I can't make desserts to save my life...I can cook up a storm but when it comes to baking I suck! I suggest cheating and go to a bakery and check out the selection...not the bakery in a grocery store though...somewhere small and family run.

Canollis (sp?) are fun, especially the chocolate chip ones...You could also make chocolate chip cookies (every guy loves warm chocolate chip cookies, you could substitute the cc for chopped truffles or really good chocolate).

Okay.. please don't think I'm crazy.. but you could *totally* make a dessert that you could enjoy as well using the FAGE yogurt.. (shoot, I need stock in that company!)...

I don't know about the quantities.. probably 2- 17oz containers of the plain 2% .. one whole box of sugar free jello mix in your favorite flavor.. I did cheesecake today..
Splenda to taste, small amount of skim milk to help blend everything, and I added a touch of DaVinci Sugar free White Chocolate syrup..

I mix it all in a bowl till well blended - note.. the jello mix sets up quick, since it's instant jello.. so I make sure that I have everything else in the bowl first before I dump it in, and mix well with a rubber spatula.

This gets VERY thick, and could easily be poured into a graham cracker pie crust, then chilled.. topped with SF cool whip when serving.. he would NEVER know it was healthy for him. If you made a pudding flavor that is chocolate friendly, you could add chocolate shavings on the top for a bit of a fancy look.

I made this basic idea for a dessert for my fiancé , Geof this weekend, using banana creme and he really liked it (minus the crust, as he's also diabetic)..

It would *totally* work and not too expensive.. not time consuming or difficult either. If I were you I would experiment a day or so ahead of time to get the right consistency.. and the good thing is.. it is so WLS friendly that you can be your own guinea pig!
