need help picking/finding a low-cal dessert recipe please!
hi! i'm new to this forum, so i'll try not to break any rules (although i prolly already have, i'm such a rebel)
i am trying to find a recipe or idea for a dessert-type item to make, and not only can i not decide what to do out of what i've found, i've got about 10 other recipes to convert and make a shopping list for in the next 18 hours and i'm just trying to take the easy way out and ask all of y'all your opinions >:D
here's my 'requirements':
-lowcal
-vegan (dur, hehehe)
-involves fruit AND chocolate
-will last for at least two days (w/ or w/out fridge) and portable, so no pudding or 'yogurt' type recipes
i was thinking about something like a mini tart w/ chocolate 'pastry cream' and strawberries/blueberries/raspberries on top, but the lowcal thing is throwing me off. i'm not familiar enough yet with vegan baking to easily determine lowcal status and anyways, the term 'lowcal' is a mystery to fat kids like me whether i be doing nonveg or vegan baking!
any suggestions are quite helpful, and knowing me i'll prolly just make em all! thank you!
these lowfat brownie bites on the ppk involve chocolate, but not fruit (well, they have prunes...). they're portable, and lowcal/low fat.

maybe make a light white cake (with applesauce etc.) and top with fruit? I don't know... but good luck!
Make my cake. It's fat free (well sorta), and you can play around with the sugar if you think it might be too sweet.
