Z2: Desserts

Strawberry Smoosh is my husband's FAVORITE ZReduction dessert. How could I have been so lax? I'm almost ashamed! Here's the recipe for all to enjoy!

For those of you old enough to remember the Jello product that formed 3 layers you’ll know exactly what this tastes like and actually includes REAL raspberries!

To make this dish “patriotic’ all you need to do is add blueberries and you have a red and blue dessert. You don’t need to feel left out of the holiday celebration just because you’re on a diet. Yours will be just as colorful and tasty as anything else being served.

We have to thank Dieter Claire for inventing this recipe. She modified the fruit parfait recipe and developed a strawberry "ice cream" recipe and this recipe with frozen mandarin oranges. She says, “it’s like an orange creamsicle.” YUM!

Dieter Claire invented this recipe by modifying the fruit parfait recipe and adding extra frozen strawberries. She says, "it's as close to ice cream as you can get." We agree.

A delicious sauce to pair with your favorite dessert.

Dieter Margaret offered up a GREAT idea! I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream – and we are on a diet! BONUS!

These are delightful little jellies. They taste so French and so fresh! Not like those little gum-balls you can buy at the candy store.

This simple recipe is the latest from the Zola Test Kitchen. Try these! I got some really juicy tangerines (that were very easy to peel) at the grocery store yesterday.

Raspberry coulis is often used by dessert chefs to decorate your dessert at a restaurant. They put a swirl of it on your plate or maybe drizzle it over the top of the dessert. You can be fancy or plain as you wish.

This is a must try, a wonderfully light and healthy dessert.

I call this “pie” because it tastes like the middle of a peach pie; just no crust. I call it Southern because the Southerners are known for putting cinnamon and nutmeg in their peach pie recipes.

We have never worked with fruit pectin in this diet. Plan Z dieter Amy came up with the idea to try it. Brilliant idea! This opens up a whole new world of opportunity for thickening.

When we were at lunch the other day, Jen mentioned how dieters miss their crunch. She wondered if we could come up with a recipe for apple chips.

Place on dish, sprinkle ¼ tsp of cinnamon over apple slices, and serve.

If you love strawberry pie then this is your Z2 dessert. Just no crust, but maybe you won’t even miss it.
