As a note - when one of my dearest friends developed diabetes, his wife and I decided to do a dinner together for the 4 of us that was totally in his dietary restrictions but not tell either of the 2 guys who would say they could always tell if we 'lightened' the meal. We won that night. My friend made the appetizers and dinner and I provided the dessert. This dessert has the nutritional values at the bottom and I want everyone to realize - it doesn't taste like it has dietary restrictions. It totally fit into his diet. There was just one problem - I doubled the recipe so he could have leftovers for the next day and he ate them all in one day and never once realized it was a diabetic recipe.
Ingredients
2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons low-calorie margarine
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the sliced peaches in the bottom of an 8x8x2-inch baking pan. In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well.
Gradually blend in margarine and sprinkle mixture over peaches. Bake uncovered for 25to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

PS - if they insist on ice cream to go with this dessert - do the old Girl Scout trick and spoon 2 tablespoons of plain lo-fat yogurt on the warm serving. They will never be able to tell this was yogurt and not ice cream unless they see you dish it up.
I still to this day have my husband request this recipe.
