When one "needs" desserts, fruit clafoutis are great. They are easy to make and lower in flour and sugar than things like pie and cake. I'm making a rhubarb clafouti tonight from this recipe: http://www.thekitchn.com/spring-dessert-recipe-roasted-145378

The whole recipe is just over 1000 calories and is baked in an 8x8 inch pan, easily cut into 4, 6 or 8 servings. Good served warm or cold.

    Lately, I've been making banana and peanut butter "ice cream," which is just

    -peanut butter
    -almond milk
    -yogurt
    -banana

    I just blend it, freeze it for about an hour or two and enjoy. It's so satisfying.

    Clafoutis sounds so delicious! I think I'll try one with mixed berries.

    This is my favorite dessert when I need to have something sweet.

    What you’ll need:
    Each recipe makes 8 Popsicles
    - 2 cups coconut water
    - 2 cups fruit
    - Popsicle molds

    What you’ll do:
    - Cut up your fruit into small pieces
    - Place fruit in the Popsicle molds to about ¾ full
    - Pour the coconut water over the fruit, filling it the rest of the way
    - Freeze for about 5-8 hours
    -Enjoy!

    Each Popsicle contains:
    34.5 Calories • 0.25 g Fat • 7.75 g Carbs • 0.3 g Protein

    Heidi, I made your Clafoutis recipe. Served it right out of the oven. My family and I really enjoyed it. Reminded me of my time in France. Great idea to post! Thanks so much.

    When I just need dessert I like to make what I call Banana Nut Bread Shakes. I use 2 medium real ripe banana's. 1 cup 1%milk or less to make them thicker and approxiamately 3 cups of Kroger Deluxe Churned no sugar added 40% less fat Butter Pecan Ice Cream. Blend this all together and you have a wonderful shake that serve about four 8oz servings at under 300 calories. I thinks it's about 275. Soooo Yummy!
