I've just started making chocolate pudding out of raw cacao powder and plain Greek yogurt, usually about 2-3 TBS stirred into a cup of the yogurt and sweetened with liquid vanilla stevia. If it's difficult to mix, just add a little water or skim milk. My first thought was that it wasn't bad but could never pass for chocolate pudding, but like usual, my taste has acclimated to it, and now I think it's delicious. I usually stir a couple tablespoons of it into a cut up banana, and sometimes add a couple tablespoons of whipped cream. It's a very satisfying and filling snack for less than 150 calories. You can just use half the banana to cut down on the calories. I've also dipped strawberries in the pudding, which makes a really low-cal snack.0

OMG I love Alpen bars! I wish we had that light variation...0

I prefer smaller portions of chocolate, cookies, cake, ice cream etc.
But I do like greek yogurt mixed with smaller portions of Ice cream, or with a bit of nutella or pb, or crushed cookies.
My most diet friendly sweet is probably SF gelatin. Depending on flavor, an entire prepared box is anywhere from 20-40 calories. Add a dollop of yogurt for a high protein low cal parfait.

Just about every evening I have a bowl of yogurt. I like a few of the fruit flavours, but didn't used to like the vanilla yogurt until it suddenly dawned on me that I could add things to it like chocolate and cinnamon, maple syrup and SPC fruit crush-ups, kiwi fruit and maple syrup, and all sorts of combinations. All carefully weighed out, of course.0

We have an instant pudding range available here (Moirs) which allows you to mix up a whole batch (450ml) and finish it yourself for a manageable amount of calories. I do that when I really have the need for a volume treat. If I have half it fits easily on to the end of a meal, otherwise it is the whole meal.
I am happy to skip *real* food for dessert and I do it quite often, particularly when I am feeling hormonal. The times I go over calories are when I pretend I don't want the dessert, eat the regular food first and then STILL want the dessert. Better to be honest with yourself from the start.
I am obsessed with Woolworths Pumpkin pie, which is a crustless sweetened side vegetable - not a dessert pie, but tastes as good as any chocolate or cake option to me. I can also eat 400g of it in one sitting so also a great volume option. Sometimes portion size really matters.
If I only have a teeny amount of calories available a Woolworths Diet Frozen Yogurt or a diet Hot Chocolate does the trick.0 -
A big glass of diet strawberry drink with a scoop of strawberry whey protein blended in.0

I wish I had the self control to have sweet things in the house! At this point I can't but maybe one day. If I;m really desperate for something sweet I will mix 1 table spoon of nut butter with 0.5 teaspoon of pure maple syrup and a little cinnamon, very satisfying0

I like oreos (47 calories each), fruit shortcake (38 calories), Neapolitan ice cream sandwich bars (106 calories), Solero Mango flavoured ice cream stick (90 calories), Fab ice lolly (85 calories)
I'm more of a crunch person so I like Popchips and Pops (around 90 calories a 25g bag) or standard Walkers crisps for around 130g
Toast and jam (around 140 calories)
I like Greek yogurt and berries and eat that daily - but mainly for the fibre and protein hit0 -
My protein Protein Cookies0

small portions of full fat stuff. QUEST BARS. They make a perfect meal replacement too0

I don't like to eat sugar so my favorite 'go too' sweet snack is Better N' Peanut Butter and Chia Fruit Spread. I like to mix them into a plain Greek yogurt. So yummy and satisfies my NEED for PB&J without added sugars, calories and/or fat0

I also love Alpen light bars. I like Rainbow Drops (they are 4 for £1 usually) it's a 32g bag and 82 calories. Hartlys Sugar free jelly pots are great, all flavours are under 10 calories a pot.0

Yasso frozen Greek yogurt ice cream bars are delicious, especially the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor. Only 100 calories too My Wal-Mart carries them.0

My absolute favorite that I've been hitting instead of any other treats for the last month is a cut up banana, 2tbl redi whip, 1tbl chocolate sauce, and 1/4 cup of peanuts, omg, drool..0

All my sweet treats are diet friendly & none of them are ever a low calorie or light version of anything.0
-
Werthers sugar free butterscotch candies. 5 for 40 calories. I can make these last for about an hour when I'm watching TV. They have chocolate flavor also. Yum!

Frozen bananas in a food processor with cocoa powder and a splash of milk or non dairy milk is delicious. It seriously takes like chocolate banana ice cream.0
-
Berries, banana with almond butter, almond milk latte (I warm up almond milk and brew chai tea in it with a little honey)
I don't like a lot of the low cal treats, so I just use portion control and enjoy it.0 -
Talenti gelato - a few bites usually satisfies me late at night. Cookie butter - it's 190 calories (I think) for a serving of the crunchy version, which I usually just eat off of a spoon. I don't tend to eat a full serving, though.0

If I may ask, which flavors do you like? I find them all way too sticky and cloyingly sweet for my taste.
