"Man-friendly" desserts....?

Question

What desserts can I make for a group of guy friends that they wont be afraid to admit they like or for a special guy who is still new and I dont want to promise him anything I don't intend on delivering....**hint hint**

p.s; I'm a teetotaller and I'm trying to eat more healthy so less sugar, oils/fats, additives, etc

Answer 1

At first I'd say Creme Burlie, cause you get to use a BLOWTORCH!, but eggs, cream, sugar whipped together then topped with more sugar then caramelized, isn't the most healthy dessert.

I'd say you would want to do a fondue with chocolate and fruits. Chocolate has healthy benefits and the fruits are good sugars. All the men can sit around the fire with the melting pot of chocolate with their sticks and spears has the hunt for tasty dessert.

Have Fun.

Answer 2

I'm wondering if you are really trying to indulge your man-friends or if you're also wanting to indulge in your sweet tooth! Man-friendly desserts aren't necessarily made with less fat, sugar, etc. Since they should be indulged in only sporadically, you might want to consider living it up for an evening! Here are some ideas:

1. Cinnamon Crunch Streusal cake (take a yellow cake mix and make according to the package directions. Add 1 tsp vanilla to the mix. Place half of the batter in your baking dish and top with a mixture of ground pecans, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Top with the rest of the batter and sprinkle with additional pecan topping. Bake according to directions)
2. Baked apple crisp with vanilla frozen yogurt.
3. Chocolate ricotta cheesecake with a raspberry sauce and creme fraiche.
4. Chocolate fudge brownies with caramel sauce and vanilla frozen yogurt.
5. Lemon Meringue Pie
6. Fresh strawberry trifle

Brownies...all men love brownies.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg or 2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or prune puree
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup fat-free milk
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonfat cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl, lightly beat egg if using, or place egg whites in bowl.

Add vanilla, applesauce, sour cream and milk. Whisk until well blended. Add dry ingredients and mix until just moist.
Empty batter into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. The center should still be slightly soft. Cool in pan for a few minutes and continue to cool on a wire rack.

Oh, I've got this .....Cherry Cream Cheese pie!!! Every time I make these for a party everyone grabs it up before it's gone. I make them with splenda istead of sugar and you can buy low fat cream cheese. You should be able to find a recipe for this easily. You can't go wrong with this one! If cherries aren't your thing, alternate with your favorite fruit. Though, I recommend the cherries. Yum, now I want one. Good luck~

Answer 5

You could do a plate of "bad" stuff- cookies, brownies, etc, and a plate of "good" stuff- sliced apples, grapes, melon balls, strawberries, kiwi fruit, etc. if you want to, you could even put chocolate and caramel sauce dips on the fruit plate. This way, guys won't feel like they are eating some kind of fancy pants dessert, and you can stay healthy!
