diabetic version of my Recipe #102073. I made this last night for my DIL's father who is a diabetic. He really enjoyed it. In fact he took the uneaten custard home with him to eat later. The baking soda and non-fat dry milk are recommended by Splenda as ingredients which should be added for each cup of Splenda used in baking. The number of ramekins used depends on how much each one holds. For this recipe I used 2 (2 cup) ramekins.

6. Place cake pan in oven. Bake with for 1 hour or until egg mixture is set, when knife comes out clean in test of all ramakins. Remove from cake pan immediately a let set until cool. Place covered ramakins in refrigerator until ready to serve. Cover with plastic wrap to keep from forming crust.

Tips:

Choose the right sweetener: Artificial sweeteners like sucralose or stevia are good options for diabetics, as they have minimal impact on blood sugar levels. You can also use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in moderation.
Use low-fat milk or cream: This will help reduce the overall fat and calorie content of the custard.
Add fiber: Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which is beneficial for diabetics. You can add fiber by using oat flour, almond flour, or chia seeds in your custard.
Control the portion size: Even though diabetic custard is a healthier option, it's important to control the portion size to avoid consuming too many calories and sugar.

Conclusion:

Diabetic custard can be a delicious and nutritious dessert option for people with diabetes. By following these tips, you can make a custard that is low in sugar, fat, and calories, and high in fiber. With careful portion control, diabetic custard can be enjoyed as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
