Double Lemon Cheesecake
Here is a light, reduced-calorie cheesecake. It is perfect for summer. You can make it more elegant by serving it with fresh fruit.

Better still, this one is creamier than most cheesecake and we know you will love the double lemon flavor.
Sorbet Birthday Cake
Do you want to serve a creative birthday cake made from sorbet and berries? This one doesn't need batter, baking time, frosting or hours of preparation. It is colorful - made "a la minute" (at the last minute) right at the table. We used chocolate and strawberry sorbet, fresh berries, fresh whipped fat-free cream and vanilla frozen yogurt. The whimsical candles made a nice topping.
