Easter!

Is it the ONLY dessert? If there will be something else to choose from, I would say fruit with a low-cal fruit dip. Or you could do those angel food and pineapple cupcakes that are less than 100 calories a piece.

Funny you should ask....

I am making my light jello cake. I usually use the reduced sugar yellow cake mix. I make it as directed on the box but I make it in a long rectangle pan. After it is cooled I punch hole in the cake all over with a big straw. Then I prepared sugar free strawberry jello as directed on the box and I pour it on top of the cake. It sinks in the holes. I put the whole cake in the refrigerator to set the jello. Before serving I put fat free cool whip on the top. For Easter I have some coconut slivers that I dye green (for grass) and some bright color jelly beans for decorations!!!!

Happy Easter!!!!

Check out www.skinnytaste.com. She has tons of dessert recipes on her site. I'm leaning towards the Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake, myself.
Good luck!!

Curtis Stone's 60 Cal Cupcakes
5 organic egg whites
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

For the frosting
1 cup nonfat cream cheese, at room temp
1 cup fresh raspberries
Fresh raspberries to garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325F.
2. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and using a handheld mixer whip the whites on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes or until the whites begin to lighten up and hold their shape.
3. Increase speed to high and whip in the salt and honey until the whites hold a soft peak, then add the vanilla extract.
4. Fold in the yogurt.
5. In a separate medium mixing bowl combine the flour and baking powder and mix well.
6. Sift the dry ingredients into the egg whites a little at a time, gently folding them in with a rubber spatula.
7. Once fully incorporated, scoop the batter into cupcake tins lined with cupcake papers.
8. Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes or until they have colored and gently spring back when pushed with a finger.
9. Remove from the oven and cool the cupcakes at room temp.
10. While the cupcakes are baking, puree the raspberries in a blender until smooth.
11. Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the puree reduces slightly.
12. Cool completely.
13. Place the cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl and fold the puree into the cream cheese until fully mixed.
14. Once cupcakes are cool, spread a little of the berry frosting over the cupcakes, garnish each with one raspberry and serve.
