SCD Desserts

SCD Recipe: Caramel Apple Nests

I always used to enjoy making caramel apples for Halloween with my mom. Of course in those days we just bought a big bag a caramels, melted them down and covered the apples with them. But since those caramels are not allowed on SCD we need to make our own […]

SCD Recipe: Caramel Apple Crisp

I have been experimenting with baking without adding a sweetener like honey. This recipe uses dates as the only sweetener. Using honey more sparingly decreases sugar cravings, reduces calories, and it saves money. When I first started SCD I found myself buying honey all the time. I also started getting […]

SCD Recipe: Apple Almond Butter Cups

These little treats don’t contain in sugar. They are perfect if you are doing a detox like the 21 Day Sugar Detox program from Diane Sanfilippo. My jumping off point for this recipe was 21DSD Green Apple and Coconut 2-Bite Treats from PaleOMG. That recipe is completely fine for SCD also […]

SCD Recipe: Strawberries and Cream Gelatin

When I was growing up my great-aunt used to also make a strawberry and cream cheese dessert for me on special occasions. I never got the recipe from her, but I figured I could kind of recreate it using strained SCD yogurt. This turned out very good. Her dessert had […]

SCD Recipe: Coconut Milk Vanilla Custard

I’m very excited about this custard. I’ve tried making custard several times since starting SCD – using dry curd cottage cheese, home made yogurt or a combination of both and it’s never turned out all that good. This time – using coconut milk – it turned out just like regular […]
