I'm having a girls night out tomorrow, and I need to bring something delicious. I tried to bake low cal brownies (a recipe I found here) but I must have done something wrong because they're bland...
Is there something I can make that's delicious and super quick that I can bring tomorrow?

CREAM CHEESE CLOUDS
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2-3/4 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda *
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or other flavoring
Beat everything with an electric mixer until fluffy. Drop by bite-size spoonfuls onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour. Store in the freezer and eat frozen.
Makes 24 clouds
* I didn't think they were quite sweet enough with 1/2 cup so I used liquid Splenda to equal 3/4 cup granular. The counts are based on 3/4 cup Splenda.
NOTE: You can store these in the refrigerator and they will hold their shape quite well as long as they are good and cold.
With granular Splenda:
Per Cloud: 70 Calories; 7g Fat; 1g Protein; 1g Carbohydrate; 0g Dietary Fiber; 1g Net Carb
Per 2 Clouds: 140 Calories; 14g Fat; 2g Protein; 2g Carbohydrate; 0g Dietary Fiber; 2g Net Carbs
With liquid Splenda:
Per 2 Clouds: 134 Calories; 14g Fat; 2g Protein; .5g Carbohydrate; 0g Dietary Fiber; .5g Net Carbs
Per 4 Clouds: 268 Calories; 29g Fat; 3g Protein; 1g Carbohydrate; 0g Dietary Fiber; 1g Net Carb
PS) you can add crushed pineapple, walnuts, peacans, etc. whatever you like to add to it.0 -

My Girls Night Out don't usually include much food. Maybe some raw oyster shooters LOL ..........but that's probably not quite what you're looking for. Let's see ~thinking~A nice Greek Salad is easy and quick. There's always deviled eggs with LF mayo or yogurt and a little mustard and tons of tiny chopped other things.0

Layer in a glass bowl:
Sugar Free (or not) Angel Food Cake
Sugar Free (or not) chocolate pudding (or vanilla, or whatever flavor you like)
Sugar Free (or not) Cool Whip
Shredded Coconut
Chopped Pecans (or cocoa almonds) - actually, any nut with crunch
**If you use a different flavor of pudding, you can also mix in a drained can of fruit cocktail with the pudding
This can be adjusted to pretty much any flavor combination you like.0 -

Fruit Salad is always a good party staple.
Or if your lookin' for a little more sumpin' sumpin'....
Try 1 box of no pudge brownie mix & mix it with i can of pumpkin (nothing else) then follow the baking directions on the box.
You get a really dense almost fudge like brownie. I dig 'em - maybe you will too.
Let me know~
Have fun tomorrow!0 -
