Meringues
What greater pleasure than a mouth-watering dessert that isn't so laden with calories that you cringe when you climb on the scale the next day? Let luscious spring fruit like strawberries, rhubarb and pineapple be your springboard to light desserts.
Tips:
Start with a base that is inherently low fat, like meringues or angel cake or fruit salad or sorbet.
You can just about put anything you want in meringue, just because they're so neutral in flavor -espresso, chopped orange zest, ginger, cinnamon. You can also put cocoa powder in for that chocolate flavor without the fat.
Use fruit as a garnish or a sauce or both. Try preparing fruit in different ways, like poached or sauteed, as well as fresh.
