Portion Controled Carrot Cake!

Laura has been a little bored with some of the Jenny Craig Desserts. Now , that we are on ‘maintenance’ , she wanted to investigate ‘portion size’ of some of her favorite fun snacks.

Laura and Karen make Amarula Carrot Cakes to die for … and they really are nothing but delicious! Obviously, they do not qualify as a ‘diet dessert’… and only marginally in the right proportion!

This did not prevent Laura from being a bit clever and squeezing 22 cup cakes out of her recipe … and believe it or not… one of her cup cakes is very consistent as a dessert item for someone on maintenance… she has promised me that she will produce a label — as she did for the Chicken Tetrazzini — outlining fat, protein, carbohydrate content and the like. Stay tuned!

In the meantime… you can see how thrilled she is to find a REAL dessert that will still help her watch her weight… oh yes, that is Cream Cheese frosting as well!
