What do people think about Olive Oil Desserts?
The Lemon Laced Blueberry cookies have a nice chewy/crunchy texture and delicate lemon flavor, vary satisfying.

Your Desserts made with olive oil are absolutely scrumptious. Who needs butter?

At a recent Taste Kitchen hosted by Micki, we collected anonymous evaluations of the desserts served. Here is a small sample of what they had to say:
Are you sure there is no shortening or butter? No way!
I am never going to stop eating desserts. Especially now that I can have them a little more healthier.
30% less fat and the fat is good fat? WOW!
They are lower in fat and calories? Now I will have to eat twice as much!
The Cinnamon twisties we fluffy, light and yummy.
I couldn't even tell a difference with the Rice Crispy Treats!
(The Oatmeal Pecan Chewies) are addictive, very rich, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Loved the All American Apple Pie - Best apple pie I've ever tasted. Especially the crust! How'd you do that?
I've never been a fan of Lemon Meringue Pie, until now. It tastes gourmet! I want the book!
And a special note from a guest at the Taste Kitchen, sums it all up:
What a great idea!! I'm so glad I could come and taste those yummy desserts. I am well aware that heart disease is the #1 killer of both men and women and to be able to replace the saturated fat with monounsaturated fat is a great step in the right direction of making healthier lifestyle choices. I love sweets and they will always be a part of my life (in moderation, of course) and to know that I can have the same delicious and satisfying taste in a dessert made with a healthier fat is exciting. Wow, I'm impressed! I had no idea the potential of olive oil in making sweet treats. Thanks for showing an olive oil novice new possibilities. I can't wait to buy your book!

Thank you so much for the desserts you sent today. They were wonderful! I think the Lemon Sugar Cookie was the first one I've had that I could not taste the baking soda in. The lemon also tasted natural, not imitation. The Lemon Pie was also very nice. I liked the cinnamon in the crust, it gave it a little contrast to the tartness of the lemon. Thank you again for the opportunity to taste your desserts, I'm excited to check out your cook book. Ashley Teacher - American Fork, Utah |
Wow, what a treat. Thanks for making that luscious and gorgeous Apple Pie for the potluck. I carried a slice around to stick under people’s noses. It was so yummy. I can’t get over how wonderful the crust is, and made with olive oil. I always thought (and was lead to believe) the olive oil taste would not work for anything that wasn’t savory. So I would never have tried it for a dessert. Really yummy. I would be interested in the cookbook. Thanks for the sample. I want more! Hugs, Kallee :-} HR Manager - Lindon, Utah |
