Most classic desserts contain carbs, often in the form of added sugar and white flour in cookies, cakes, and tarts. It can be difficult, but not impossible, to come up with creative and tasty no carb desserts. You will need to use sugar substitutes like Splenda or Stevia, and in place of flour you can use almond meal or another nut-based flour. In general, look for dairy-based desserts like cheesecake, as these will be high in protein and low in carbs.
1. No Carb Cheesecake
No Carb Cheesecake is a great choice for low carb dieters, as it consists mostly of cheese and eggs. And no crust!
Cheesecake gets baked in the oven but then must cool for two to three hours in order for it to set and hold its shape. Here are two basic no carb cheesecake recipes for you to try.

Cheese is naturally low carb; one ounce of cheese has less than half a gram of net carbs. Enjoy an ounce or two of nice cheese after dinner for a guilt-free dessert.
5. Low Carb Mousse
This mousse is similar to no carb cheesecake, but has no eggs and thus does not require baking. Because of the cheeses used in this mousse, there are about four grams of net carbs, so it is not completely carb-free.
