Lava cake is sort of like a hybrid between chocolate cake and chocolate pudding. And while traditional lava cakes are often packed with sugar, this recipe calls for a sweetener alternative.

This lava cake recipe also provides about 3 grams of fiber, which is roughly 11 percent of your daily recommended value — not bad for a dessert. Fiber is an essential nutrient that helps keep your blood sugar levels stable, promotes satiety and encourages digestive regularity, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

This Low-Carb Tiramisu Poke Cake is also a great source of protein, providing about 11 grams per serving. Eating a higher-protein dessert is a great way to boost satiety, which means this tiramisu is not only tasty but filling, too. Unlike carbs, protein takes longer to digest, which is why it leaves you feeling full longer, according to Harvard Health Publishing.
