Dessert ideas please

My Dad and his girlfriend are coming for dinner on Friday.  I'm going to make one of Eggface's casserole's with a minor adjustment for my Dad ~ just adding chicken.  I now need a dessert and I would like one I can enjoy as well.  My Dad is very upset at how "thin" I have become and is worried so I need to be able to eat in front of him because he doesn't believe I do.  So...anyone have a dessert suggestion.  Something easy please.

Here's one I made up from a picture of a Marie Caldendars pie.

 

I use (2) Reduced Fat  Pie Crust that comes in the tin
1  Large box Surgar Free Chocolate Instant pudding (Chocolate)
1 Large box  Surgar Free  Instant pudding (Vanilla)
5 to 6 Bananas
1 Light Whip Cream
Coconut and Almond Slivers

I make the chocolate pudding first with Fat Free or Skim Milk I use the pie directions on the box. Then I put half the pudding in each pie crust. I then add the bananas. (Completely cover the pudding). I then make the Vanilla pudding and add it to the top of the bananas. (I don't make it at the same time as the chocolate because it sets fast and you cannot spread it over the bananas) I put half the container of whip cream over the vanilla pudding. Then add coconut and almond slivers to the top to decorate. Let it set in refrigerater. It tastes  like a bananas split. No one knows thats it's a surgar free dessert. I alsways make one extra because someone always wants to take one home.

this m?ay sound stupid but did you use instant or cooked pudding

Opps Sorrry... I used instant pudding. I like this recipe because its fast easy and you don't have to cook.

Mix up pudding according to directions on box, add in spices, let set up, about 5 minutes. Fold in cottage cheese and rasins. Let set overnight. Raisins will plump up. So yummy!!



Frozen Yogurt Pie

Mix together and pur into pie crust, freeze. Take out to sofeten just a bit about 10 minutes before serving. If I use strawberry banana yogurt I dice up fresh strawberries and a banana to mix in. You can do any flavor combo you like.



Sugar Free Lemonade Pie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 1/2 cup skim milk
2 tubs sugar free crystal light lemonade mix (use 1 if you don't want it real sour)



Mix all ingredients and pour evenly into pie shells. Refrigerate until set.

Hi Jan,

I have a question.  I tried to make the sugar free lemonade pie today.  Do you cook the pudding first?  I didn't and just mixed all of it up together.  I didn't set up too well.  I was wondering if I messed that up?  It still tasted delicious, but I'd like it better if it became a little firmer.

Just curious!

Thanks,

Wanda

Here are 3 of them that I make all the time. The family loves them.

Cracker Surprise

2 large boxes sf chocolate pudding
1 tub sf cool whip
saltine crackers

Take a 9x13 dish and line the bottom with crackers. Mix the pudding according to directions. Put half the pudding on the layer of crackers. Top that layer of pudding with another layer of crackers and top with the rest of the pudding. Layer that with the cool whip. Cover with saran wrap and refridgerate for at least 24 hours. The crackers break down and become almost like pie crust.

Banana Pudding

2 large boxes sf banan pudding
sf vanilla wafer cookies
bananas
sf cool whip

Make the pudding according to directions. Layer half of it in the bottom of a 9x13 dish. Put sliced bananas and cookies on the the top of this layer. Put the rest of the pudding on top of the bananas and cookies. Layer the cool whip on top and then sprinkle crushed cookies on the top. Wrap with saran wrap and refridgerate until serving.

Cheesecake Fluff

2 boxes sfcheesecake pudding
2 packaes cream cheese, softened
1 can sf pie filling (I use the Comstock brand from Wal Mart)

Put the cream cheese in a bowl and beat with mixer. Mix the prepared pudding in the cream cheese and mix well. I pour these in a bowl but you can put them in individual dessert cups or in a graham cracker crust. When serving put the pie fill on the top.

I like the cheesecake pudding made this way but to just eat it I don't think it tastes like cheesecake. My own personal opinion.

Hope these help and enjoy your evening with you dad.
