Creamy pudding makes fantastic frozen treats.

This is a delicious, light, refreshing dessert. It's low cal and sugar and can be made with the lite pie filling in any flavor. Note that this needs to be made the night before to soften the graham crackers.

Bake these over the weekend, and enjoy throughout the week for breakfast or a snack.

Instant coffee in the batter intensifies the chocolate flavor. Beating the sugar and eggs together gives the baked brownies a crackly surface.

For a snack or dessert, they're good!

at 305 calories this is a super rich dessert. But you only need a small piece to get that chocolate fix. Make it with your favorite icecream filling. Lighten it up with low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt, half-in half, and sugar free brownie mix. Or go for the full calorie version here - but invite a lot of friends. The leftovers are too tempting!

Everyone loves this cake. I make it healthier by cutting the fat with applesauce. I personally do not like to use the artificial sugars; but you could further reduce calories that way.
Also, the original recipe calls for just a half a cup of chocolate chips; but I did the nutritional info for a whole cup sprinkled over the top.
