WOW dessert for a dinner party any other ideas?
We do a lot of entertaining and have been quietly reducing calories on starters and mains quite successfully without any adverse reaction.(and quite a lot of very positive reactions too)
Last time we made a lemon crunch dessert which was a major success , every guest wanted the recipe.
I
Anyway here it is .... But now I need your low cal indulgent dessert secrets both hot and cold.
LEMON CRUNCH DESSERT
Take a classic martini glass. Frost the rim by rubbing with lemon then dipping in caster sugar (it's decoration you don't have to chip it off and eat it!)
Put a teaspoon of lemon curd in the bottom and smooth out
Mix Greek yoghurt (i use Fage 0%fat) , the grated zest of lemon,
a drizzle of honey and mix gently.
Spoon yoghurt over the lemon curd.
For lowest cals top with a few strands of lemon peel/zest (MFP tip is to make one for yourself like this - 100 cals saved
Immediately.)
For indulgence sprinkle with 25 grams of maple and pecan crunch breakfast cereal (i use Tesco's own)
See my diary for Sunday 6th January for measures, calories etc comes in about 200 cals for a WOW factor dessert that is suitable for dinner guests. The fact it is healthy is our little secret.
(with grateful thanks to my pudding chef - Php01 - for making delightful puddings that support our targets)
