This in not all that sweet but I love it. I take a big tub of low fat but not non fat cottage cheese and put it through my food processor. Then I drain a big can of drained mandiran oranges and a can of pineapple tidbits and add those. I fold in a small tub of cool whip also. I have heard people say they add a package of sugar free jello to the cottage cheese but I like it plain. If you wanted more color you could add some more colorful fruit like kiwi or cut up grapes.

I know someone else has asked about this before and someone else gave the address for a low carb cooking site that has LOTS of dessert recipes...I think you would find it if you looked in the library under dessert.

Nothing too special, but I love to make my family this...all you need is your favorite fruit(cut into bite size pieces) and your favorite yogurt and mix and eat, so easy and it tastes good. Also, one poster had mentioned before, use a low fat or sugar free pie crust(ready to eat) and fill with yogurt, then put it in the freezer until ready to serve, you can top with cool whip lite. Good luck!

If you are looking for chocolate recipes, here is a link for Suzanne Somers chocolate recipes, it calls for Somersweet(her sugar sub), but I'm sure you could use splenda. They are low carb and sugar-free. Good Luck-http://www.suzannesomers.com/Home/chocolaterecipes.asp

Here is one my family adores and it is easy too!!! Crustless Strawberry pie 2 boxes sugar/fat free cook and serve vailla pudding,2 boxes sugar free strawberry jello, 2 cups of water and 1 lb of strawberries (fresh) cut the berries up and place in a 10 inch pie pan (glass looks nice)Mix water and all mixes in a small pan and cook over medium heta until at a boil. Pour over berries and fridge for 3-4 hours until firm. It is wonderful with a small amount of coolwhip free on it. Cool and refreshing! (the boxes of mixes are the 4 serving size) Wendy you can try other combos too, I did lemon jello with mandarin oranges too but not as good

What do you think you might be looking for? How about a scrumptious cake with german chocolate coconut frosting with pecans? Turtle Pie? Reese's peanut butter bars? Pumpkin roll? Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting? You can check out my profile page for the link, or go to: www.freewebs.com/recipes-after-rny for sample recipes, photos and ordering information. Email me with what you might be looking for and I'll let you know if it's in the book. Most of the recipes use fructose, turbinado sugar or Splenda. (I just make some wicked awesome peanut brittle in the microwave!) Good luck!

Okay, so this is NOT low calorie-only LOW CARB :)....But, it is the easiest dessert I have! Take equal parts of cream cheese and sour cream and mix with fresh fruit of your choice (I always use berries as they are lowest in carbs), and then sweeten with Splenda or sweetner of your choice.It tastes great and doesn't get any easier. Have fun!

My family loves my berries salad. Take sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cubed kiwi, cubed banana and cool whip. Don't add the cool whip until your ready to go out the door though or it will get runny. I serve this over sliced angel food cake for the non anti-carb addict :>) and without for those really watching their carbs.

I like to take 3 packages of powederd coolwhip, 2 packages of sf hot chocolate, and 3/4 cup of skim milk. Beat in bleander until firm. if too firm, add milk by the tbsp full and blend until lighter. Then I take a jar of cherries canned in their own juice,(you can use fresh, but you'd probably have to pit them) and chop up about 1/2 cup in it and fold in. Voila! Black forrest mousse.
