    I like to make mini muffins with banana, PB powder, oatmeal and dark chocolate chips. Has a few other ingredients but no added sugar. One is very satisfying for the chocolate crave @ around 100 cal.

    chop 85g of dark chocolate and melt in a pan. mix cocoa powder (1 tbsp), coffee (1/2 tsp) and vanilla (1/2 tsp) with 2 tpsp of cold water and pour over chocolate. Once it's thick, stir with 2 tbsp of boiling water and the chocolate should become silky smooth and leave it to slightly cool.whisk two egg whites till they soften then whisk 1 tbsp of golden caster sugar until it becomes thick and glossy.beat 50g of greek yogurt into the cooled chocolate. Don't over mix, gently fold. Spoon evenly into 4 small cups and leave to chill for a couple of hours. Top with raspberries and a pinch on cocoa powder on the top.

    I like cooking with as few and as natural ingredients whenever possible, which is how I ended up making chocolate avocado pudding. Blend 1 large avocado until smooth, then mix in 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tbsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste). Chill, then top with chopped strawberries and walnuts, or your fruit of choice. This makes anywhere between 1 large serving (about 350 calories with toppings) and 4 small servings (about 100 calories with toppings.) It goes great in a packed lunch!

    If you lick the spoon, you can definitely taste the avocado, but when you eat it cold it just tastes like chocolate pudding.

    I made a new dessert today, banana and berry "ice-cream" super easy. You chop up 3 bananas and freeze for at least 6 hours, get them out and put them in a blender until smooth then add 50g frozen berries. Tastes just like ice cream but really healthy :D

    I just made mini oreo cheesecakes today... haven't eaten an actual one yet, but all the component parts tasted good.

    Oreo Mini Cheesecake

    16 oz light cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup light sour cream
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 Tbsp. vanilla
    2 eggs
    18 Oreo cookies
    ~4 crushed Oreos for topping
    Muffin tin liners

    Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and eggs until well combined. Line a muffin tin with paper liners (white looks the cutest), and place a whole Oreo at the bottom of each liner. Top with 1/4 c cheesecake mixture and crumbled Oreos (you can mix them into the cheesecake if you prefer). Bake at 275°F/135°C for 22 min. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, leaving the cheesecakes in the muffin tin. Remove them from the muffin tin right before serving.

    NI according to the MFP recipe tool, per one cheesecake:

    1/2 peach, 2 tbsp chopped macadamia nuts-extremely light drizzle of honey. I have heard it even better warm but I never wait.

    I have been eating strawberries and sugar free Cool Whip for a dessert/something sweet. I've been craving chocolate something awful though, so I might eat 5-6 Hershey Kisses when the cravings are terrible.

    Cheesecake Filling
    2 cup container of Fage Total 0 Greek Yogurt
    1 package Cheesecake Jello sugar free/fat free pudding mix
    Mix together. 1/2 cup = ~60 calories.
    I top it with either fresh strawberries, strawberry ice cream topping, or sugar free jam and scoop it up with graham crackers.

    I love jelly kind of dessert and two of my favorites are:

    1) Soymilk pudding: 600ml unsweetened soymilk (heat to almost boiling)+ 10g gelatin powder (melt separately with just enough water - around 3 tbsp) + stevia. Refrig until set. Totally to around 230 calories.

    2) Agar agar - this is close to 0 calories. Mix with water, stevia, boil for 2 minutes then add flavor of your choice (eg coffee powder, unsweetened chocolate powder, cut-up fruits) mix well and refrig until set. Calories depends on what you add.
