Tastes like Tiramisu minus the fat!

I absolutely love the taste of tiramisu cream, but I'm not a big fan of coffee. So, I experimented with a few different things until I found a flavor that I did like in it. Now I've changed the recipe to reduce the calorie content.

Light, Crunchy and Wonderful with Coffee

A crisp Italian cookie

Much better for you than traditional tiramisu. Must be made at least 2 hours ahead of time.

This sorbet recipe is a great low calorie dessert for your summer festivities! The perfect ending to any backyard BBQ!

Usually if a dessert does not have chocolate in one way or another I am not attracted to it. These lemon bars are a lovely exception.

A yummy, light and guilt free desert (and you get some of your daily servings of fruit, too!)

A Variation on Almond Biscotti

My mom used to make pies of this custard for all the holidays, so it's my ultimate comfort food. Without the pie shell, it's so easy (not to mention completely gluten-free), that I now make it whenever I have extra ricotta and want a dessert.

I developed this lower fat version of my favourite moist lemon polenta cake which uses fat free yogurt instead of butter! Less than 200 cals and 1g of saturated fat per generous slice. It is also naturally gluten free.

With only three ingredients this recipe is easy to make and is a great way to use up summer peaches. It can also be made with frozen peaches if fresh are out of season.

An easy and healthier way to satisfy a tiramisu craving

This recipe is a Christmas Must for my family (and my colleagues!). It is really easy to prepare so teach your kids how to make it.

Delicious, low fat and light... perfect for casual dinners and when company comes over.

I love cannoli but with the calorie content this is a great alternative and just as delicious. What you want to do is use the packaged mini phyllo dough shells instead of the sheets

Traditional plain biscotti, without any add-ins. A crisp thin cookie, goes very well with coffee and can be dipped in chocolate, or made with dried fruit and nuts.

A version of tiramisu that's delicious, sinful, and not entirely like its ancestor.

This is a kind of cookie, made og egg whites and diet sugar. Ideal for tea, coffee or even as dessert!

A blender full of frozen delight for only 79.6 calories per blenderfull!!!

A decadent bar-cookie style of dessert with Nutella and cherries. Excellent way to introduce (or indulge!) yourself with the miracle that is Nutella!
