Single serving desserts?

meeper123

My husband is not into sweets, so if I make dessert I either have it around forever or I eat too much of it. I was looking for some good single serve desserts.

tiny splash vanilla
5tbsp applesauce
1egg

Have you heard of the 3-2-1 cake? It's amazing - and you can mix it up with whatever cake mix you like.
1 box angel food cake mix
1 box regular cake mix (whatever flavor)
Mix together. (I store mine in a big Ziploc in the cabinet.)


In a small microwavable dish, combine 3 tablespoons of the mix with 2 tablespoons of water.
Microwave for 1 minute.
Viola. :-)

(I usually add a tbl of fat free cool whip to give it a little zing.)

Try making desserts in cupcake/muffin tins for a small size. Or you could go to someplace like Bed, Bath & Beyond and pick up some dishes called ramekins. The small ones are about the size of the palm of your hand and they're designed for things like creme brulee or flan for single servings (though you could make a cake or other things in there too besides brulee or flan).

With those you could easily make a creme brulee, flan, small cake, pie, cobbler or parfait. Pretty much endless, all in a nice portion sized cup.
