Fruit cream with nuts (1 piece)

Use a smaller portion of fruit cream and eat it slowly rather than having a large serving at once.

Choose lower-sugar fruits such as berries, apple, pear, kiwi, or orange; use whole fruit rather than blended or juiced fruit.

Replace sweetened cream with plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened whipped cream, and avoid adding sugar, syrup, honey, or sweetened toppings.

Keep the nuts in the serving—such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios, or pecans—and avoid candied nuts.

Have the fruit-and-cream dessert after a balanced meal that includes protein and non-starchy vegetables, rather than on an empty stomach.

If you monitor glucose, test the same portion and ingredients on different days to identify your personal tolerance and adjust the serving size accordingly.
