wonton strawberry pie - 2.5 points




These come out a little better (crunchier) if you use olive oil, but they come out good with the spray as well, and the points are halved. If you have the points to spare, try it both ways.. 


2 servings (4 pies each) - 2.5 points



16 wontons - 3 points
2 one second sprays Pam (butter or olive oil) - 1 point
10 fresh strawberries (sliced) - 0 points
1/2 tsp sugar - 0 points
1/2 tsp brown sugar - 0 points
2 shakes cinnamon (to your taste) - 0 points
2 tbsp flour - 1 point




Heat oven to 400.

Lay out wonton wrappers and spray to coat with Pam. Fill each muffin cup with two wontons, Pam side down, overlapping so that as much of the sides are filled as possible. Lightly moisten inside of wontons with wet finger. Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sugar. Slice strawberries and stir into flour mix to coat. Fill wontons with strawberries and top with any remaining flour mixture. Fold edges of wonton wrapper over strawberries to hold the filling better.

Bake wontons for 7-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Low fat, low calorie, Scrumptiously surprising brownies - 3 points

This is a fantastic and low point version of brownies. You might want to use water or fruit juice instead of coffee though, because I heard that coffee might not be conducive to weight loss.




Ingredients
1 package brownies - 3 points per 1/16th
1 small can black beans - 0
1 small coffee (black) - 0
1 second spray Pam - 0

This is really easy. Open the can of beans. Rinse very well. Keep the beans in the can, and fill with coffee until full. (I used cold coffee, but I'm sure hot would be okay too). Pour coffee and beans in blender and blend on high until all the beans are liquified. I just started my blender and let it run for 3 minutes or so while I got out the pans and started the oven, etc...
Pour mix in a bowl and when beans are liquified, add them to mixture. I sprayed the pan with Pam, just in case.
Bake according to box.

I was toying with a recipe I heard about and came up with this mocha variation. These brownies are 3 point per serving (1/16th of the pan) (points vary by mix) and you will be shocked at how good they are. I love raw brownie mix, and in the interest of those who love that too, I actually tried the raw mix, and it tasted just like regular brownies. My husband couldn't even tell the difference. When cooked, the texture was a little denser than fluffy brownies. They are kind of fudgy, but closer to cake brownies.

Berry crumble - 5 points plus

 19 points - 4 servings = 5 points per serving

4 cups Frozen or fresh berries - 0 points 
1/2 cup flour - 6 points
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (not packed) - 7 points
2 tbsp butter - 6 points




Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Defrost berries, if frozen. Place in casserole dish or something similar. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and soft butter with a fork until crumbly. Toss crumbles evenly over the top of the berries.
Cook for 35-40 minutes or until top is brown.
This is delicious alone, but you could serve with FF cool whip. Just be sure to calculate the points for it. This is also great for non-dieters.

Bavarian Berries and Cream - 2 points


I have to have a dessert now and then, and this one is a good dessert for when you want something fancy.

8 servings - 2 points per serving

Ingredients
1 Bavarian Sponge Cake - 16 points
1 bag mixed frozen fruits - 0 points
1 banana - 0 points
1 cup fat free pudding - 0 points 
4 Tsp fat free whipped cream - 1 point

Thaw frozen fruit in microwave or refrigerator. Brush fruit juice on cake to moisten. (You can use a liquor, but this will add points.) Cover with pudding. Cut banana into slices. place banana slices around the outside of the cake. Fill center with berries. Cut into 8 slices. Scoop whipped cream on each of the 8 slices and serve.

To get fancier, you could cut the sponge cake in half and fill with more fruit, then use a frosting tube to spread the whipped cream in prettier ways. I'm a bit simpler, so...
