For those who are watching their sugar intake but still crave delicious sweetness, sugar-free syrups can be a great option. They offer a way to enjoy your favorite flavors without the added calories and potential health risks associated with sugar. Syruvia, for instance, offers a range of sugar-free syrups that are perfect for flavoring coffee, tea, smoothies, and even desserts. Made in the USA with high-quality ingredients, Syruvia syrups are Kosher-certified, gluten-free, and contain zero calories and carbs. Sweetened with sucralose, they provide a guilt-free way to add sweetness to your treats.

Let’s look at two delicious Indian dessert recipes that showcase the versatility of Syruvia sugar-free syrups.

Recipe 1: Sugar-Free Coconut Ladoo

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Syruvia Sugar-Free Coconut Syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, or pistachios)

Instructions:

  1. In a pan, lightly roast the desiccated coconut and almond flour until fragrant.
  2. Add the Syruvia Sugar-Free Coconut Syrup and cardamom powder. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the mixture comes together.
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Add the chopped nuts and mix well.
  5. Shape the mixture into small balls or ladoos.
  6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

Recipe 2: Sugar-Free White Chocolate Mocha Shrikhand

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Syruvia Sugar-Free White Chocolate Mocha Syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
  • Chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Line a sieve with a muslin cloth and place the Greek yogurt in it.
  2. Let it drain for at least 2-3 hours to remove excess water. This will give you a thick and creamy hung yogurt (chakka).
  3. In a bowl, whisk the hung yogurt, Syruvia Sugar-Free White Chocolate Mocha Syrup, and cardamom powder until smooth.
  4. If using saffron, soak a few strands in a tablespoon of warm milk and add it to the shrikhand.
  5. Refrigerate for at least an hour to chill.
  6. Garnish with chopped pistachios and serve chilled.
