I have never craved fudge, or cake like I have the past week.

Anyone have any recipes that are sugar free or low cal??

    I make this all of the time.

    There are a lot of other recipes on skinnytaste.com as well.

    I also like angel food cake with strawberries and fat free Cool Whip.

    Edited: I just saw that you are allergic to strawberries. You can also make chocolate angel food cake - just add some cocoa powder to the cake mix, and eat with fat free Cool Whip. You can always add another fruit instead of strawberries as well.

    Probably should have mentioned that I'm deathly allergic to strawberries, and Mayo isn't a desert :) haha

    Check out Skinnytaste.com. She has some awsome recipes. Last week I made a low cal/sugar free cake that was super easy. One box of sugar free yellow cake mix and one 20oz can of crushed pineapple w/ juice. No eggs, oil or water added. Mix it together and bake. It worked out to about 145 cal per slice ( 12 slices for a bundt cake ). The family couldn't believe it was sugar free/low cal!

    Don't bother. If you're absolutely desperate, go ahead but don't expect much. It's more like flavored watered-down frozen skim milk than ice cream. It's super hard to scoop, not at all creamy and pretty flavorless. I'll stick with my fat-free frozen yogurt. It's more calories but at least I'm getting a treat. Scooping a bowl of that Arctic Zero stuff was just a whole lot of work for a whole lot of disappointment.

    The skinny cow line is great!! Very decadent taste for the little amount of calories! They just came out with a limited edition coffee flavored truffle bar that is delish

    I like yoomoo frozen yoghurt or Walls Solero (90 calories).
    I tend most evenings to mix together Fage 0% Greek Yoghurt, tbsp jam/jelly, banana, mixed seeds, chopped walnut and some prunes for a really sweet and nutritious dessert. Not particularly low calorie (about 250-300), but beats an ice cream or chocolate binge.

    I really like arctic fake icecream lol...But only certain flavors... Strawberry, vanilla maple, and chocolate are the ones I really like...and they all work great in smoothies. I want to try the pumpkin flavor....ANYWAY.... I mix fage 0% greek yogurt with diet swiss miss cocoa and it tastes like super creamy chocolate pudding....Its a lifesaver during TOM

    Chocolate pudding pie! It's delicious, filling, and pretty low cal. Makes 8 servings.
    -2 small packets sugar free chocolate jello (powder)
    -4-6 cups silk light soy milk (enough for the right consistency)
    -Reduced fat pie crust

    Mix jello+soy milk. Pour into pie crust. Refrigerate. Yep it's that easy!
    Comes out to around 200 cals a piece (depending on the pie crust you get)

    I like Diana's Banana Babies (dark chocolate). Frozen yogurt with fruit....

    and today I found the best brownie/chocolate cake craving solution EVER. 90 cal Fiber One brownie spread with one tbsp Philly Dark Chocolate.
    GOOD.

    P.S. I do not count yogurt/fruit, etc., as desserts. I mean, I sometimes eat them as sweet snacks, I truly enjoy them, but when I say dessert, I mean DESSERT.... and when a dessert craving hits, it's usually chocolate.

    I'm a chocolate fiend. I bought some Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter and you can literally put it on anything to help with the rich chocolate cravings.

    Try 3-2-1 cake: Mix 1 box of angel food cake mix with 1 box of any other flavor cake mix. 3 Tbs of cake mix + 2 Tbs water in a small container and microwave for 1 min. Portion controlled goodness!

    I have a new favorite dessert.! It isn't healthy, but pretty low cal. You buy the reduced fat graham crackers and a tob of the premade Cheesecake filling. You swipe about a tablespoon of cheesecake filling on each graham cracker. You end up with all the creaminess and taste of cheesecake and some sweet crunchiness of a graham cracker. I don't have the exact specs on it but I figured it was less than 100 cal for 1 sheet (2 squares of graham crackers) with the filling spread on top.

    check out hungrygirl.com

    I'm pretty sure there are some recipes for low cal choco cake on there, using a box cake but club soda instead of eggs and oil and those types of substitutions.

    Oh yeh.. and I forgot about this..

    Use chocolate graham crackers and put fat free whipped cream between two. Freeze them. It's a low cal, low fat substitute for ice cream sandwiches. Not to bad.

    These are 2 I eat all the time and are de-frickin-licious ;-)

    1) 1/4C part-skim ricotta with cocoa powder and a packet of splenda (~100 cals)

    2) 1/4C of quaker 1 minute oats (uncooked), 1/4 T cocoa powder, 1/4 T maple syrup or honey or agave nectar, 1/2T peanut butter. You can eat this straight (which I usually do) or roll into balls and cool in the fridge to make "cookies". yum yum yum (~150cals)

    Oh you won't be disappointed!!!

    I have recently fell in love with "skinny cake". "skinny brownies" didn't work.

    For cake the best so far is: 1 box of cake mix I used Betty Crocker super moist devils food cake mix
    1can of pepsi max

    bake 350 for 30 mins. Love it! I cut mine into 24 pieces which makes it 67 cal, 15 carbs, 1 fat, 1 protein, 3 calcuim, 152 sodium per piece.
