Supposed to Take Dessert to a Friend's - HELP!!!

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.

You are helping this friend with a Do it yourself (herself) project? Um... bring whatever sounds good to you!

BUMP

Fresh fruit and low-cal whipped topping or low-cal ice cream.

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.

:bigsmile: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Oops....sorry. I didn't see the part about no bake dessert.

You could get some small pastry shells and fill with sugar free pudding and top with whipped topping. Maybe a cherry on top?

I like other's ideas with the strawberries, too. :drinker:

Cut up fruit, with cool whip.. You could do berries mixed blueberries, strawberries. or angel food cake with a can of fruit mixed in with cool whip.

Or sugar free jello/fuit/cool whip

So many healthy choices, just probably not the type of dessert we would want! like cheesecake, cake with frosting, cupcakes, and cookies..

You've got the strawberries and cream..just get some raspberries and meringue nests and make Eton Mess

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!!

I'm going to a potluck next week and am switching to bringing these!! Yum!

Chocolate strawberry trifle:

1 angel food cake (chocolate or plain)
3 individual cups of jello chocolate pudding (i use sugar free)
strawberries or any other kind of berry
nuts (optional) i often use crunchy granola or heath bar in a pinch
ff or sugar free whipped cream

break cake into 1 inch chunks and layer in a medium to large trifle or bowl as follows:


cake
pudding
berries
whipped cream
nuts
cake
pudding
berries
whipped cream
nuts and berries for a pretty topping

Makes 8 big servings

it takes like 5 minutes. It is super yummy with a HUGE portion around 250-300 cals per serving. you could totally do a half serving and be satisfied

Just bring fruit (strawberries, pineapple, bananas, etc.) and a bag of dark chocolate chips with some skewers. Melt the chips at the party and everyone can make their own chocolate fondue!

Another good one is to get a pre-made angel food cake, some blueberries, strawberries and kiwis. Slice the cake into two or three layers, top each layer with fruit and cool whip. With the cake it there it might be more successful

Dessert Nachos:

Get some whole grain (NOT whole wheat) tortillas, put a little olive oil on them, dust LIGHTLY with cinnamon and stevia/sugar, cut them into wedges and bake them until crispy. Cut up some strawberries while this is baking. Once the chips are done, arrange a single layer on a plate and then toss the strawberries on top. Now, get some dark chocolate chips and melt them using a double boiler. use a spoon to lightly drizzle the chocolate over the whole thing. Top with light whipped cream.

Done properly, these clock in around 200 Calories per serving and are an excellent novelty.

Oreo balls

Cream cheese fat free
1 bag of oreo cookies
1 bag of semi sweet choc chips

put the oreos in a food processor and chop them up to crumbs
add the cream cheese to the oreo crumbs and mix well forming a ball
pinch off the ball to make smaller ones and place on wax paper
melt choc chips
dip balls in chocolate and return them to the wax paper
put in fridge and in about 30 minutes they are ready to eat

Warning they are not fat free and I don't know how many calories but if you only had one or two it shouldn't be that bad

I am also bumping for later... there are some really delicious sounding low cal desserts in here :-)

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

This is exactly what I was going to suggest!!!
