Looking for a low carb-ish dessert

[Dace]

Hubby's bday is this weekend and I need a dessert to bring to the family BBQ.

I'd love some lower carb ideas, preferably gluten free. I am thinking a cheesecake with maybe an almond or macadamia nut/coconut crust might be interesting. Any ideas on how to make that less carby?

Any other suggestions are welcome too!

Low carb cheese cake is a good one. make it all the time. I use almond meal and butter to make the crust.

My mom makes a fabulous nut an gluten-free bread crumb cheesecake crust. But she won't share the recipe. It is to die for!

I know the "bread" crumbs are from all her gluten-free baking experiments that don't turn out right. She breaks them into crumbs and freezes them for use in her cheesecake crust.

It is so yummy and nutty... pure heaven.

How about using a nut flour... bind it with egg? and some butter? Mmmm.... yummy experiments.

But if pumpkin doesn't sound good to you, just use the crust recipe and do this...

I need to make DD7 a yellow cup cake with choc frosting and sprinkles to match treats being brought in to the classroom on Tues. I am grateful that the mom gave me advance notice so that DD's treat can at least look like everyone else's though.
