Answer 2

I've served this to guests as well as my family many, many times. My daughter asks me to make them often. Sometimes we even have them for breakfast!

Poached Pears with Raspberry Sauce

4 ripe, but firm pears
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 whole vanilla bean
2 cinnamon sticks
8 whole cloves

1 10-oz package frozen raspberries, thawed
sugar to taste

In a large saucepan place enough water to cover the pears, the lemon slices, vanilla bean, cinnamon sticks and whole cloves. Bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the pears, leaving them whole and the stem attached if possible. Using a melon baller, scoop out the seeds from the bottom of the pear. Cut a small slice off the bottom of the pear to help it stand upright if needed.
Add the pears to the simmering liquid. Simmer gently until the pears are tender about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pears and stand them upright. Let cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, several hours or up to 1 day.
For sauce:
Drain thawed rasberries. Place rasberries in a fine meshed sieve and push the raspberries through the sieve with the back of a spoon, catching the puree in a small bowl, until just seeds remain. Discard seeds. Add sugar (or Equal) to taste to the raspberry sauce, stirring well.
To serve, place a pear on a plate or small bowl. Drizzle with raspberry sauce.

There are a lot of things you can do with fruit for a healthier desert. Smoothies are always good and you can make those with ice or a non-fat frozen yogurt. It's a lot of fun to dip cut fruit into yogurt or something. Check the two links I'm giving below. I'm certain you can find something there.

Answer 5

what about light flat cookies, you cover the bottom of a with them, pour fat free milk on the cookies until they get soaked, then you cover then with diet pudding (made as the box says, with fat free milk) you take to the fridge and let it get hard, then you add diet jello on the top and take back to fridge.
My favorite is coconut pudding and strawberry jelly. It is yummy and totally fat and sugar free!!!
