Without sugar: Those with a sweet tooth will still be happy with these variants

A dessert without sugar?

Unthinkable.

If you don't want to let the white grain trickle into it, you have several sweet alternatives.

It should be sweet, but without white sugar.

If you are looking for alternative sweeteners, you can use coconut blossom sugar, date or rice syrup and pomegranate molasses, for example.

However, if you want to keep your body slim and therefore avoid household sugar, there is bad news: you cannot save calories with the sugar alternatives.

Sugar alternatives: Sweet with a lot of taste

Coconut blossom sugar:

It's just as grainy and almost as sweet as granulated sugar.

Although the name would suggest it, coconut blossom sugar doesn't taste like coconut, but rather has a pleasant caramel-like note.

This is because it is made from the nectar of the coconut palm and not from the coconut.

The

: It is said to be healthier than white sugar, as it only makes the blood sugar level rise very slowly.

So far, however, there are no reliable studies that prove this effect.

Rice syrup:

has a long tradition as a sweetener in Japan and is made from ground and cooked rice.

The rice starch is broken down into sugar molecules by fermentation.

The gold-colored syrup has a malty-nutty aroma and is less sweet than table sugar.

Date syrup:

It contains the nutrients present in the date such as vitamins A and D, magnesium, potassium and folic acid in small quantities.

Its caramel-like aroma gives tea, smoothies, soups, sauces and desserts a fine note.

Date syrup has a higher sweetening power than sugar and can therefore be used sparingly.

If you want to prepare the syrup yourself, put the pitted dates in water and boil them down.

Then puree until you have a smooth mixture and season with vanilla, cinnamon and a little lemon juice.

Pomegranate molasses:

 This oriental syrup has a tart to sweet and sour taste and is often used for stews, oven vegetables and marinades.

Fish and meat can be glazed with the fruity molasses.
