Healthy Dessert Recipes for the Holidays???

[kellifromkeller]

Ok I posted another thread like this in the general chat section but only got one reply and tried two of the resipes she gave, but I really don't think My family is going to eat them haha! So what I am looking for are healthy dessert recipes that are reasonably good tasting. I want something that my family of 15 is going to eat, not just me. Any ideas?

Which recipes did you try and how were they?

Please tell me the tofu pumpkin pie is as amazing as I think it's going to be...I've been looking foward to thanksgiving for literally months just to eat that sucker...

Try sweet potato with sugar free whip cream, pumpkin pie spice, splenda or equal. Mix it all together for a fluff. Either eat if like that or put it into a pie crust. I haven't made the pie crust yet but I heard there was one with oats that were ground. I am going to do something like that myself for t-giving.

Also, one of my favorites is sugar free apple pie filling, mixed with lf cottage cheese, cinnamon, equal or splenda, sugar free whip cream, and a little soy milk added in mix together and serve chilled YUMMMO~~

Although you probably should allow yourself some yummy treats on the holidays if you wanted to you CAN just slightly alter lots of recipes to make them healthier.

eg:
- Pumpkin pie with an oatmeal /egg crust and made with low fat cream cheese (or evaporated FF milk), pumpkin and sweetened with a little honey.

- Warm spiced apple pie (granny smith apples + spices + a tiny bit of xanthum gum to thicken) with an oatmeal and walnut crust. Serve with natural vanilla yoghurt (for the health nuts) or some low-fat custard or low fat vanilla ice-cream.

- Spiced molasses cookies (make your own) and use fruit puree, oats, etc.

- Stewed fruit (rhubarb, apples, pears) with vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and served with some sweetened creamed cottage cheese (cream it yourself with a little honey) or some vanilla yoghurt

- Fresh fruit platter with fat-free yoghurt and creamed cottage cheese

- Low fat gingerbread (whole wheat flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, ff buttermilk, molasses, eggs/whites... some smooshed stewed prunes to add moisture)

I did the carrot spice muffins and they were pretty good...
The pumpkin pie was decent... But remember I am not a fan of pumpkin or tofu, haha I just wanted to try it to see if my family would eat it and I don't think they would haha!!! But I am sure you will probably love it!!
