I tried over the weekend taking sliced strawberries, sliced banana's, a little splenda and fat free cool whip you can either mix together or layer. Very Very good low calories type dessert.

My inlaws are both diabetic, and she takes a sugar free pound cake she buys at the store, and cubes it up, and layers it with the same things you mention, and makes a beautiful trifle with it---it always goes over well at church potlucks etc. The only problem is keeping the dessert for those needing sugar free.

I double checked with her, and she said yes she makes it low sugar as you did with the cool whip stuff, or she will make it more sugar free by using SF pudding.

Thanks Kat I will try that sounds very very good. I am always looking for the low calories desserts. That is what my main down fall is.

Be careful. Sugar substitutes raise blood sugar levels just like sugar does, per recent studies. So it will also give you cravings, just like sugar. Such a shame after all the years diabetics were encouraged to use it. It does, though, save the calories!

Another good one is to mix up fat free cream cheese and fat free ricotta with a bit of sweenener, and you have cheese cake!

BetsyJane...is that equal parts of each for the cheesecake recipe? and then do you have to put it in the fridge or just eat it? Sounds nummy and on mushies so that would be GREAT!!

Just something to consider.

Some of us sweetlovers need to say goodbye (for the most part, not completely) to sweets. For SOME of us it is all or none. We can have a few sweets and it does not create hell causing us to want ALL sweets. Some of us can do moderation.

Think about where you are. Can you do sweets here and there and say no to the rest? Or are you an ALL or NONE kinda person?

Just something to consider.

For ME, and ME only, I am all or none. Get something sweet tasting in my big pie hole and I want it ALL. Not everyone is like me, some can try a BITE of sweets and walk away. I can't. One piece of candy leads to another and another and yet another.

I have the same problem. If I need to have something sweet I will get one of those 100 calorie packs and take it in the car and go driving somewhere. I don't return home for at least 30 minutes until the craving passes. Sounds a bit dramatic but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Yeah. I even get the munchies from drinking Protein shakes.

It's equal parts, and a touch of vanilla extract is good in it too. It's better after being refrigerated, but good either way.
