Thread: A delectible array of dessert

Someone just sent these to me.. And what made me happy was they are all stuff I can make, alter and EAT!

Watching the measurements, of course...

They seem interesting anyway, havent tried any of it yet, but my cousin SWEARS by 'em.

Good luCk!

Fluffy Protein Pancakes

1. Combine the following in a blender or small food processor and process until smooth:

- oats (4/5 C.)
- egg whites (2 large)
- protein powder (1/2 scoop)

- dash of cinnamon (optional)

Makes 2 pancakes:
For ingredients above, nutritional info for me:
P = 35
C = 24
F = 12
Cals = 367

Almost Ice Cream

-creamed cottage cheese (1.3 C.)
-frozen berries/peaches/apples, etc (6?)
-splenda (optional)

Mix the creamed cottage cheese, frozen fruit, and sweetener (to taste) in your blender, and blend until creamy.

If you use nonfrozen fruit, you will have to freeze before eating.

P = 35
C = 13
F = 12
Cals = 304

-Fabulous Cheesecake

- baked sweet potato (1 left over)
- cottage cheese (1/2 C.)
- cinnamon (optional)
- splenda or other no calorie sweetener (optional)
- apple pie spice (optional)
- pinch ginger (optional)

Blend together on high (w/ a hand blender)
Eat, or chill and then eat! This tastes exactly like cheesecake.
I suppose you could also substitute canned pumpkin (squash) for the sweet potato as long as it’s just pumkin and not the pie filling. Also if you can afford the extra carbs (i can’t) you could add raisins.

P = 14
C = 17
F = 5
Cals = 170

Flourless Chocolate Cake

- dried unsweetened fruit - berries/peaches/apples? (6-7 or 4 oz)
- cold water (1/2 C.)
- boiling water (1/2 C.)
- egg whites only, do not combine eggs (8 large)
- Choco. protein powder (1.5 C.)
- oats (1 C. )
- sweetener (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 * Combine the dried fruit and the cold water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. (Sometimes the water will boil out of the pan, stop simmering if this happens) Remove from the heat and pour into a blender. Add the boiling water and puree until smooth. Combine the puree, 2 of the egg whites, the powder (and sweetener) in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together well, add the oats and mix with a wooden spoon. Using an electric mixer, preferably the heavy stationary type, beat the 6 remaining egg whites at medium speed until they form stiff dry peaks. Add a third of the beaten egg whites to the fruit/cocoa mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites. Fold gently with a slotted spoon until completely incorporated. using a nonstick pan, slowly pour in the batter, shaking the pan gently to even the top. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the cake is frim to the touch in the center and the sides begin to pull away from the pan. Remove from oven, place on a cooling rack. The cake will shrink some as it cools.

P = 74
C = 83
F = 6
Cals = 696

** OF course, thats for the WHOLE cake..
Split it in six slices.

1 slice:

P = 12
C = 13
