I Need a Good Dessert Recipe...

I need to provide one of 4 desserts for our Alpha night next week. I want it to be something I can actually have ( I have not been having dessert at these weekly gatherings cuz ya never know how much sugar is in them )  The thing is I want it to be good for the rest of the peeps too - Ya know so they wouldn't believe me when I tell them it is low in sugar

So anyone have a good recipe they are willing to share?

Thanks Bunches!

This recipe is from Sherry V.....delicious!!!

Chocolate Passion Bowl  
3 cups cold milk
2 pkg (4 serving size each) SF Jello Chocolate Instant Pudding
1-8 ounce tub cool whip (I use the lite you could use SF)
1 SF angel food cake cubed (I normally find it at Walmart or Rainbow)
2 Cup raspberries  
Pour milk into large bowl, add dry pudding, beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended.  Gently stir in 1 cup of the cool whip, place half the angel food cake cubes in a 2 quart serving bowl, top with half of the pudding mixture, half the raspberries and half of the remaining whipped topping.  Repeat layers.  Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

 

I don't have a recipe per se, but I recently tried the new Sugar-free Cheesecake flavored pudding and it is deeeelishh!  I'm thinking that with some fruit topping and maybe sugar-free cool-whip, you could whip up something that would be pretty close to cheesecake.    You know that recipe for Strawberry Pretzel salad?  I've been thinking alot about if you could make a crust out of crushed pretzels and splenda . . . but I can't figure out what to hold it together with.  Good luck! 

I posted a pumpkin dip for apples etc a while back - it is YUMMY and WLS friendly.  Maybe dear Diamond Girl bookmarked it and will post it - otherwise might want to check the recipe board on OH - sometimes they have goodies too!

 

Here is what LAFoster was talking about. It's absolute DELICIOUS!!

Pumpkin Spice Dip

8 oz. whipped cream cheese
3 tablespoons splenda
2 tablespoons Sugar Free Caramel, Vanilla or Pumpkin Pie spice coffee syrup
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, splenda and syrup til creamy.
2. Add pumpkin, spices and vanilla and beat til smooth.
3. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
4. Enjoy - great with apples!  

Hi CheriLynn, the following WLS-friendly recipe has been a 'hit' with social gatherings.  t's excellent with all cream cheese, although I prefer subbing one or two 8 oz Neufachatel which leaves a mellower touch, Reminder:   read entire recipe prior to usage.  This is much easier as it appears to make.

Sernicki (modified to impress!)

3 8 oz fat-free cream cheese, (or, one of two Neufachatel cheese instead of cream cheese) mixed types must total three 8 oz pkgs.) ) partially softened at room temperature
1 cup Splenda
2 tsp vanilla extract
5 eggs

Preheat oven  300 degrees.
Place muffin papers into muffin pans.

Blend the first three items above, adding eggs one at at time.

Spoon into individual muffin cups, filling to the top (will sink later when cooled).
Bake 40 to 45 minutes.  Cool five minutes then top with:

1 c f/f sour cream blended with 1/2 c Splenda and 1 tsp vanilla extract. With regular teaspoon, apply to tops of each, spreading thinly to edges.  Return to oven for five minutes, remove, and let cool. When cooled, add choice of toppings listed below:

Choice of toppings:  per each Sernicki, add either one whole half pecan, or fresh blueberries.  In spring/summer, I prefer using blend of fresh strawberry, kiwi fruit, and blueberries, put into indented 'muffin' tops.

Yields 22

Bonus: 
'Dessert' at home for self:

Prepare choice s/f jello as per box instructions.  pour into square non-metal cake pan.  When completely firm in fridge, spread thin layer of f/f sour cream completely covering.  If preferred, add fresh blueberries.  Delicious, and will taste decadent, yet very WLS legal!

Variations:  raspberry or strawberry s/f jello with fresh blueberries.
                     peach s/f jello with fresh raspberries

Have fun and enjoy!
