I know the pain of having a sweet tooth while trying to stick to your health goals and avoid sugar. But here’s the good news: when life takes something away, it always gives you something sweeter. And in the dessert department, it’s our Sugar Swaps!
Refined sugar is a highly processed ingredient that’s best left out of a healthy diet, especially if you are dealing with diabetes, insulin resistance, or an inflammatory condition. Going sugar-free is the best way to optimize your health and achieve a normal body weight (did I mention I’ve been a physician since 2009?).
“But Dr. Alexis, what about my boundless love for sweets, must I always suppress it?”
Not at all! Cutting sugar from the diet doesn’t mean cutting out all of life’s sweetness. That’s why I created Detox Desserts 'Sweet Swaps' and this sugar free non dairy desserts list so you can indulge guilt-free without missing out on all the sweetness!

How ‘Detox Desserts’ Create the Best Sugar-Free Dairy-Free Desserts
Detox Desserts is about enjoying life’s fun foods without any guilt. To make it possible for almost anyone with a dietary restriction or health condition, I’ve created healthy alternatives, or ‘Sweet Swaps,’ to easily remove common allergens and unhealthy ingredients like sugar. Let’s see how these Swaps work their magic to create the best gluten dairy and sugar free desserts.
Detox Dessert Sugar Swaps
Our Powdered and Granular Sugar Swaps taste, bake, and measure just like sugar. These zero-calorie alternatives make a 1:1 replacement for sugar in cakes, breads, frostings, glazes, and more without spiking your blood sugar. If a recipe requires one cup of refined sugar, you can confidently use one cup of our Sugar Swap for a healthier, low-calorie, low-carb, and sugar-free treat.
Detox Dessert Butter Swap
The Detox Butter Swap bakes and tastes like regular butter, minus the dairy and saturated fats. It’s a 1:1 butter replacement for baking and contains zero cholesterol, no seed oils, double the fiber, and six times more protein than traditional butter. The best news is, it’s completely dairy-free and vegan-friendly! How awesome is that?
For the best baking results and the tastiest sugar free non dairy desserts, use all four Swaps together as a complete system.

How can I go sugar and dairy free?

Are sugar-free desserts better for you?
Going sugar-free is one of the best choices you can make for your overall health and well-being. Refined white sugar can spike your insulin and blood sugar levels, leading to inflammatory and destructive effects at the cellular level.
Our Detox low-sugar dessert recipes are crafted with Sugar and Flour Swaps that help maintain stable blood glucose levels throughout the day. Plus, these desserts are dairy-free, gluten-free, and low-carb, making them safe for people dealing with multiple dietary restrictions and health concerns.
Do sugar-free desserts have carbs?
Yes, our desserts do have carbs, but in very low amounts. Most of the sugar free dairy free desserts recipes in this blog contain less than 10g of net carbs per serving. Some even have as low as 3g per serving, making them a guilt-free indulgence for diabetics, as well as keto and paleo followers.
Can diabetics eat sugar-free desserts?
Detox Desserts always creates gluten dairy and sugar free desserts for everyone to enjoy. None of the recipes contain even a trace of refined, white sugar or flour that can spike blood sugar levels, so diabetics can enjoy them without any guilt.
However, if you’re a diabetic, it’s important to bake using our Grain-Free Flour Swap to create the lowest carb desserts. Always monitor your blood sugar and follow up with your physician to confirm your diet is meeting your wellness goals.
