I have a bad sweet tooth. I am looking for a few good recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth so I don't cheat.

I prefer small portions of a high calorie dessert over a larger portion of an unsatisfying imitation/low cal dessert. For example, I have containers of fudge and Nanaimo bars, sliced small, in my freezer. One piece is about 70-100 calories and intense enough to be satisfying.0

Sometimes I take 2 T of regular sour cream and mix in 2 splendas and about 1 T of unsweetened cocoa and eat it with a tiny spoon. YUM! For only about 72 calories.0

I was also going to suggest just making a smaller portion of your usual desserts. I love ice cream so I haven't stopped eating it, I just eat a smaller amount of it and then have a lot of fruit with it. I usually have about 50 grams of ice cream for ~130 calories. I also have a low fat custard (I think this is an Australian/English thing, not sure where you live) which is 77 calories for 100 grams so I have that with fruit too. If I don't have as many calories left for the day (though I usually pre-log and make room for dessert every day) I just have a fun size chocolate bar for ~50 calories. Being pre-portioned makes it harder for me to eat too much, I'd feel worse going up and getting another fun size bar out of the packet than I would breaking off an extra block from a big block of chocolate.0

I like homemade strawberry Tirami-Su
The recipe for a nice bowl for 4 servings
You need 100 gram of ladyfingers (around 12 pieces - 378 kalories)
a little bit more than 1 pound fresh strawberries (150 kalories)
Splenda or Erythrol (I always have it - mixed with real vanilla),
no fat Quark (1 cup) (if not available - replace it with no fat greek yoghurt) 145 calories
and some fresh whipping cream (Crème Chantilly, maybe half cup fluid = 100 gram) 250 kalories
and 20 gram white Chocolate (120 kalories)
Cut half of the strawberries in pieces, put the rest into a blender with some splenda
Whip the cream with the Vanilla-Erythrol (or with splenda) until creamy, add the Quark or greek yoghurt
Put some ladyfingers in a bowl, cover with the strawberry purree, than a layer of the cream and repeat this.
You should end with cream and a few drops of the purree.
Spread the pieces of strawberries on the top - add now some shaved white Chocolate.
Allow a few hours to "soak".
It is more than delicious
(I tried to translate the recipe and to recalculate from metric amounts)
Whole recipe is around 1000 kalories = 250 kalories per serving
Sometimes I made Frozen Yoghurt - I have a Icecreammaker - so I just mix 5 ounces plain lowfat yoghurt, 1 tablespoon quark and Vanilla-Erythrol. Freeze it for 15 minutes at the icecreammaker - tastes so yummie - I like it with some fresh strawberries. It is under 200 kalories together with the strawberries.
Quark is something I really miss when in the states - very difficult to get - very healthy, high protein, no fat and wonderful for baking, desserts and so on (if you want to make german cheesecake you need it....another low fat dessert)
There is a new company selling quark in the US too - maybe you can find it in your shop - it is called Elliquark.
Wholefoods should have it in stock...

I made a bunch of individual gluten free Key Lime Pie for DH last week. You chill a can of coconut milk overnight, then add with the juice of 3 limes and a tsp of sugar. Add and pour into ramekin, with crushed cookies or graham crackers as a topping.
It was GOOD !!!0 -
Freeze a banana or two; when frozen - take the banana and throw it in a strong blender; it will turn to soft serve ice cream ...add flavors that you like. I add: unsweetened cocoa and peanut butter. My son likes a handful of frozen strawberries thrown in. Very adaptable to your like's!!
I have a really strong blender so I don't have to add any liquid, but if your blender is not that strong you may need to add a bit of liquid like maybe milk to get it going.0 -
I like peanut butter on thims0

This time of year, fresh strawberries! Buy some fat free Cool Whip and you've got a party... very low calorie and you can have a big portion for under 100 calories.
Frozen low fat yogurt is really good.
Melt some chocolate morsels (like Nestles) and drizzle them over chopped bananas and then freeze. Delish.0 -

Honestly, once you make this low calorie, low carb, high protein dessert your life will never be the same again. Take it from someone who has a HUGE sweet tooth.
In a blender, blend 1 scoop of protein, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, stevia, and 5 grams of xanthan gum and a TON of ice. Blend blend blend and you will have yourself some ice cream! Xanthan gum can be found at any store, its a powder used for baking, dressings and sauces. It acts as a thickening agent and help make things thick, hence how you end up with ice cream like dessert. So amazing!0
