Low Fat Desserts That Make Us Happy
I was so amused the first time I saw the ad that informs you that dessert is stressed spelled backwards, and continue to be every time I have encountered it since. Sure, we live in an ultra high stressed world, but desserts that help you pile on the body fat will definitely not help you de-stress. But, there are tons of superb, delicious desserts that can be made in a skinny version.
One of the best recipes for a lite delight that I have come across is for skinny scones. They are fruit-filled scones that taste buttery and rich just like the clotted-cream version, but are less than half the calories/fat. Low calorie, low fat, and high flavour is always a winning combination in my book.
Two of the items that are used in the recipe that really help to cut down on the fattening stuff, but keep it buttery in flavour are golden caster sugar and low fat crème fraiche. They can be served either cold or warm, and are divine both ways. I found the recipe in the April edition of Zest Magazine.
