Why this Strawberry Shortcake Dessert Recipe works for PCOS

Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Strawberry Shortcake Dessert Recipe works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
