Question:
Need a quick and easy dessert recipe that will fool anybody

I am having lunch at a friends house on Saturday and I am in charge of bringing dessert. One friend is post-op wls, the other is a very slim friend. I am looking for something me and my post-op friend can eat without getting into trouble but also something that our slim friend will like too. I searched already in the library for desserts, recipes, etc. but couldn't come up with anything much I could use. Any ideas for something quick and easy, I do not have a lot of time to prepare something. Thanks! — Dee ,. (posted on April 10, 2003)

A girl at work made me a sugar free pudding pie for my birthday last year...she got a graham cracker pie crust, and followed the directions on the sf chocolate pudding box for *pie filling*, she topped it with sf cool whip and sliced bananas...it was delicious...smooth, not too filling, guilt free. We all ate it. Since then, I admit that I have used the little keebler *mini* pie shells and made myself and my kids *mini* pies in different flavors for treats every now and then. One combo that I really liked was 1 layer of chocolate pudding and 1 layer of banana pudding...ooohhhh!!! Have a Sparkling Day!! ~CAE~

<center>Orange dessert:</center> Ingredients: <UL> 1 box SF orange Jell-o 1 container of FF/Light Cottage Cheese 1 can crushed pinapple drained 1 tub Free/light cool whip 2 cans of Mandrine Oranges (broken up into small pieces) 1/2 to 1 Cup Chopped walnuts </UL> Directions: In a large bowl: Add the cottage cheese and mash some to smooth out the lumps. Stir in the Jell-o powder. Add the Orange segments and drained pinapple, mix well. Stir in the nuts. Fold in the cool whip until well blended. Chill in fridge over night or a few hours for best flavor. I sometimes add 2 boxes of jell-o and leave out the nuts (personal preference). If you have any vanilla or orange protein powder you could add this in to for a protein boost.

Take Angel Food cake and crumble it in chunks in the bottom of a dessert dish. Take fat free cream cheese, fat free condensed milk (eagle brand) and fat free cool whip and mix them together with an electric mixer (add vanilla protein powder too, if you want. Coat the cake chunks with the mixture, then top with a can of drained crushed pineapple. To make it pretty put more cool whip over the top and garnish with toasted slivered almonds. You can also layer this like a parfait. Chill for 3 hours and enjoy!

You can also go to: www.splenda.com They have a whole variety of foods and desserts. I've tried some of them, the white cake is good. And all no sugar or very low sugar! :-)

Fruit pizza. Buy some premade piecrust dough, cover a pizza pan or stone with it, bake according to directions. After it's cooled, brush with a thin layer of sugar free fruit glaze OR something like Polaner All-Fruit spread. Cover that with sugar free vanilla pudding. Then add a pretty arrangement of fruit (mandarin oranges, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries work especially well). You may have to dip the fruit in a bit of the glaze first to make it "stick". Chill for at least an hour before serving. Serve with sugar free Cool Whip. Beautiful and really good! I use it for company all the time and no one ever believes it's a skinny dessert. hugs, Ann rny 9/10/99 260/124

Okay, here you go. I have used this one at luncheons and birthday parties...cut up sugar free angel food cake into cubes...slice a quart of fresh strawberries. You will need 5 containers (at least) of Blue Bunny Coconut Cream Pie yogurt, from Walmart. Also, you will need whipped topping. This is all layered in a bowl...cake, then yogurt, berries, and whipped cream, then cake, yogurt, berries, and whipped cream again, and so on. Top with whipped cream and some berry slices or whole berries. The longer it has to blend the flavors, the better. But you can make it and eat immediately. Keep refrigerated. It's heaven!!! No one has yet guessed that it's sugar free.

PJ M posted a recipe that includes condensed milk. Just wanted to give you a heads up that some people dump on sugar, and sweetened condensed milk has about 25gms per can. That may not be much per piece, but just wanted to give you some "food" for thought.

I call this my "CHEESECAKE-ISH" 8oz Lite cream cheese 8oz Lite whipped topping 3/4 C splenda 1 tsp vanilla 1 ready made graham crust Cream softened cream cheese and splenda together. Add vanilla and whipped topping and mix thoroughly. Put into pie shell and chill. Top with fresh fruit and sprinkle with splenda if so desired. you can do sooo many different variations to this I sometimes add layer of pudding to the top of it and a little whipped topping just for something different. I've also crumbles the murrays s.f. chocolate sandwich cookies into the mix for a cookies and cream kinda thing.

Here's one I make for me and my hubby....so good! Sugar Free Mini Cream Puffs 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup flour 2 eggs box of SF vanilla (or any other flavor) pudding On the stovetop, boil together water and butter, add flour, stirring until it clumps together. Remove from heat, add eggs one at a time until a smooth ball forms. Spoon dough onto greased cookie sheet, bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Let cool, cut puffs in half and scoop out insides. Fill with prepared pudding, put tops back on. You can top these with a very light dust of icing sugar or some kind of SF sauce if you wish. Hugs, Kim S. Open RNY Nov.4/02 (-106)

Here's a good one for you... I like black forrest mouse. You can take 3 pkgs powderd whip cream mix, 2 packages sf hot chocolate without marshmellows, 1 cup skim milk and cherries canned in their own juice. Mix everything except the cherries together. Dice the cherries up a little, and add to the mix. Put in the freezer for a frozen treat, or put in the frigde for a few hours to chill.
