After developing and testing hundreds of sugar-free desserts, including candy, I found the best sugar-free sweetener alternative is allulose. It dissolves as white sugar does, and unlike monk fruit or erythritol, doesn't leave desserts grainy, bitter, or with a cooling aftertaste.

The Berliner donut, a round, jam-filled doughnut, is made from lightly sweet yeast dough and is typically finished with powdered sugar or icing. Traditional fillings include jam or citrusy marmalade, while modern versions may use cream or chocolate.

Clover Sonoma is getting back into the sweet treat game, announcing that its ice cream line has once again hit shelves at stores across California as of April 8.

Hall's oats felt like a parfait with a lovely mix of textures. The presentation was nice, too. Drummond's overnight oats were good, but Fuller's impressed me the most and looked amazing.

Whole Foods' vegan vanilla cupcakes are praised for their fluffy and moist texture, making them a top choice for those seeking plant-based options. Customers enjoy the well-balanced frosting made with vegan cream cheese, which complements the cupcake perfectly.

Chrissy Teigen's banana bread is incredibly sweet, with dark chocolate chunks that don't quite balance the sweetness, resulting in a cake-like, chewy texture rather than the tender crumb typical of banana bread.

Icebox cakes are simple, no-bake desserts perfect for summer. They are made with a ladyfinger or cookie crust and a pudding or custard filling, and are chilled in the freezer so that the layers soften and blend into a sliceable cake.

My grandkids can't seem to get enough of s'mores-themed goodies. The chefs at America's Test Kitchen came up with these S'Mores Brownies, with a hefty graham-cracker crust at the bottom that supports the brownie layer above. And to capture that campfire component, a top layer of miniature marshmallows toast in the oven under the broiler. Two things. Be sure to use a metal baking pan and not a glass baking dish in this recipe.

Softened graham cracker layers mimic choux pastry, and vanilla pudding turns into a rich, creamy spread. Ganache crowns this beauty, turning this easy-to-make treat into something that looks far more complicated than what is actually required to put together.
