Dessert recipes?
What are some yummy dessert recipes that I can share with my family. Some people are on a diet but I still want them to enjoy delicious sweets with the rest of the family.
Answers:
Why don't you make a fruit salad. That is my favourite salad.
The only thing that is in the fruit salad is:
2 small cans of tangerines
1 regular size can of sliced pineapples
1 tub of sour cream
4 cups of small (different coloured) mashmellows
As you are draining the cans you can mix up the sour cream with the mashmellows. Once the mashmellows have been well mixed you can add the tangerines & the sliced up pineapples. Once the tanagarines & pineapples are well mixed in. Then you can put it in the fridge.
This is an easy receipe to follow. So enjoy.

This is a yummy dessert and you will not believe that it is very low in sugar and fat.
Enjoy!!

trifles are always good because angel food is low in fat, you could use fat free/sugar free pudding and fresh fruit and they are always a hit at parties because of how beautiful they look. Try angel food cake with fat free white chocolate pudding, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries with either home made angel food or a stop & shop special.
Serve fresh fruit desserts, strawberry shortcakes, melon cups, fresh fruit ice cream freezes.
My sister makes an awesome low calorie/low fat chocolate mousse. She makes a package of instant sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding with skim milk and then folds it together with fat free cool whip. Its super good by itself or you can put it in a pre-made graham cracker crust and have pie!
