Does anyone have any fat free calorie dessert recipes?

Answer 1

I try to not do too much processed snacks, especially when I don't know for sure what's in them. (I have a very good idea as to what is in gelatin, and it scares me. I've also made chocolate pudding with a cheap mix and soy milk. Not fat free soy milk, but low fat and still very yummy.)

In baking, apple sauce can substitute for both eggs and oil. Substitute applesauce for oil and you not only get fat free, but a smidge more fruit. (I've done this with banana bread/muffins. I'v some vegan recipes.)

I bake a chocolate cake in which I sub apple sauce, especially if I think I'm going to be taking home leftovers. I also use whole wheat flour. Gee, how bad can it be-- Fat free, whole wheat?

Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
3 cups flour (680 grams)
2 cups sugar (450 grams)
6 tablespoons cocoa (100 grams)
2 teaspoons baking soda (10 cc's = 10 ml)
1 teaspoon salt (5 cc's = 5 ml)
3/4 cup vegetable oil (200 cc's)
2 tablespoon vinegar (30 cc's)
2 teaspoon vanilla (10 cc's)
2 cup cold water (480 cc's)

Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes two layers of a two-layer 9-inch or 8-inch round cake, or one small sheet cake. When cool, frost it.

Chocolate Frosting/Glaze

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 cup of sugar
1/2 of a teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 of a cup of cocoa powder
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons to 3 tablespoons of vanilla soy milk

Directions:

Mix all ingredients. Use more soymilk for glaze, less for frosting.

For chocolate-mint: add some peppermint extract, you can add less vanilla if you want. Probably 1/8 of a teaspoon, I have never measured, all I know is it is a very small amount, just a couple drops or so.

I got the cake recipe from Veggie Boards (VeggieBoards. Focus Forums, Recipes, Desserts - Cakes); The frosting reciepe from VegWeb, which I found by using a chocolate frosting search on the site.

Answer 2

Don't I wish there were some other than fat-free Jello and fat-free Cool Whip!

Well, there's always fruit... which is much healthier for you than any prepared dessert, and usually sweeter too!

Answer 3

sugar and fat free jello mix and pre made desserts. with the mix you can add in fresh fruit for an added taste or sub, orange juice for cold water.

Answer 4

You could try those sugar free no fat pudding cups by Jello. They're pretty good.
