Do you want to serve a dessert for Christmas, but at the same time want to avoid sugar? No problem, then we have just the right thing for you: three sugar-free Christmas desserts that you can snack on without regrets!
At Christmas time we eat a lot of sweets, from cookies to stollen and chocolates. There may also be something sugar-free for dessert with the Christmas menu. We sweeten our desserts with natural sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup or agave syrup instead of white table sugar – so we can easily snack without a guilty conscience!
