Dessert Recipes: Frequently Asked Questions
Can all traditional sugar dessert recipes be converted to stevia dessert recipes?
No, not really. Traditional meringue recipes that need sugar’s volume or those that require caramelizing may not be appropriate. But, for the most part, other recipes can be converted with a combination of “trial and error” and knowing what ingredients can replace the volume lost from the elimination of the sugar. That’s why SSD is so convenient…all the work is already done for you! ...

Why are there no dessert recipes on Cookthink?
Desserts are such an amazing and massive genre and we want to respect that. Just as we thought long and hard about our recipe map (which itself is far, far from complete), we wanted to take time to figure out how to think about and approach desserts in a way that makes sense for Cookthink. We'll have an announcement about dessert by the fall.

How can these “sensational” dessert recipes help people lose weight?
When combined with a healthy diet, using these desserts instead of those with sugar will reduce your calories, carbs, and sugar intake. In some cases, the recipes also help reduce fat content. When this is done over a consistent basis, losing weight can be the result.

Why should people use stevia as an alternative to sugar or artificial sweeteners in dessert recipes?
There are so many reasons so I’ll try to summarize. First, stevia has no calories, no carbs, no fat, no known side effects, and no aftertaste when measured properly. Secondly, it tastes great with virtually no aftertaste as long as you buy a high quality stevia product. When you use stevia instead of sugar, you greatly reduce or, in some recipes, virtually eliminate the carbs and thus your sugar intake. ...

What are some of the nutritional differences you noticed in the comparisons you make between some of your stevia dessert recipes and the traditional “sugar” recipes?
Basically, you’ll find significant reductions in carbs, sugar and calories. For instance, the recipe for Sinfully Cinnamon Cream Cheese Pie has 281 calories, 14g carbs and less than 1g sugar, while the traditional sugar recipe for this pie has 612 calories, 66g carbs and 56g sugar! Incredible isn’t it? And with no loss in flavor!

Q Are these quality dessert recipes that I can make and serve to company without having to explain that they are low-carb?
A Yes. No longer do you need to feel that the dessert you are serving will be sub-standard, simply because it is lower in carbohydrates. Most of your guests will never guess that the dessert is low-carb and sugarless. If they do, they will no doubt be complimentary of your culinary skills. Have fun with the recipes!
