Dessert Recipes (Most Popular)
For those like me who have an insatiable sweet tooth, dieting can be the worse. i found myself dying for something dessertish that wouldn't totally blow the diet. I am on a low carb, low fat diet, and most low fat desserts were loaded with carbs, and vice versa. I came up with this fudgy, chocolatey cake that I don't feel too guilty about. It's about 150 calories, 4g total fat (.8 Saturated), 6.2 g protein and 25.6 g carbs per serving. I haven't yet tried using all soy flour, but if it worked (it may not hold together, but only way to know is try) it would greatly reduce the carb count and up the protein count. Also, I played around with using artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. The Splenda Baking Blend made very little difference in nutrition info. Using Truvia (which i have never used) would really bring sugar, fat, and carb count down, but I have not yet tried it to see how it would taste. If anyone does, let me know. Enjoy!
These are amazing, and really taste like you're splurging! They're a great alternative to those who love a good peanut butter cup, but don't want to waste the calories. A yummy treat, even if you don't freeze them!

Checking the calories. Still a lot of calories.
Had extra pumpkin and ricotta so thought I would throw this together to see what it would taste like.
This is a great way to enjoy holiday dessert without all the calories and carbs.
This is just something I put together with ingredients that I had on hand and wanted to try to do it up light.
