does anyone have any good dessert recipes for THANKSGIVING?

we're thinking about doing Chocolate Fondue for Christmas, and dipping fresh fruit. using Fat Free whipping cream, and marshmallows, and just follow the fondue pot recipe (I got the fondue pot from Target for about $25-30) and the recipe came in the box. SO good! We got Strawberries, and bananas, and all sorts of fruit (no canned fruit- it doesn't stay on the fork). I didn't feel bad about the chocolate - since you don't get too much -and you split it out...

I made this a couple days ago and it was good, but the next one I make will be with lemon jello. And also, I'm going to mix the whipped jello with the whipped topping. My bf and I agree we think it will be better that way.
Also the cake I made had far more calories per 1/12 recipe than 80. 1/12 of the lowest calorie angel food cake I could find has 105 calories (the other had 140 per 1/12) so I'm confused about how you managed to get 1/12 of the cake with the jello & whipped topping to be 85 calories. Mine ends up being 150 (um, which is still awesome). Is there a certain brand of angel food cake you buy?

I mean, 1/12 of the recipe is a *big* slice. I've actually been eating 1/24 of it as a serving. The calories are low, regardless, I was just wondering if there's a specific cake you use. Thanks!

I also wanted to add that it was the very first time I have ever made Jello. I've always been kind of freaked out by it. :laugh: So, thanks for the new experience. I'm much more at ease with it being whipped. I had no idea you could even do that to Jello. :laugh:

:bigsmile: I was calculating form a recipe web site which said a 12oz prepared angel food cake had 72 cals per serving. But after reading your post a checked and the calorie range from about 72 to 140 depending on the cake you buy (:noway: I never thought about that) Any ways I found a recipe for sugarfree angel food cake which would knock the calorie below the 85 mark (but I would not want to make the angelfood cake part.) I am glad you enjoyed it and had some fun as to how to make it better.
Here is the sugar free cake recipe. I am glad you can accept jello for who it is now :bigsmile: I dont like Jello either (Blech)
Angel Food Cake

1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar twin
1 cup egg whites (8 to 10 eggs)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sift 1/8 cup Sugar Twin and flour together four times. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Add remaining sugar a little at a time, beating in well. Add flavorings and beat until very stiff. Fold flour into egg white and sugar mixture, sifting small amounts at a time. Pour into 10-inch ungreased tube pan. Cut through with a spatula to remove air bubbles. Bake at 275 degrees for 30 minutes, then raise the heat to 300 degrees and bake until done. Invert pan over bottle neck for one hour before removing form pan. Makes 12 servings.

But, I made my idea of the lemony jello angel food cake and it is AWESOME. I followed your instructions except I mixed a whole container of whipped topping in with the whipped jello. Then I poured all that over the angel food cake chunks & mixed them together. It's a wonderful lemony creamy piece of delicious. and 75 calories for 1/24 the recipe.

Yum!
