recipes for sweets guilt free desserts
TRANSCRIPT
This pudding delivers a velvety rich
custard, ripe banana flavor, vanilla
wafers so soft they melt in your
mouth, and an irresistible golden-
baked meringue topping. All this, and
it's lower in fat and calories than
traditional versions. These make
great individual party desserts, or
make it in an 8-inch square pan. We
love it with extra wafers.
For this healthier version of carrot
cake, we reduced the fat in the batter
by using less vegetable oil and sugar,
yet it is still as moist as traditional
cakes. We also reduced the butter and
used reduced-fat cream cheese for the
frosting, without losing the flavor!
These lemony bars are a great make-
ahead treat. Use fresh orange juice
and zest instead of lemon for a
different flavor profile.
Chocolate Fudge Pie
You won't believe this rich chocolate
pie is lightened. Better yet, it only
requires four ingredients. Garnish the
pie with fresh raspberries.
Cherry Bread Pudding
Cherry Bread Pudding puts a guilt-free
spin on a classic dessert. Tart cherries
can help boost melatonin in the brain to
regulate natural sleep patterns and
ease jet lag. Add some toasted slivered
almonds for a crunchy garnish, if you
wish.
Chocolate-Oatmeal Parfaits
A homemade chocolate pudding is even
more luscious (yet still light) when
layered with oatmeal granola and
whipped topping.
Peach-Rhubarb Crisp
Rhubarb adds fresh, tart flavor to the
crisp, and peaches yield healthy
antioxidants and other phytochemicals
as well as a sweet taste. Serve this dish
warm with low-fat vanilla ice cream,
vanilla yogurt, or low-fat whipped
topping.
Dark Chocolate-Bourbon Tarte
This torte is soufflé-like in texture and
abundant in heart-healthy antioxidants.
Best of all, it cures any chocolate
craving.
Vanilla Ice Milk
Ice milk has the same creamy vanilla
taste as ice cream, but using milk
instead of cream makes it light. This
simple 6-ingredient recipe is the
perfect treat to create in your ice cream
maker without worrying about your
waistline.
Berry Bread Pudding
Indulge in delicious, individually
baked bread pudding with all its
berry flavor—no extra calories
included.
Top the pudding with our Raspberry
Sauce, Whiskey Sauce, or Toasted
Pecan-Caramel Sauce. You can also
try Reduced-Sugar Bread Pudding
with Reduced-Sugar Raspberry
Sauce.
Blueberry-Almond Cobbler
Don’t skip dessert. This crispy
cobbler is chock-full of tasty
super foods—berries, nuts, and
oats. For a tangy treat, serve
with low-fat lemon frozen yogurt.
