You can make "ice-cream" by putting frozen bananas in the food processor. Smoothies are also good - a bit of yoghurt and fruit.

I usually prefer having very small portions of very rich desserts when I'm trying to shed the kilos, but that's not everyone's cup of tea I know. :-)

You could use stevia instead of sugar.Fruit salad made with a stevia syrup, rice pudding using stevia and a low fat milk sub.Do you want cold desserts or a hot pudding style one,

Weight watchers jelly - much nicer than standard jelly.

If you don't object to artificial sweeteners, make a Weightwatchers jelly with just one cup of water and then stir in one cup of low fat yoghurt.Pour into tall glasses to set.

Peel a banana, cut in half, put a popsicle stick in the cut end and freeze.Tastes like icecream when it's frozen and is like an icecream on a stick.Before freezing it, you can roll it in lemon juice and chopped nuts too.

I watch what I eat too - and I eat strawberries and cream in the moment - or blueberries with yoghurt last night - I have the odd banana with chocolate sauce - but I guess all this is neither low fat nor low sugar - as it all has some carbs.
What sort of desserts were you thinking about? Maybe something with flour and artificial sweetener would fill your sweet tooth better?

No added sugar: fruit and nut truffles. Whiz together equal amounts of dried fuit (dates, sultanas, apricots or a combination) and any combination of nuts with a handful of rolled oats and a tsp of cocoa if you want a chocolate hit. Roll balls in coconut like truffles. These of course have lots of fruit sugar and are quite high in energy, but are nutritious and I'm sure far better for you than biscuits or ice-cream! Also, one small truffle is enough to fill you up.

Not just a guess....a FACT!And not what the poster asked for.

prendy1 - I am glad you posted: "no added sugar" - as that recipe has so much fructose and glucose plus added carbs from the oats and some carbs from the nuts that it is just a sugar bomb really ... as all the carbs turn into sugar in the body in no time flat once you start chewing ... If you'd use cheese instead of the dried fruit you would have more than halved the sugar spike already.

Hehe - out in form again ellie - let us see some sweet and "Very Low Fat & No Sugar Desserts" desserts then - I can't think of any myself to be honest.

Desserts to me is a sweet of some sort....

and the only thing that one could think of is to stay natural like fresh fruit uncooked with low-fat ice cream, yoghurts.

Some of these imitation sweeteners can be more harmful than the real deal.

Perhaps to cut down on sugars a little would be the first and main start to cut back such items if one needs to...... start training your taste buds to accept lower sugar content in such desserts.

Just like the butter versus margarine, natural versus plastic (minus an item or two).... best to lighten or reduce amount of the butter.

Ultimately, it is better to eat less than to change completely....

Just trying to be helpful.

Cheers.

"To be honest"...why are you here then?Of course, to "educate" the person who asked the question.

I answered the question at post #5.
