There’s a reason I subscribe to Cooking Light magazine: their low fat dessert recipes are the best! They’re always delicious, easy to prepare, and so unique! They refuse to use egg substitutes or apple puree, since those both have a big impact on taste and texture, and instead use low-fat ingredients to make spectacular desserts. If you’re ready to treat your sweet tooth to something decadent, without wrecking your diet, keep reading! Here are 7 of Cooking Light’s low fat dessert recipes. Notice that all of them have fewer than 10 grams of fat per serving. ## 1. Ginger Cake _ **Fat per serving:** 6.1g myrecipes.com_ This recipe makes 12 small-ish pieces, each with only 6.1 grams of fat! It’s delicious served with coffee or plain tea. It’s been one of my favorite low-fat dessert recipes since I first spied it in the November 2007 issue of Cooking light! ## 2. Coconut Crème Caramel with Pineapple Concassé _ **Fat per serving:** 6.9g myrecipes.com_ This recipe appeared in the May 2002 issue of Cooking Light… thank goodness I was able to find it online, right? I love custards and crème brulee, but this is a nice twist, especially for summer! Be aware that this low-fat dessert has to chill for at least four hours before you can serve it, and it takes a little more than an hour to prepare. But it’s so worth it! It’s delicious! ## 3. Cream Cheese Brownies _ **Fat per serving:** 4.2g myrecipes.com_ Any dieter can tell you that one of the things we all miss when we’re watching our calories is a big, warm, chocolate-y brownie. Well, no more! This recipe makes lush, decadent brownies, with less than 5 grams of fat! I usually add a few smashed walnuts to the recipe, which adds about another gram of fat per brownie. ## 4. Double Caramel Turtle Cake _ **Fat per serving:** 8.4g myrecipes.com_ How can anything this scrumptious-looking be so diet-conscious? And yet it is… this rich cake, covered in caramel, is actually one of my favorite low-fat dessert recipes. It takes some time, and some patience, and of course MY cake never looks as good as the one in the photo… but it tastes divine! It’s a really nice grown-up birthday cake, actually. ## 5. Basil Plum Granita _ **Fat per serving:** 0.1g myrecipes.com_ **I know what you’re thinking:** basil and plum and frozen? I know! It sounds strange, doesn’t it, but slightly exotic? I’ll bet the two flavors complement each other beautifully… and while the recipe does call for black plums, I’d play with the recipe a bit to see which variety I like best… ## 6. Bourbon-Glazed Peaches with Yoghurt _ **Fat per serving:** 1.8g myrecipes.com_ What better way to celebrate peach season than with this incredibly rich dessert? The sweetness of the peaches, the tartness of the yoghurt, the rich bourbon flavor… I can’t wait to try this one! I’m just waiting for my friend Michael to bring me the first harvest from his back-yard peach tree. ## 7. Blackberry Jam Cake _ **Fat per serving:** 6.9g myrecipes.com_ Doesn’t this sound sticky and messy and sweet? I love blackberries, and it’s not easy to find a low-fat dessert recipe with them, so I can’t wait to give this one a try, too! I wonder how it would taste with a little mint ice cream, perhaps? With so many scrumptious, tempting low fat desserts to choose from, which will you try first? I can’t wait to try that granita recipe, and it has less than one gram of fat! Or… do you have another amazing low fat dessert recipe to share? Please do… I love trying new desserts!
