Here's a low-carb dessert option: vanilla ice-cream (the full fat kind, not anything low fat, etc), fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries and a generous sprinkling of crushed almonds. Strictly speaking, ice-cream is not allowed because it has sugar, but I've had some a couple of times per week and have still lost weight. Everybody is different and you just need to see if ice-cream is a good option for you or not. If it stops you losing weight (or makes you gain), then don't have any. Or, you could make it yourself! Cream is allowed, so you just need to replace the sugar with a substitute and you're good to go. I have an ice-cream maker and I'll try to figure out how to make low-carb ice-cream and I'll be sharing the recipe here once I figure it out.
By the way, berries are the best fruit to have on a low-carb diet. I think it's because their are slightly sour so that means they have a low GI. And all nuts (including almonds) are very low in carbs so excellent snack or dessert food on a low-carb diet. However, they still do have carbs, so if you are not losing weight, try cutting them out as well. As I wrote earlier, everyone is different and can support different amounts of carbs.
