i've heard frozen grapes are really good...
Is an hour too long? How about rice pudding? I usually have all the ingredients, so I make it when I have that desperate need for sugar.
1qt milk
1/2c uncooked rice
1/2 sugar
1 egg
1t vanilla extract
raisins (optional)
Bring milk to boil, add sugar and rice. Turn heat to low. Add 1/2c of the hot milk to the egg (while beating) to prevent it from curdling, then add that mixture to the pot. Simmer on low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in vanilla and raisins, if you're using them. Pour into a quart size container (it will thicken as it cools).
Oh I love rice pudding! and bread pudding as well.
I do bread pudding with whole grain wheat bread, soy or skim milk and lots of cinnamon and spices. It's practically health food!
Oooh, please share !Quote:

1/2 cup (1/2 of 8-oz. tub) Light Cream Cheese Spread
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 large egg whites
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1-3/4 cups fat-free milk
6 cups cubed whole wheat bread (6 to 8 slices)
2 squares Semi-Sweet Chocolate, coarsely chopped
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese spread and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add egg whites and cinnamon; mix well. Gradually add milk, mixing until well blended.
PLACE bread cubes in 8-inch square glass baking dish. Sprinkle chocolate over bread. Pour cream cheese spread mixture over bread mixture in dish.
BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until set in center. Cool slightly; serve warm. Store leftover pudding in refrigerator.
ooohhhh...
THAT sounds NUMMY!!!!
Thanks, I think!:p
This is my favorite! So scrumptious and satisfies my sweet tooth!
½ c. Plain Greek Yogurt (full fat version!)
1 t. organic dark chocolate chips
3-4 walnut halves crushed
Drizzle of honey
Your welcome Jes, I think :p. I got the recipe from coolwhip.com. It is in the Healthy Living recipes. I'm seriously debating on making some very soon. I've never made rice pudding. I might mess that up.
COOLWHIP has Healthy Living recipes?? That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one.Quote:

Tons of fresh fruit.
So that forces me to have real dessert only when I step outside of home.
The local raspberries are lush and plentiful right now.
Here's one of my favorite recipes for apples. I love apples, but sometimes I buy too many and they aren't as crisp as I would like to eat them as-is. This is great for dessert or breakfast (or dinner, even).
It's called clafoutis, and you can also make it with cherries (or peaches, I would think). It's from Normandy.
Note, I don't use measurements here, I just do it on the fly. Sorry if you need measurements...
ingredients:
apples
flour
milk (soy milk is good, too)
eggs
salt
butter
sugar
cinnamon
vanilla extract
1. cut and peel the apples
2. saute apples in skillet (cast iron is good, because it'll need to go in the oven) with a little butter and cinnamon until tender
3. meanwhile, make the batter: eggs, milk, flour, a pinch of sugar, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt. The batter should be a little thicker than heavy cream.
4. when the apples have finished sauteing, pour the batter over them and put the skillet in a pre-heated oven (I've found 375 to be good, but see what works for you)
5. bake it until puffy and golden on top.
6. Serve with yogurt, maple syrup, or just plain.
great for breakfast the next day, too.
peanut butter. semi-sweet chocolate chips. whatever cereal we have around.
mix all into a bowl, pop in the microwave and voila! creamy choco peanut butter crunch goodness. mmmm.... :)
Breyers Sugar Free ice cream topped with cut up chunks of organic dark chocolate and fresh berries. Refreshing, delicious and heart healthy.
Crepes filled with vanilla yogurt and fresh blueberries. :)
