Help! Looking for a dessert recipe!

Hello Everyone!

My family will be visiting with an old friend for dinner on Saturday.  I've been asked to bring a dessert.  I'd like to bring something other than fruit, that tastes good to non-dieters but won't kill my progress.

Any suggestions?
(No coconut please.)

Oh my goodness, wait till Liz or Pam see this post... :-)

You look very familiar to me, do I look familiar to you?  Have you ever lived in Philly?

SF truffles

8 ounces cream cheese (regular, low fat, or ff, but NOT the whipped)
8 ounces SF chocolate chips

Toppings such as:

powdered sf pudding
chopped nuts
pb2 powder

Melt sf chocolate chips
Beat cream cheese till light and fluffy
Beat in melted chocolate
Let mixture sit in fridge for at least 1 hour or until firm

Roll into balls and coat in toppings.  Can also roll in more melted sf chocolate chips. 

There are definately more recipies - I'll try to get them for you when I get home but Liz will have a field day with this post.

Splenda Eclair Dessert (this is AWESOME)

8x8 square pan
1 pkg sugar free vanilla instant pudding mix
1 pkg sugar free dark chocolate instant pudding mix
1 container sugar free or lite cool whip
Lo-sugar graham crackers (they're hard to find but out there)

Mix vanilla pudding according to package directions, then fold in the cool whip. Put one layer of graham crackers on bottom of pan, then spoon 1/2 the vanilla pudding/cool whip mixture over it. Add another layer of the crackers, then the remaining vanilla pudding/cool whip mixture. Add one more layer of crackers.

Mix the chocolate pudding according to the PIE directions (makes it a bit thicker) - spoon that across the top layer of graham crackers.

Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. I have made this for work and for my friends and unless you tell them its sugar-free they'll never know the difference. And I dump from sugars big time and this recipe has never bothered me - its very light and refreshing. Hope you get to make it - enjoy!!

ALright my brain is fuzz this morning, not feeling so good - let me know if any of those sound good and I'll get out the recipes. I have just about anything you could want - let me know!!

Happy in Onderland - No, sorry, never lived outside of Southwestern PA. (Except for the 6 months I worked at Winter Park Ski Resort in CO!)  My avatar pix is pretty old - but it's the best pre-surgery picture that I could find.  Thanks for posting!

Pam - WOw!  I had no idea that you were a dessert maniac like me!  Those truffles sound absolutely mouth-watering!  I can't wait to try them!!!  Thanks...and feel free to share more ideas!

Kathy - I've never seen SF Dark Chocolate pudding!  I'll have to start searching!  Yum!  Sounds delicious!  Thanks!

Liz - You sound pretty excited about the dessert topic too!  Are all of your suggestions "good for you"?  If you're offering...I'd love to see the chocolate & yellow cake recipes along with the icing recipe.  I can add them to my new collection of healthy goodies!  Thanks for adding to the post!

Keep 'em coming everybody!
You're the best!
