I have replaced most of my standard go to desserts with lactose free vanilla yogurt that I put Salba Chia seeds into and let sit over night. The addition of berries and nuts makes it like fruit and cream.

herbyMarch 25, 2014

For me it has to be Pavlova! And a close second would be orange scented creme caramel.

rahiscockMarch 29, 2014

Baked fruit is my healthy go-to dessert - I grab whatever is floating around my kitchen and needs using up (either apples, plums, nectarines or pears), cut in half, and sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey, and bake for 15 minutes - serve with low-fat vanilla yoghurt. Or, a another twist on the ever-popular strawberries & balsamic vinegar combo, is to warm the balsamic-marinated strawberries ever so slightly, and stir through fresh mint leaves. Serve with ice-cream. Heaven!

JoBillsMarch 20, 2014

Sliced blood orange sprinkled with orange flower water. Or Passionfruit pavlova.

stardust4300March 22, 2014

I use 1/3 less fat cream cheese and fat free sour cream with splenda to make a cheese tartlette that's what I call it. It is close to a cheesecake. I love DARK CHOCOLATE. So I always have that on hand when I am having a real sugar craving and a little piece of that helps but when you want something baked it is hard to think of anything else so I would love to know about this cookbook.

A nice granita is always delicious.

I make my own fruit sorbets. I sometimes lighten up rich desserts like cheesecake with half neufchatel or by adding zero fat yogurt to loaf cakes.

Vanilla fat free yogurt with frozen blue berries and some crunchy granola on top. Tastes like ice cream.

paulabucharlesMarch 30, 2014

Naturally sweetened mango basil sorbet. No sugar added. Just make sure to use a ripe, sweet mango. I usually freeze all the flesh and have it all portioned ready to go whenever I feel like having a refreshing light dessert. In a blender, I just blend the frozen fruit with a little water and fresh basil leaves. Done!

I think I avoid desserts because they always make me feel like a slug. If you can make me a carrot cake that won't expand my butt, then you are my friend.

BeckiemasMarch 29, 2014

Tempted to say fresh fruit... But actually I love having a small serving, infrequently, of a very rich dessert. Sweet things I am trying to get out of my daily life so that they are genuinely a treat. If it's not regular, and not a total gorge session, there's nothing wrong with being rich and indulgent - I think!

Greek yoghurt with honey from my own bees, fresh plums, peaches, grapes, figs or berries in season, picked fully ripe from my orchard. Supermarket fruit is horrible in comparison!

Apple and rhubarb crumble with half the sugar in the topping and extra flaked almonds for crunch and taste.

gunungMarch 29, 2014

I like crisp refreshing melon sorbets, in summer when the melons are so sweet and delicious. Make two, one with honeydew and the other with cantaloupe (I'm not sure what you call these in the US, they're the orange coloured ones) and then put a scoop of each in a cocktail glass and garnish with those pretty little blue flowers that restaurants use.
I don't want to win this book for myself, I want it for a single mother friend who has just blogged about borrowing it from the library and can't afford to buy it. She says she wants to cook almost every single recipe in it!
