Looking for different dessert ideas

Twinmom1221

I'm having an experimental dinner tomorrow night where each dish has something new/different in it. I am making the cauliflower crust pizza, veggies and dip made with cottage cheese, and a dessert-I'm stuck on the dessert.

Please share any suggestions for fun but easy (and preferably fairly inexpensive) dessert ideas.

I made a rhubarb crisp the other day that was SO yummy. Is that different enough for your fun dinner?

Hungrygirl.com has some neat ideas..we tried plain nonfat yogurt mixed with a liitle crystal light, sliced berries and a bit of Kashi golean cereal on top for crunch.

I have heard Brownies! Any brownie box with a can of pumpkin puree! Supposed to be good! I made white cake mix last night with 10oz (or can) or diet sunkist or diet orange soda. I put them in muffin tin and they taste like orange creamsicle! No icing but you could use cool whip. Supposed to be 100 calories.

Angel food cake trifle: cake cubes, sugar free pudding, berries, and non fat cool whip

Rainbow sherbet roll - angel food cake (baked in a jelly roll pan) spread sherbet on top - roll & freeze. Easier than it looks.

This is always a hit and one of my favorites to make. One I made the other day was a "Yellow Butter Diet Soda Cake."

Betty Crocker - Yellow Butter Cake Mix - Mix Only, 1 cake
A&W - Diet Rootbeer Soda, 10 oz
Eggs - White only, raw, 2 large
Kraft - Fat Free Cool Whip, 24 tbsp. (equal to 1 1/2 cup)

Add first 3 ingredients together and mix w/ a spoon. Bake according to the cake instructions. Let cool completely and top with cool whip. Serves 15

You can also do this with chocolate cake mix and 10 oz of diet coke...it's delicious

You should do the frozen banana "ice cream". It looks and tastes a lot like ice cream but doesn't contain any cream or refined sugar!

Cut bananas into slices (about 1-1 1/2 bananas per person)
Freeze them
Put into food processor and blend until "ice cream" texture

I promise it's super delicious! You can even add vanilla extract, fresh fruit, or chocolate syrup to jazz it up.

crunched up low fat graham cracker crumbs, layered under a mix of fat free, sugar free vanilla instant pudding (made with skim milk) and fat free (sugar free if you can find it) cool whip, pour on (lightly) sugar free chocolate icing (pillsbury) that has been melted in the microwave until liquid.. layer this twice. Not sure what its called but it is fantastic and cost about $10 to make

Do the bananas turn brown?

I call it Chocolate Eclair dessert. YUMMY!!!

Thank you all so much for the great ideas. I'm going to make the No Bake Fudgey Balls from the skinnytaste website. Since there will only be two of us at dinner I can make these and have one or two and then freeze the rest to bring into work.

I will however, be trying the banana ice-cream. My kids love bananas and ice-cream so this sounds like a winner.

Bump!

Just an update, the no bake fudgy snowballs were a big hit. I think I would have liked them more rolled in coconut, but everyone thought they were great.
