Low Calorie Deserts

Here's my favorite make at home dessert of all time... Fried Ice Cream!

Ingredients (per serving):
1/2 cup Eddy's Slow Churned French Vanilla Ice cream
1/4 cup Frosted Flakes, smashed
1 Tbsp caramel (or chocolate sauce)
Reddi-Whip
1 marachino cherry

Directions
Scoop the ice cream into a 1/2 cup measuring cup (this makes it easy for portion sizes, as well as making a nice ball for step 2).

Pour the Frosted Flakes onto a salad plate, scoop the ice cream from the measuring cup and roll it around in the flakes until throughly coated (I sometimes use a spoon to push the flakes into the ice cream)

Put the coated ice cream in a bowl, top with caramel, whipped cream and cherry.

It's about 200 calories per serving. Enjoy!

If you have something for around 100 with a cup of milk, there's your 200! For smaller sizes, I put Peppermint Patties in the freezer. After a few hours or a few days, they're a great teeny treat. One of them is only 43ish calories!

If I really want a treat, i get two or three cupcakes, divide them up, and I have a small piece of each to last two or more days.

You can have anything, really - it's just the size that varies.

That's cool, I have found a lot of sugar free candies/chocolates as well in the candy isle!!!!

I don't usually post, but I just came up with a great dessert yesterday, so, I felt like sharing. You just put 1/4 cup of Breyers' All Natural Vanilla ice cream (which is half the serving size) with whatever amount you choose of orange pop (I used Diet Sunkist) and you have a Creamsicle float! It was only 7g of carbs, 4g of fat and 65 calories! It was still pretty bad in that I try to not have anything fake, which the pop is riddled with, and pop is really bad for you for other reasons, but it's a low cal, fairly low fat but decadent dessert!

Ok, so you don't make these BUT I love the Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches. Plus there are lots and lots of great low cal deserts in the freezer at the store.

Here's a great one from ChangeOnediet.com from Reader's Digest:

We cooked this up in the office as an after lunch snack. We replaced the brown sugar with Splenda Brown Sugar Blend and served with frozen vanilla yogurt (added 90 calories but it was worth it :happy: ). Everyone loved it!!

I love the weight watchers smart ones, the meals too, but the desserts are great, most of them are about 170 calories or so, and they are yummy! there is a strawberry shortcake, keylime pie, mint cookie icecream, and peanut butter cup sundae, there are others too, but those are my faves!

personally I would use the 60 calorie butterscotch pudding and make a parfait with layers of frozen cool whip. Or I always enjoy coring an apple, filling it with oatmeal, cinnamon, splenda and sometimes frozen berries in the middle. Add a bit of water and microwave for 3-4 minutes and you have a crumbly, steaming apple dessert that melts in your mouth. I put skim milk or unsweetened almond breeze over it, although you could indulge in low cal ice cream if you have it! yum, I love sweets lol :bigsmile:
