Let us clear the way. Black Forest cake is not exactly low in carbohydrates. There are layers of chocolate sponge, sugar -containing cherries, whipped cream and sometimes even a little alcohol. This is the old school version. Tastes like heaven, but it brings your blood sugar into a roller coaster ride when you try to eat cleaner.

So what do you do if you miss this rich chocolate cherry quality but don’t want to get your eating goals?

They are building it again – but more intelligent. In a glass.

This version with low -carbohydrates Black Forest glass skips the sugar, holds the taste and brings the cozy comfort of this German classic directly to your spoon.

Let us go into it.

What you need for Black Forest glasses (ingredients)

Here is the full list. Nothing strange, nothing that you need for a special order from space. Most of it can be found in your local business or in your kitchen.

For the chocolate cake layer (carbohydrate style)

• 1 cup of almond flour

• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/3 cup of erythritol or a carbohydrate -low sweetener you like

• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

• pinch of salt

• 2 eggs

• 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk

• 1/4 cup of melted butter (or coconut oil, if milk -free)

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

For the cherry layer

• 1 cup of brokerage cherries (fresh or frozen – but no sugar added)

• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

• 1-2 tablespoon of water

• Only a few drops of liquid stevia (optional, depending on their cherries)

For the strike cream layer

• 1 cup of heavy cream (or coconut cream for milk -free)

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• 1-2 tablespoon of powdered sweeteners

Extras (optional but yum)

• Shaved dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher)

• Sugar -free cherry slic (1 tablespoon if you want this authentic hit)

• Fresh cherries for garnish

• Mason glasses or small glass cups

Make layers (step by step)

1. Start with the cake

You don’t bake a whole cake here. You make a small, rich chocolate sponge that you can crumble. Think of muffin style.

Here is what you do:

• Heat your oven to 175 ° C.

• Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl (almond flour, cocoa, sweetener, salt, baking powder).

• Whisk the eggs, melted butter, almond milk and vanilla in another bowl.

• Combine both bowls into a smooth dough.

• Pour the mixture into a small greased baking dish or muffin form.

• Bake for about 15-20 minutes. You will know that it will be done when a toothpick comes out clean.

Let it cool down. Then crumble it with a fork. This is your “layer of cake” to go.

2. Make this cherry sauce

This part is simple, but it adds all Black Forest mood.

Here is what you do:

• Add your cherries into a small pan.

• If necessary, add a splash of water, chia seeds and a few drops of sweeteners.

• Cook to low for 10 minutes until the cherries fell off a bit and thicken it into a compote.

You can keep it chunky or crush it a little – up for you. Let it cool before layers.

3. Whip this cream

Here is what you do:

• Use a hand mixer or whisk the cream until it forms soft tips.

• Add vanilla and sweetener.

• Whip again until it is firm, but not too stiff. You want cloud vibes, not butter.

If you use coconut cream, relax the can overnight and only draw the fixed part. Whip this with the same aroma.

Meeting time: building the black forest glass

Grab your clean glasses or cups. Here you can find out how you layer it:

• Start with a crumbled chocolate cake.

• Add a layer of cherry compotation.

• Follow him with a nice dash of whipped cream.

• Repeat it until you get to the top.

• Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings, add a cherry, perhaps a splash of cherry sliking when you feel brave.

Cool it in the fridge for 30 minutes if you want to set it cold and adjusted.

Why this works (the taste hits logic with carbohydrate carbohydrate)

Most people think that eating with low -carbohydrates does not mean any treats. This is a lie. You just have to outsmart the sugar.

This dessert brings the texture with it – the fluff paint from whipped cream, the soft wealth of chocolate cakes, the juiciness of cherries. You get all hits without sparkling your insulin like a bottle rocket.

It is rich enough to feel like a dessert, but light enough that you don’t need a nap afterwards.

And the glass? Total Pinterest bait. It’s cute, it is portion -controlled and you don’t have to commit to baking a whole cake just to get a taste.

Use it that way

• You have a family meal and the gluten -free or carbohydrate -low person of someone of someone

Tips and hacks for a good Black Forest glass with low -carbohydrates Black Forest

No almond flour? Try coconut flour, but use much less (like 1/3 cup). Coconut flour is drier and absorbs liquid like a sponge.

Can’t find fresh cherries? Go with frozen. Just make sure that there is no additional sugar.

Do you want it more chocolates? Add a few sugar -free chocolate chips to the cake dough.

No glasses? Use small glasses, chicken name or even coffee cups. It’s not about the glass – it’s about the layers.

Storage and make-up

You can put the cake and cherry compotation in front of you and keep it in the fridge. The whipped cream is best fresh, but you can whip it and store it for a day or two.

The gathered glasses stay in the fridge for about 3 days. Simply cover it with a lid or a bracket packaging. You are even better after you have been sitting overnight. The flavors melt together.

Calories and carbohydrates (per glass, estimate)

• Netto carbohydrates: 5 to 7g (depends on your sweeteners and cherry amount)

• Calories: around 250–300

• Fat: high (because of cream and almond flour)

• Protein: 5–7g

So yes, it’s dessert – but it won’t throw you from your game.
