Beet fudge truffles are sweet, with a touch of tart, and guilt free. The beet ganache is sweetened with cacao, medjool dates (no sugar added) and thickened with flax. Each serving has 5 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein, and are as silky and decadent as fine, gourmet chocolate.

Chocolate Chip Cookies: Oil, sugar and gluten free
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is sweet and moist—not crumbly and bland like many gluten free recipes. Yet, there is no added sugar or oil! Each serving has 8 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein, so technically, they don’t even qualify as a “dessert.”
Fudge Brownies
These vegan and gluten free fudge brownies contain no added sugar or oil. And yet, they are rich, moist and decadent. Despite the appeal, each brownie has 8 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cups
