Michelle My Bell Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I am in charge of desserts this year so I need some recommendations. Here is what I need: Cheesecake: I found one that looks pretty good but I am open to more ideas. Lowfat: My mom is having issues with her gallbladder so she can't have anything with a lot of fat in it. I have no idea what to make for this one. Chocolate: You always need to balance it all with chocolate. :) I don't want brownies or cookies however. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureMoms Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 What about a fruit tart for the low fat? The fruit and glaze probably have no fat, so you end up with just the fat in the crust. A fruity parfait using low-fat ice cream or yogurt could work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureMoms Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Cake with chocolate boiled frosting is my first choice for chocolate. Or fudge. Fudge is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 For low fat I would probably do angel food cake with sliced sugared (or not) strawberries, you could top it with fat free cool whip (although I personally prefer real whipped cream). For chocolate we love Julie in Ca flourless chocolate cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Oh my this all sounds so good. If you have links with recipes I would be so grateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 chocolate cream pie?? Honestly, my favorite is the frozen french silk pie in the grocery store :) fruit comes to mind for low fat. How about a big bowl of strawberries and angel food cake? How about this one instead of cheesecake: http://southernfood..../r/bl30519l.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraha Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 This is an awesome, easy cheesecake dessert I made for Palm Sunday dinner, the family reunion, pretty much everything. If you don't want it very coffee flavored, just use regular brewed coffee and it will be slightly coffee flavored. I think it is best as the recipe says though. http://www.kraftcanada.com/en/recipes/tiramisu-cheesecake-90349.aspx What about a jello with fruit in it for low fat? Chocolate chip cookie sandwhiches?

gardenmom5 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 well - we have a killer chocolate cheesecake recipe. or a chocolate mousse cake. as for low fat, some kind of topping on meringues? (you bake the meringue until it is dried out. then leave it in the oven overnight so it is really dried out. put the topping on right before serving. we use a mock Devon crème, but that might have too much fat.)

6packofun Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Cheesecake Lemon Bars are a hit here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cheesecake-Lemon-Bars/Detail.aspx Be sure to allow them to chill a few hours before cutting. So good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 A fruit crisp would be low fat. I've done apple cranberry for christmas, but you could do peach or berry for easter. I have even used frozen fruit. I toss with a little bit of sugar, and then top with a crumble made of oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a bit of butter. But it is mostly fruit, so low fat. I've also done small sponge cakes or angle food cake slices topped with a fruit mixture and a bit of a glaze....I did one that was strawberries and mandarin oranges, mixed with a bit of honey. I put those on the cake slice and then drizzled over a glaze I'd made from orange juice and sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 A guy I dated in college's mother used to make Apple of Your Eye Cheesecake. It was really, really good and I don't even like apples. Fudge Pie for your chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
