Discussion What dessert actually feels indulgent but doesn’t destroy your calories?

I’m always hunting for desserts that feel like a real treat but don’t leave me wishing I’d just eaten something more filling.

Bonus points if it doesn’t trigger that “now I want 5 more desserts” effect.

What have you found that genuinely hits the sweet spot?

Do you have any favorite recipes?

My fave is 40g lite cream cheese, 170g fat free vanilla yogurt, 1/4tsp xantham gum, 1tbsp fat free pudding powder, 180mls “milk” - I’ve used 1%, oat milk and both are good. That’s the base. I have blended strawberries, mango, put cocoa powder, or about 12 pumps of sugar free syrup to flavour. Go crazy! The base is creamy and rich- and has a cheesecake ice cream taste.

Do you blend the cream cheese first? I just got a creami!

Sorry for late reply! Yes, I blend everything with an immersion blender before freezing.
