Default Potluck Dinner..dessert ideas

I have just been informed that I am bringing dessert for 20+ people on saturday to a big bbq (DH's work). I refuse to cook anything that isn't low carb so I could really use some suggestions:-) There are so many recipes listed above but since I have never tried any of them I don't want to make one and then fail miserably

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Default One idea - actually Karen's

I'm having a birthday dinner next Wednesday and I'm making Karen's Lowcarb Vancouver No-Bake Cheesecake. It can be presented very elegantly.

I've only made it once and thought it was so special I've been waiting for a "special"occasion for an excuse to make it again.

Smile Why cook???

What about a fresh fruit tray, with a variety of melon chunks (cantaloupe, honeydew, casaba, etc.. ) slices of kiwi, strawberries if you can find them, wedges of peach or nectarine, and a few higher carb choices for those who prefer that ... some grapes, apples, oranges, pears. Dip things in a little lemon juice to keep it fresh. Add some cheeses ... bocconcini balls, mozzerella, brick, havarti ... other mild cheeses.

Default If you go with Doreen's Idea.....

I have a great fruit dip recipe that I'm sure can be convereted to LC.

1 pack vanilla pudding (sub. SF pudding?)
1 tub cool whip (use whipping cream w/ some splenda)
2 oz Grand Marnier (SF syrop.... any flavour would do I bet)

Mix it all together. It firms up in the fridge and makes a great dip for just about any fruit you can think of. I've brought this to many family gatherings and I never take home any leftovers.

Thanks for the suggestions! The group numbers have expanded so I think I will go for the fruit platter and maybe that dip as I would end up having to make 3 cheesecakes just to serve everyone:-)

Thanks!
