    Mix 8oz low fat cream cheese and 1/4 cup of powedered sugar. Hull some strawberries and then pipe that cream cheese filling into them. Crush a reduced fat graham cracker and dip the filled strawberry tops in the crushed graham cracker. Strawberry cheesecake bites. ~40 calories each and so yummy!!
    Those are delicious! I make those a lot!

    If you're really in a rush, buy a sugar free cake at the grocery store. Slice it up and fan it out nicely on a platter. Done! :wink:

    You read my mind!

    Peanut Butter Bites. Not completely guilt free but a good compromise that won't blow your diet and your guests will enjoy:

    4 Graham Crackers
    8 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter
    1/2 cup powdered sugar
    1 Tablespoon Honey
    15 grams mini chocolate chips (Optional)

    Makes about 18 balls. Per serving: (with the chocolate chips) 74 calories 8 carbs 4 fat 2 protein

    Mix together Peanut Butter, powdered sugar and honey add mini chocolate chips if desired. Make into about 18 balls. Crush the graham crackers into tiny crumbs. (I put them in a ziploc and use a rolling pin). Roll the balls into the graham crackers crumbs to cover them. Let chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.

    Fat Free Chocolate Jello Pudding Pie.

    Mix Up One Container of Instant Sugar Free/Fat Free Jello w/ 1% Milk
    Fold In a Half of Container Fat Free Cool Whip
    Spoon into a Graham Cracker or Oreo Cookie Pie Crust (here is the bulk of the fat and calories)
    Garnish with Chocolate Sprinkles, Raspberries, or Crushed Graham Cracker/Chocolate Cookie

    Chill and Serve.

    You can also do this with Banana, Lemon, or Key Lime (or get adventurous with Pistachio).

    Anywho, it isn't exactly "healthy" but it won't ruin your day either and you can give your friends something that they will enjoy. You can always keep it light by not eating the crust and having a small serving size.

    Good luck!

    Love this recipe! I've also blended in peanut butter (with the chocolate) to make a quick chocolate peanut butter pie. As you said, it's not the same as fruit, but it's a nice compromise for people who aren't as concerned about healthy options.

    Frozen banana in food processor. :-) Makes something the consistancy of ice cream. Add a bit of cocoa, nuts, what have you to make it something other than banana flavored.

    Pick up an Angel Food cake at the grocery store. Serve with fresh strawberries, light whipped cream and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar (yet - it's good and my friends think I am gourmet LOL)

    Yum Yum Brownie Muffins from Hungry Girl
    these are ALWAYS a big hit!!!!!

    1 box devil's food cake mix (I like Duncan Hines best)
    1 reg size can of pumpkin

    Sift cake mix (optional, but better), whisk together cake mix and pumpkin. Batter will be very thick. Spoon into 12 cupcake liners. Use an ice cream scoop, it's easier. Bake 400 for 20 minutes. Sooo yummmmmy.

    Needs no frosting. Keep tightly covered.

    bring the strawberries and whipped cream and add angel food cake to it! do sugar free if you want! :)


    This is my favorite. If you want to make it look a little fancier, I cut up strawberries, add blueberries... add a tbls of sugar free vanilla tourani syrup a squeeze of lemon. Then you have a fruit topping, with angel food cake, and cool whip. It comes out to under 150 cals per serving. YUM!
