Apple Bread Pudding
When you first hear the name, Bread Pudding, may not sound too interesting. However, its a really tasty, rich dessert that's hard to turn down once you’ve tried it. Traditional bread puddings contain egg yolks and so a lot of fat; but this recipe relies on the whites and adds apple for extra flavor.
Ingredients
10 Slices of Bread
½ Cup Butter
¼ Cup Applesauce
1 Cup Zero Calorie Sweetener
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Medium Apple, diced
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Directions

Unbelievable Bundt Cake
Bundt cake is a classic Christmas dessert, but it seems that no one's really sure how to make it correctly. The ideal Bundt cake is moist and rich, but not overpowering in sweetness. The richness and moistness in traditional Bundt cakes comes from butter, but this recipe substitutes applesauce instead and uses sugar-free maple syrup as a sweetener.
Ingredients
1 Cup White Pastry Flour
1 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 Eggs
1 Large Apple, chopped
1/3 Cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
15 oz (1 can) Pumpkin OR Sweet Potato Puree
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Ginger
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
Directions

Tie Dye Cheesecake Bars
So groovy man.
Ingredients
9 graham crackers
6 tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 c. sugar
FOR THE CHEESECAKE:
2 8-oz. blocks cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. sour cream
3/4 c. sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
kosher salt
Neon food dye in four colors
Directions
Make crust: In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, blend graham crackers until fine crumbs form, then add to a bowl with butter and sugar and mix until combined. Press tightly into prepared pan.
Make filling: In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined.
Divide mixture between four small bowls (or one bowl for each color you're using) and add a couple drops of food coloring to each bowl. Stir to combine, adjusting color as desired. Add spoonfuls of the dyed cheesecake mixture to graham cracker crust, alternating colors until you’ve used up the whole mixture. Swirl colors together with a knife.
Bake until only slightly jiggly, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until firm, 3 hours, or up to overnight.

Icecream cake
I love icecream, but I'm horrible when it comes to baking. I found the recipe online a few months ago, yesterday I decided to try it for the first time, thought it would be an exciting "experiment", as it's as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Ingredients
190 g flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 dl chopped chocolate of your choice
Directions
2. When the icecream has melted, preheat the oven at 175 degrees.
3. Add the flour and baking powder to the melted icecream, mix thoroughly.
4. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
5. If you do not have a teflon baking pan, it may be good to line the pan with baking paper before placing the dough in it, or use a baking dish.
6. Place the dough in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Prick/test with a skewer or wooden stick to make sure it is not sticky inside.
7. Allow to cool before cutting it.
Notes
Don't make the same mistake as I did and put it in the fridge afterwards without covering it or putting it in a plastic box as this "dries" it out. I used smarties instead of chopped chocolate, they sunk to the bottom of the cake, and the colours all disappeared. All in all it was a good experiment, will definately be making it again, especially if I can find diabetic icecream in the stores again.

Peppermint Fudge
Putting ‘fudge’ and ‘healthy’ together in the same recipe seems unlikely, but it is possible. This recipe uses coconut oil, which is high in fat like other oils, but contains a special kind of fats (MCTs) that help increase the body’s ability to burn fat for energy.
Ingredients
¾ Cup Whipped Butter
3 Tablespoons Zero Calorie Sweetener
2 Tablespoons Peppermint Extract
4 Squares 100% Dark Cacao

Spiced Biscuit Brownies
I am kind of a chocolate addict…I just love the stuff, and one of the recipes I had been trying to perfect, was chocolate brownies. So after several batches (apologies to my colleagues at work for the extra kilos I have made you put on and to my friends, for the great looking photos that make you want chocolate), I finally managed to come up with a fairly fool proof brownie recipe, and with an added twist.
Ingredients
125gr butter, unsalted
150gr dark chocolate
200gr dark brown sugar
70gr self raising flour
20gr raw cocoa powder
4 to 5 spiced biscuits, broken in pieces
Directions
Put a pot on low heat and melt the butter, chocolate and sugar together. Once the butter and chocolate are melted, take off the heat. Add in the sugar bit by bit. Stir the mixture well with a wooden spoon or spatula, to ensure there are no lumps of sugar left.
Leave for approx. 5 – 10 minutes off the heat, so the mixture cools down a bit. This is to ensure your eggs will not “cook” in the heat of the mix, once we add these in one by one and stir again, until you have a smooth mass.
Transfer to a bowl and mix in the flour and cocoa powder, folding these in, in parts.
Poor the mix into the baking tray, and bang it a few times on the counter to level out the mixture, and get rid of any air pockets.
Break the biscuits in small pieces and push them into the dough.
Bake for approx. 25 minutes
