Share your homemade desserts! Link or post recipes if you want. I’ll start!
These are Ugly-But-Good cookies, recipe from Smitten Kitchen. It’s basically meringue with toasted hazelnuts, espresso, and bittersweet chocolate chunks folded in.

Winter pavlova. Used pear slices instead of berries because it is winter. Replaced half of the sugar with Splenda in the meringue. Stretched the whipped cream with no fat yoghurt to add tartness that would normally be supplied by summer berries.

Meringue made with just about any nut tastes amazing. I like the espresso in this though.2

Wow this is gorgeous! The arrangement of pears is beautiful.1 -

Haven't dared to make any dessert since Christmas.
I choose to live vicariously through all of your lovely creations. 3 -
Making apple pie on the smoker in a bit. 😁0

My cheat dessert for when I want something sweet and warming without too many calories is...
Microwaved Banana!
Just nuke it in a bowl for 1-1.5mins in its skin. I usually slit it down the middle length ways first and sometimes put 1 broken up square of dark choc down the slit. It melts just like you’d have doing Bananas on a BBQ. I tend to eat with a dollop of 0% fat Greek yoghurt for extra protein and sometimes some berries too and I just eat it by scooping it out of the skin.7 -

Mmm I would add some crushed graham crackers and a few mini marshmallows. Sounds yummy!

Sugar-free fudge!
I use this recipe. Not low calorie due to the butter and the evaporated milk, but it's a treat my boyfriend who's had WLS can have, and I can handle it too, despite my fructose intolerance. Also works as a medicinal edible if appropriate butter is used.

Didn’t realize that fudge was so easy! I made fudge the other week (salted caramel) and it was awesome.

No pictures, sorry.
Cook's Illustrated - Made a chocolate roulade two weeks ago. Chocolate cake, mascarpone cream, and cherry preserves, topped with chocolate buttercream.
Last week was peanut butter chip chocolate cookies. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/15469/peanut-butter-chip-chocolate-cookies/1 -

I'm finding the Better Homes and Gardens website has some good ones. Like these at 69 calories per (admittedly tiny!) square (20 to an 8x8 pan): https://www.bhg.com/recipe/strawberry-lemon-bars/0

Baked donuts made with flour, egg, coconut oil and banana. Topped with a Greek yoghurt chocolate frosting. No refined sugar! Gives me a nice carb fix in the evening with a cup of tea.

Same for me! Doughnuts are one of my top can't-live-without-them treats.
Here are two recipes I have used:

Also going to try make these, as I have made cookies from chickpeas and they were delicious:

I make cookies just about every week. I am the faculty advisor for a student club who's always willing to a) eat cookies and b) give honest feedback. (Or, leave cookies uneaten if they're not so willing to be honest about their feelings.)
This week's cookies were chocolate mint chip, but the cookie that's currently my favorite is a brown butter malted white chocolate chip. I use this recipe, add 150 grams Guittard white chips, dip each ball of dough in Maldon salt before baking: https://www.thebakerchick.com/malted-salted-brown-butter-cookies/4 -
I have a Keto Cheescake recipe with an almond base & butter base...you use muffin tins to bake them in and they are 270 cals 22 g fat..no sugar just sugar sub...I can write the recipe out if anyone is interested...I don't know how to post a pic...you can add a plop of whipped cream but I use Greek yogurt instead and 1/8c or 1/4 c blueberries or any other fruit as a topping...very nice desert and although it is high in fat, there is zero sugar. Easy to make.1

I have been making cookies almost every week for over a year and these are the best so far. I think next week's cookie is going to be similar: salted brown butter with caramel chips. I also have some smoked Maldon salt and I really want to put it on something chocolate.2 -

Sponge flavored with orange zest, extract, and OJ concentrate. Topping is a vanilla&orange cream-cheese buttercream.

If you've got a good chickpea cookie recipe, I'd be interested. I just bought some and they were expensive so I'm looking at recipes on internet. Thanks.0 -
Currently munching on some homemade banana bread with walnuts & dark chocolate chips, more of a snack than dessert I guess though.2

I'm stalking y'all's scrumptious looking cakes and desserts. I need to make a cake for next weekend and thought I'd make a mandarin orange cake but after seeing these cakes y'all are baking, I might try something different and new! They all look delicious; I wouldn't resist eating any of them!3
