This Orange Creamsicle Dessert tastes too good to be true, but it’s really Trim Healthy Mama friendly!
Loaded with protein and low in carbs, this Summery dessert is a cinch to put together and doesn’t taste a bit like “diet” food!
You don’t need any special ingredients to make this Orange Creamsicle Dessert. The shortbread-like crust is made from 3 simple ingredients:
- butter
- sweetener (I use xylitol, but you can also use Gentle Sweet in half the amount)
- almond flour
The orange creamsicle-flavored filling is made from:
- heavy cream
- sweetener (again, I used xylitol, but Gentle Sweet can be subbed in half the amount)
- gelatin
- Greek yogurt (any fat % will do)
- orange extract
- optional: red and yellow food coloring
The wonderful thing about this dessert is that it sets into a perfect base for decorating with whipped cream and fresh fruit! Most fruit is an “E” fuel type, but you can easily garnish with kiwi, berries, lemon and lime, and still stay in S territory.
Food coloring is totally optional, but if you’d like a soft orange color like I have here to match the flavor, 2 drops of red food coloring and 5 drops of yellow will do.
This fresh, Summery dessert is has a delightful Orange Creamsicle flavor and is incredibly easy to make! Nobody will be able to guess its a low-carb, high protein THM S treat! No special ingredients. Orange Creamsicle Dessert | THM: S

This looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it. I did notice that you listed Greek yogurt in the ingredient list, but I didn’t see where you use it in the directions.
Andi – step number 3 🙂
I have Pyure sweetener. Do you know how much I would use?
You wouldn’t happen to know the carb count on this? Thanks
Could you sub Baking Blend for almond flour? How much?
Thanks
This sounds delicious! For those who may not know, Xylitol is highly dangerous to dogs – often fatal. I wish it were not so because, by far, I think it tastes the best. Since we have two dogs, I have discarded everything in the house that has Xylitol in it (even some peanut butters do so dog owners need to read labels) just to be on the safe side. Gentle Sweet is a great second choice for flavor.
I can hardly wait to try this recipe! Pinned it 🙂
Hi Jacinda. This looks so yummy! Do you think doubling the recipe and making it in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish would work out?
