In the season 3 episode 12 of Not My Mama's Meals, titled "Dessert Crazy," host Bobby Deen explores the world of sweet treats. Starting with a healthier spin on chocolate cake, Deen whips up a recipe that swaps out butter and oil for Greek yogurt and apple sauce, making the indulgent dessert a little less guilt-inducing.
Next up, Deen takes on a classic American treat: the donut. But instead of the usual fried version, he creates a baked donut that is just as delicious, topped with a maple glaze and bacon crumbles.
Continuing with the theme of classic desserts made healthier, Deen creates a "banana split" that swaps out ice cream for Greek yogurt and uses fresh fruit as the toppings.
But the episode isn't all about healthy desserts. Deen also indulges in some more decadent options, like a chocolate peanut butter pie made with a graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream.
To balance out the sweetness, Deen also makes a savory snack: bacon-wrapped dates filled with blue cheese.
Throughout the episode, Deen shares tips and tricks for making these desserts at home, including how to make the perfect pie crust and how to ensure that baked goods come out perfectly every time.
Overall, "Dessert Crazy" is a delicious exploration of the sweet world of desserts, with plenty of options for those who want to indulge a little and those who prefer a healthier spin on classic treats.
