Summary: Now I can have my cake and eat it too!
Review: Great recipes, great taste, great nutrition. Who would have ever thought Id be calling dessert the healthiest course of my meal. Since I'm a chocolate lover, I was immediately drawn to the Chocolate Malt Pie. Yummy. I highly recommend this book if you want to add healthy desserts to your menu!

Summary: Now I can include dessert with every meal!
Review: How can desserts be so wonderful and so good for my family too! I love Karen's delicious, yet nutritious recipes. The Tropical Cake is so good and the Blueberries and Cream Cake is to die for. Next I'm going to try the Caramel Applesauce Pie. Desserts have never been so good in our household...thanks Karen!

Summary: Surprisingly tasty low-fat, low-cal recipes
Review: Well, I have to admit that I was skeptical about low-fat, low-cholesterol, reduced calorie dessert recipes tasting even remotely like dessert. I was glad to be proven wrong with this delightful book. The desserts are still calorie packed with most of them still having 300+ calories per serving. However, this is still typically about a third less calories than the same dessert prepared using a traditional recipe. Each one of the desserts has significantly less fat (often one third or less), has almost completely eliminated the cholesterol, and has added nutrients and minerals. I have always equated less fat with less taste simply because that has been my experience, now I can say that less fat can still mean delicious.Some of the recipes that I really liked included Amaretto Cheesecake Brownies, Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars, Hazelnut Fudge Cake, Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, and Maple Nut Fudge. If you are looking for a better alternative to satisfy your sweet tooth or just a healthier dessert you can't go wrong with this book. "Power Desserts" is a highly recommended purchase for anyone looking to better their health and still satisfy their sweet tooth.
