Craving something sweet
I've developed SUCH a sweet tooth after surgery that I never had before! Here are my favorite "treats":
Unjury chocolate pudding pops (the molds I use make 10 per batch at 52 calories a pop)
SF/FF pudding
Light & Fit Greek Strawberry Cheesecake Greek yogurt
PB2 mixed with Cool Whip for a faux peanut butter pie
I love Atkins Cream Cheese Clouds....I freeze them where I can have them handy....tastes like cheese cake:
CREAM CHEESE CLOUDS
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2-3/4 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda *
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or other flavoring
Beat everything with an electric mixer until fluffy. Drop by bite-size spoonfuls onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour. Store in the freezer and eat frozen.
Makes 24 clouds
* I didn't think they were quite sweet enough with 1/2 cup so I used liquid Splenda to equal 3/4 cup granular. The counts are based on 3/4 cup Splenda.
NOTE: You can store these in the refrigerator and they will hold their shape quite well as long as they are good and cold.
