And now, three luscious dessert sauces for that fruit craving!

Sabayon Sauce

(makes 2 cups. 1/2 gram per Tablespoon) For sliced peaches, red
raspberries, or strawberries.

* 4 egg yolks
* 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind
* 1/2 cup dry white wine
* 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons Splenda
* 1/4 cup heavy cream

Beat egg yolks, wine, Splenda, lemon rind, and lemon juice in top of double
boiler over simmering water until mixture increases four times its original
volume. Occasionally scrape sides and bottom of pan with rubber spatula.
Place top of double boiler in bowl of crushed ice and continue to beat
until chilled. Fold whipped cream into sauce and chill until ready to use.



Rum Custard Sauce

(makes 2 cups. 1/2 gram per Tablespoon) For blueberries, sliced peaches, or
strawberries.

* 1/3 cup whole milk
* 1/2 Tablespoon real sugar
* 1 Tablespoon Splenda
* 1/2 heavy cream, whipped with artificial sweetener
* 2 Tablespoons Dark Rum
* 1/3 cup heavy cream
* 1-inch piece vanilla bean
* 2 egg yolks

Heat milk and cream with vanilla bean to just below a boil in top of a
double boiler. Discard vanilla bean. Beat egg yolks, Splenda, and sugar
until light and lemon colored. Gradually stir in whole milk and cream
mixture. Strain mixture back into double boiler and heat over simmering
water. Stir with a wooden spoon until custard thickens and coats the spoon.
Immediately set pan into cold water to stop cooking. At serving time, stir
the rum into custard and fold in whipped cream.

Note: You can use artificial rum flavor (sold with extracts) to reduce
carbs and eliminate alcohol, but it's pretty negligible anyway and the real
stuff makes it pretty good.


Gervaise Sauce

(makes 1 3/4 cups. Less than 1/2 gram per Tablespoon) For fresh fruit
compotes.

* 2 3-oz packages cream cheese
* 1 cup Sour Cream
* 1 Tablespoon Brandy
* 1 Tablespoon Splenda

Blend all ingredients until smooth and serve.
