Sinful. Decadent. Tantalizing. Now the forbidden pleasures of rich desserts can be all yours . . . without the guilt! Here are 75 spectacular desserts, all suspiciously low in fat and calories. We're not talking about fat-free mystery concoctions riddled with tasteless substitutions. Sweet Deceptions bridges the previously unbridgeable gap between zero pleasure and full-blown indulgence-without sacrificing real eggs, chocolate, sugar, and all the other bad stuff you gotta love. Here are miraculously lower-fat versions of traditional favorites like Tiramis? (only 9 grams of fat vs. the usual 29), Chocolate Chip Cookies (2 grams vs. 7), and dozens more, including: Classic Cheesecake Caramel Turtle Brownies Coconut Raspberry Macaroons Sierra Mud Slide Pie Fresh Berry and Citrus Cream Cheese Tart Creme Brulee Lemon Ginger Mousse Death by Chocolate! About the Author Chef Patty Neeley knows how to make dessert totally irresistible. Luckily, she also knows how to tread lightly through a jungle of cream, butter, and chocolate-and still get fabulous results. At last, a slice of paradise that won't destroy your health regime!

Great selection made with common ingredients.

I like these recipes because they are easy to make and use common ingredients that you may already have on hand. A nice variety of desserts is featured so you can have something for any occasion.
