Sweet Tooth !!! What's for dessert !!!

Comment by Michelly on May 29, 2008 at 4:02pm

I just made this Trifle for a co-worker who did not want birthday cake to celebrate her birthday. It is simple, doesn't require cooking and has endless possibilities!

Trifle

2 boxes sugar free fat free pudding mix, any flavor
2 cups milk
1 large container Cool Whip Free
fruit cut into bite size chunks (if using frozen or canned fruit, drain well)
1 store-bought angel food cake

Tear angel food cake into bites size chunks, set aside. Cut fruit and mix (add some splenda if fruit is not sweet .) Mix pudding with 2 cups milk (this shorts the milk by half, if prepared by directions on box) and whisk for 1 minute. Fold about half of the Cool Whip into the pudding. Layer in a large, clear bowl the angel food cake, fruit, then pudding mixture until bowl is almost full. End with a layer of Cool Whip. Garnish with fruit, if desired. The NI will depend on the store bought angel food cake and the fruit used, but it is relatively low in calories and fat. I made it with white chocolate pudding, strawberries and blueberries this time and everyone practically licked the bowl and couldn't believe it was low fat. This is the perfect spring/summer dessert.

I love the Spice cake mix and one small can of pumpkin. I always add a little bit of chocolate chips. You can make it into muffins, cookies, or brownies. Way yummy. Not sure what the points add up to be, but they are a lot less than regular cake.

I LOVE desserts. This is a great idea for a group. I'll try to think of a really good recipe I can add.

In the meantime, you all probably already know about the magic cake mix and can of diet soda recipe.

You take one box of cake mix and one can of soda. Mix them together, and bake in a regular muffin tin at 350 degrees F for 18 minutes.

I tried it with white cake and diet Sunkist. Yummy! I've been thinking about making another batch with diet cherry Coke and chocolate.

I am making some really cute cupcakes for a weekend get together with friends. Found it on the WW website...here it is...

Chocolate Strawberry Cupcake Cones

Makes 12 servings, 6 pts each

3 large eggs
1/2 cup canned sweetened applesauce
12 small plain flat bottom ice cream cones
1/2 cup lite whipped topping
12 medium strawberries
1 cup water
18 1/4 oz unprepared devil's food cake mix

Combine cake mix with eggs, water and applesauce.

Stand ice cream cones in the holes of a muffin tin. Fill each with cake batter to 1 inch from the top. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Top each with 2 teaspoons whipped topping and a strawberry and serve.

**Try these with pastel-colored cones and a light colored cake such as a yellow cake or strawberry, etc - they're great for parties and picnics!**

That Oreo Pie looks delicious. I may make it next time instead of the Jell-O, yogurt and Cool Whip one. Y'all probably already have that recipe, too ... but here it is anyway.

1 box SF Jello
1/4 cup hot water
2 containers low-fat/non-fat yogurt
1 container Cool Whip Free
1 reduced-fat graham cracker crust

In a good-sized bowl, dissolve Jell-O in hot water. Whisk in yogurt, then fold in whipped topping. Pour into crust and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Serves 8. WWP per serving: 3.

I've tried strawberry Jell-O and yogurt, lime and lemon. I was also thinking orange might be good ... like a Creamsicle on a crust, and maybe cherry.

For something really exotic, what about pina colada yogurt and lemon Jell-O? Hmm ...

Peaches & Cream Pie

Serves 8
WWP - 3

1 Nilla Wafer Pie Crust* - increase pts to 4 if using ready made!!!
1 box SF Peach Jell-O
1 1/2 C Cool Whip Free
1 can SF sliced peaches drained & diced (1/2 inch dice)
3/4 C boiling water
2 C ice cubes

* You can make your own crust with Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers and about 1/4 c melted light butter(try it with less, you only need enough to make it stick together and form a crust in your pie pan)...crush 48 Nilla Wafers (about 1 1/2 C crumbs) Mix together and press onto bottom and sides of a deep pie plate.

Stir boiling water into jello mix, stirring well until completely dissolved. Add ice cubes and stir until slightly thickened. Remove unmelted ice. Add Cool Whip and stir until well blended. Gently stir in peaches. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until mixture is thick enough to mound. Spoon into crust, refrigerate three hours or until set.

This combo can be changed up to suit many flavor favorites. Just use a different flavor SF Jell-O and try it with a different fruit. How about Cherry with a can of mandarin oranges? Or Pineapple Jell-O and bananas?..Yum!!

This is a great refreshing dessert!

Does anyone have a low point version of hawaiian fruit salad?...you remember the one with mini marshmallows, sour cream, and canned fruit salad....yummy stuff but it's gotta be a killer with the points per serving...I always doctored mine up with extra pineapple, marachino cherries, mandarin oranges...but omitted the called for coconut and walnuts...and sometimes banana just in each individual serving (because it gets discolored if it sits in there)..

Anyway, I am hungry for it but want to do it light....any suggestions??
