Very delicious and quick to make, low calorie and a great grab and go dessert or afternoon snack for your sweet tooth. Its so hard to find a dessert that you can enjoy and indulge in without having that guilt of it being to high calorie.

Gooey and creamy textured desert on a platform of its own, comparable to nothing that I can put my finger on. Really delicious especially for chocolate lovers.

A dense cake with a sugar cookie crust and a cookie butter filling, The best way I can describe it is like a white brownie.

This recipe has only 3 ingredients and only 2 steps to making it. Mix and refrigerate, thats all. But oh boy am I not kidding about how spectacular this dessert really is. A must try... If you have never tasted the amazingness of cookie butter before, then you are missing out on the finer things in life.

Also known as Manjar de coco com calda de ameixa this desert is used a lot in the portuguese cuisine and is absolutely amazing and compares to the Brazilian Pudim de Leite or Flan. The consistency is just about the same but its made with condensed milk and coconut milk and has a soft creamy firm texture and is served with a sweetened jam like prune sauce drizzled on top.

For those of you who do Weight watchers or know someone, who does it. You will know that you crave for something sweet but its difficult to find a desert that is low point or low calorie for you to enjoy guilt free. So here I've created an apple crisp for merely 3 points that is really good and will fill in that sweet tooth that you have. Feel free to indulge. Very low calorie.

Heres a great snack idea. Simply a banana cut in half with peanut butter spread on top, honey drizzled on top and then sprinkled with granola, nuts and raisins/cranberries. An excellent light yet delicious snack thats extremely nutritious and very filling. Better than grabbing bread, a candy bar, chips, cookies or anything else unhealthy.

Very healthy, full of protein and great as a snack or light dinner.
