Light Dessert Secrets from the Test Kitchen

By Laura Marzen, R.D.

Use Less Sugar

Decrease the sugar by an eighth or a fourth. When sugar isn't needed for crisping, tenderizing, or caramelizing, use a heat-stable sugar substitute such as Splenda or Sweet'N Low, or a sugar-substitute blend such as Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking.
