Life's too short to skip dessert. But that doesn't mean they should contain ingredients to make it even shorter. Choose desserts that are sinfully good for you. By eating these desserts, you'll prolong your life -- long enough to savor many more!
1. Angel Food Cake with Grand Marnier Strawberries
This is a wonderful, practically fat-free dessert that contains significant amounts of vitamin C. It's colorful, flavorful, and can be adapted to the seasons. When strawberries are no longer available, try raspberries or sliced fresh apricots. Change the liquor to suit the fruit or your preference. You can purchase fat free angel food cakes in the bakery section of your local grocery store.
2. Fruit Kebobs with Non-fat Sour Cream Dipping Sauce
Cut your favorite fresh fruit into chunks. Try melon, strawberries, papaya, pineapple, grapes. Thread onto wooden skewers. Serve with nonfat sour cream mixed with a little brown sugar, maple syrup or honey. Decorate the serving plate with sprigs of fresh mint. Adapt to winter by skewering fresh apples, pears, and dried fruit such as dates. Serve with nonfat sour cream, lightly sweetened with cinnamon sugar. To keep fruit from browning, soak briefly in water in which a capsule of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has been dissolved.
