Desserts

At a dinner party you can cut this into wedges and serve them on little dessert plates. My guests commented on how GREAT it was to be given a small dessert instead of the traditional, large one.

Most often a cheesecake like this has a crust made out of gingersnaps. I’m making mine this way and you’ll swear you’re eating a gingerbread crust without all the sugar.

I hope you will like this recipe as much as we did.

A ghoulish (and healthy) Halloween snack idea.

This gives you a crunchy bottom similar to a graham cracker crust.

Sinfully delicious...with only three ingredients.

The final product must be eaten right out of the freezer. They melt fast but they are a fun treat.

I came up with this recipe as a tribute to Dieter Ron and his wife Jean. This darling couple drove from Wisconsin to Chicago just to meet me and my team.

The parfait is a serious twist on a Cooking Light recipe I came across, so I need to give them credit but I also wanted you to know it's light and rather healthy.

This recipe was contributed by Plan Z dieter Amy from Chicago. Good thinking, Amy! Great idea!

In spring I always get a hankering for rhubarb. My mother used to plant it and I loved picking it in the warm sun. Usually I’d make a rhubarb strawberry crisp but on ZReduction that’s out of the cards. So I had an idea to mix the rhubarb idea with the Canadian idea of a bumbleberry pie.

Raspberry coulis is often used by dessert chefs to decorate your dessert at a restaurant. They put a swirl of it on your plate or maybe drizzle it over the top of the dessert. You can be fancy or plain as you wish.

I adapted this recipe for Plan Z from one of Bobby Flay’s ideas. I love a good grilled peach in the summer. Even if you have a crowd over for a barbecue you can grill up a bunch of these in a jiffy and everyone will enjoy a healthy dessert.

This is light, fluffy and super smooth. For a “fancy” dessert, this one is easy to make. Just take your time and follow the directions. You’ll need a few pieces of equipment too but nothing super expensive.

If you are a coffee-flavored dessert lover, your dream boat just docked!

This is a VERY old recipe… in fact, this is the FIRST recipe for brownies. Brownies were first invented at The Palmer House Hotel in 1893. So these won’t be like the ones in a box mix.

My version here is perfect for ZReboot 3.5 and ZLife, sweetened with stevia, and you have your options of flour to make the crumbly aspect of it.

I love this sauce over the inside out apple pie. YUM.

Feed this to the kids (and adults) instead of ice cream.

You’ll be amazed! When this comes out of the oven, it smells just like the famous cookie! Use this in any pie that does not need to be baked.
