WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

MINI CINNAMON-COFFEE CHEESECAKES

This is a great summertime dessert to take to a pitch-in meal, party, or to serve when you have guests. Eat one and share the other eleven! Most diabetics do not have to skip dessert at special occasions. They do need to be aware of the ingredients and control their portion size. Serving this individually helps to control portion size so long as one remembers to eat only one!

12 sugar-free ginger snaps
2 tbsp instant coffee granules
1 tbsp water
1/2 cup Splenda Granulated
1 brick (8-oz) light cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup fresh raspberries

Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners and place 1 ginger snap in each liner; set aside.

Mix the coffee granules with the water until granules are completely dissolved. Add the Splenda, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; beat with a wire whisk until well blended.  Gently stir in the thawed whipped topping.

Evenly place the cream cheese mixture over the cookies on the muffin cups.  Top each with 3 or 4 of the fresh raspberries.  Cover and freeze overnight.

To serve remove from the freezer approximately 10 minutes before serving time.
