Have you figured out how to make something sinful, better for you?

Please share! :D

My b-day is on the 28th and instead of the normal chocolate sheet cake, we'll be doing this....



We'll be using SF Jello - FF Cool Whip and the Reduced Fat crust.

:waving:

We have also made this with bananas!
 
Not particularly sinful to begin with, but I put a serving of rice pudding over frozen fruit for a really light but filling summery dessert. Raspberries are great; I had it tonight with frozen sweet cherries. Yesterday was fresh sliced strawberries and half a banana. Kozy Shack rice pudding is 130 calories for a 1/2 cup serving; the fruit adds another 100 calories or so for a cup. Makes a giant bowlful.
 
My new fave is angel food cake, fresh berries, and whatever FF vanilla vogurt I have on hand. Hill and Valley brand sugar free strawberry angel food cake is my preference, at 60 cal per serving (1/6 of a cake) you can eat a butt load. Typically I top 1/3 of the cake (cubed) with fresh blueberries and strawberries (halved) and cover that with FF vanilla yogurt. Sometimes I put some sugar free strawberry glaze on it as well. My roomy uses Cool-Whip which is pretty good but if I want something sweeter I use Jello SF pudding. Actually I use the Hill and Valley angel food cake and SF Jello pudding to make a trifle out of the same ingredients and that is damn good too. The sky is the limit with angel food cake, its good in parfait's, trifle, pudding cups, topped with SF syrups and SF jam or jelly. Definitely look into the Hill and Valley stuff, sold at WalMart, its half the calories of the SF cake they sell at Kroger and it taste better too. Like I mentioned its 60 cal per serving so it you can eat a bunch, the entire cake is only 360 cal.

any type of fruit cobbler crumble or buckle or pan dowdy -with the fruit and some sort of topping.... I'll make it in individual ramekins - often times wiht frozen fruit and it's quite tasty...
 
Why not try a syllabub with yogurt instead of cream? Or you could use a mixture... I'd try it out for you, but it's winter here and I'm too cold!

Failing that, I have a great recipe for banoffe pie... in case you want to give up the weight loss in favour of diabetes... :)
