First, you can make a version of Bananas Foster that has fewer calories than the real version. Basically, just microwaving a banana for about 30 seconds with a sprinkle of cinnamon and the slightest bit of syrup tastes delicious. I also indulge in a touch of low-fat or low-calorie whipped cream. Some people measure calories down to the tenths but if it's less than 30 I won't stress about it. It's delicious and feels like you're cheating.
The second dessert I like is a fake Sweet Potato Pie that tastes like pumpkin pie. Cut up a sweet potato and boil it until it's very soft. Mash the potatoes with a touch of rice/soy/coconut milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a packet of stevia sweetener. Put it into single serve dishes and then bake it before serving for about 45 minutes. This makes the sweet potatoes really creamy and blends the spices together well. A touch of whipped cream on this one doesn't undo all of the health benefits of the sweet potato. Enjoy!
