Because we're worth it

As November is Diabetes Awareness Month and the 14th World Diabetes Day, I thought it would be a great idea to attention this with a couple of yummy diabetic-friendly desserts.

Coffee pudding

Desserts for diabetics don't get much better than this pudding made with coffee - a true culinary classic. It's not only good, but also very aromatic.

Ingredients
  • 4 egg yolks 
  • 8 egg whites 
  • 2 1/2 dl hot water 
  • 5 dl skimmed milk 
  • 100 g cornstarch 
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee dissolved in 120 ml hot water 
  • 2 tablespoons of a sweetener suitable for diabetics 

Preparation

To begin with, dissolve the corn starch in the skimmed milk and set aside.

Beat egg yolks, egg whites and sweeteners in a bowl until you have an even mixture. 
Slowly add milk and starch together with the coffee and water.

Fill pudding molds with the mixture and place in a water bath in the oven at 175º C. 
Make sure they are cooked completely. 

Let them then cool and take them out of the mold.

Keep the puddings in the fridge for at least two hours before serving.


Walnut cakes

These good nut cakes are perfect for dessert or for afternoon coffee. They contain some whiskey, but it's entirely optional.

Ingredients
  • 6 chopped walnuts 
  • Cinnamon after taste 
  • 2 tablespoons of whiskey (optional) 
  • 250 g light or fat-free ricotta cheese 
  • 1 packet of non-flavoured gelatine (around 7 g) 
  • 1 tablespoon of raisins (black or yellow) 
  • 2 tablespoons oatmeal 
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener suitable for diabetics 
  • 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder without added sugar 

Preparation

Pour the whiskey into a saucepan and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Mix ricotta cheese, cocoa powder, nuts, oatmeal, raisins, cinnamon and sweetener in a bowl.

Pour the hot whiskey over the mixture and sprinkle over the gelatin. Mix all ingredients well and let stand while preparing the baking mold.

Lightly moisten a square baking sheet (or a mold). Store it in the freezer for ten minutes.

Pour the mixture into the mold and leave it in the freezer for at least three hours.

Slice in desired sizes before serving.

Enjoy! ðŸ’•
