    Skinny Frozen Peanut Butter Pies
    Yield: 12 pies

    Ingredients

    ■12 reduced fat oreos
    ■4 ounces fat-free cream cheese (or low-fat) + 1 oz
    ■1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
    ■1/3 cup peanut butter (I use Skippy Naturals, you can use reduced-fat peanut butter if you wish)
    ■1 1/2 cups Cool Whip Free (or you can use low-fat or sugar-free)

    1.Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
    2.crush Oreos and mix with 1 oz of cream cheese. Evenly divide among the muffin cups (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per each). Press down to compact (I use the bottom of a shot glass and it works perfect for this step).
    3.Beat remaining (4oz) cream cheese with a hand mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Fold in Cool Whip.
    4.Divide batter among muffin cups, about 2 tablespoons per each. Freeze overnight before eating.

    I use PB2 for this recipe. Its 130 calories for 1 serving

    http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ - I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet! Great blog FULL of healthy desserts including cakes for one, older recipes don't have cals but I use the recipe feature on MFP to calculate these before I make it if I need to.

    Tonight I had rhubarb (not sure what to call the cooking method!) But it was chopped and put in a saucepan with some dark brown sugar (Made a huge batch with my mum as my parents had a bumper crop - 850g rhubarb + 40g sugar) set heat to medium and stir every so often until soft. (I had 100g which worked out as only 31 cals! - used the end weight as the serving size so I could just put in 100 portions for 100g) Served with vanilla ice cream (55g - 110 cals) and crumbled digestive biscuits (71 cals each - I had two) - we've been watching too many cooking programmes so were calling it 'deconstructed rhubarb crumble' :tongue: It worked out as 286 cals altogether, but the rhubarb itself is very low cal!
    I found it gross. Lots of great reviews on the site but it was blech to me and smelled bad.

    Have you ever tried her cookie dough recipe? If so how did it taste?

    Make sure to double check the calories for chocolate covered katie. I tried one of the recipes... supposedly 110 calories a serving... it turned out close to 400!

    I've made it as well. Disgusting and tasted NOTHING like cookie dough. However, I do like a lot of other recipes she has.

    Wish we had that Cool Whip/Kool Whip thingie over here, it sounds yummy.
    I am currently loving my ice cream maker, using Almond milk as the base means I can add what I like and eat lots and lots of it :bigsmile:

    I've tried this recipe and it turned out well: Homemade Healthy Butterfingers - http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/10/18/healthy-butterfingers/

    For an apple-pie substitute, skin, core and slice an apple, drop into a pain with a tiny bit of oil/butter and sautee until carmelized, sprinkle a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon. Makes a phenomenal oatmeal topping as well. SO good.

    From memory of a Donna Hay recipe:

    In the food processor blend a frozen banana cut into pieces, frozen berries and a little yoghurt or store bought custard. Tastes like ice cream. The berries don't add much flavour but improve the colour. I've heard of people replacing the berries with cacao powder for a chocolate variation.

    Mix:
    6 tbsp of HErshey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
    30 grams of egg white
    3-4 TBSP of water or no-calorie soda
    3/4 tsp baking powder
    Spices & sweetener

    And Microwave 2 - 2 1/2 minutes, and you'll have an AMAZING and big chocolate cake for less than 80 calories!
    You can microwave it less so it will be more fudgy

    1 cup any whole milk yogurt, 2tsp sugar free caramel Torani syrup, liberal sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir and serve. 210 calories. Sure you could use fat free but it won't be as fab!

    Bump..good to know there are some healthy recipe websites..I hope with the nutrition facts also. Craving a lemon meringue pie here, but scared of the calorie content and sugar. Thank you.:flowerforyou:
    If you make Geoffrey Zakarian's lemon tart recipe from The Kitchen website and just put the filling in 8 ramekins and forget the crust it is only 189 cals a serving and kick *kitten* amazing flavor.
