Default low cal desserts

Here are two of my own low cal desserts. They are also sugar free and
fat free:

PUDDING: buy the Jello brand instant pudding that is fat free and
sugar free. There is 100 calories in the entire package which serves 4
they say. My fav. flavors are butterscotch and vanilla. You need a cup
of nonfat milk and a half of an envelope of knox gelatin plain. You
also need 5 Splenda packets. Dir: place the pudding mix and Splenda in
a mixing bowl. Have ready the gelatin dissolved in a quarter cup of
hot water. Add more cold water to this to make 1 and a half cups of
water. Pour the cup of milk into the pudding mixture and splenda then
instantly add the cup and a half of water with disolved gelatin. Stir
with a wire wisk about 30 sec. and empty into bowls. I make only 2
bowlfuls with this mix. Refrigerate 3 hours (for the gelatin to work
its magic). To recap what you have done is extended the pudding mix
and milk with water and Splenda (since the dir. on the box call for
adding two cups of milk and no water or Splenda), so that you get two
large servings of pudding (an extra half cup of pudding at many fewer
calories) at 100 cals...40 for the milk, 50 for the pudding and 10 for
the gelatin.

MERINGUES: Use 9 egg whites...no yolk. Beat in 20 Splenda packets and
a splash of vanilla. Mix with a high speed mixer for about 5 min, and
use a spatula to place onto parchment paper over a cookie sheet. Bake
at 300F. for 10 min. then turn off the oven and let it bake another 15
min. until the tops are light golden brown. It makes 6 large meringues
with a total of about 150 calories for all 6. Egg white is loaded with
protein (3 gms per egg) and is fat free. This recipe also makes it
sugar free. dkw
