There are some great fresh fruit salads you can do in individual wine goblets. Top them with low fat cool whip.

I like www.chef2chef.com for recipes including great desserts.

Equal and Splenda have recipe sites and you don't have to use them in the recipe, just substitute sugar or another artificial sweetener.

Hope you have a great party!

Hey, my favorite dessert is vanilla yogurt (i like the fit n light - 90 calories per serving) with blueberries, raspberries, diced peaches, sliced strawberries, and topped with a little bit of granola or something crunchy

.. I would put it into a clear class cup and layer the yogurt and fruit and then top it with the crunchy something and let your guests mix it up. At least it will look pretty

and it's pretty healthy if you dont' mind a little bit of sugar, but what's dessert without sugar??? Well hope that helped!!

I agree with daisy, thats my favorite too

You can also make a fruit tart, with a little tweaking those can be pretty healthy.

I've got an easy lemon mousse recipe that I mix with berries like a trifle - but no pound cake. It's really simple: 3/4 cup heavy cream, 3 T sugar (or sugar substitute), 1/4 lemon juice, 1 t lemon extract (optional, taste it halfway through whipping before adding this), 1 t vanilla.

Put it all together and whip it up. I like mine tart, so I've cut the sugar from the original recipe, but it can be experimented with. I layer it in goblets with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. This recipe probably makes enough for 4 if you go light on the cream layers.
