OK, all this talk of angel-food cake and low-fat pudding makes me think of tiramisu. Although it is originally Italian, did you know that its international resurgence started in Australia?
You might be able to adapt a tiramisu using angel-foodcake. You also need some leftover espesso coffee (good coffee) which you wet the cake with, then layer it with something creamy (and preferably low-fat). Maybe whip up some low-fat cream cheese with more coffee to break it down a little. Using cake instead of sponge biscuits means you don't break the cream cheese down too much. And don't forget to sprinkle soemthing chocolatey in there somewhere. You want enough to give flavour but not enough to pile on the calories.
But for a recipe I can guarantee is healthy and tastes great - tsaziki. It's a savory cucumber-garlic-yogurt dip. Fabulous in hot weather, but we eat it any time of the year.
To make it - grate or finely chop (do NOT use a food processor!) lebanese or telegraph cucumber (peel and all). Stir through equal volume of a good Greek-style yogurt (plain). Add salt to taste, several crushed cloves of garlic (it should be strongly garlic-flavoured) and either some finely chopped dill or finely chopped mint (or both). Some also add a splash of vinegar. Traditionally served with chunks of dry bread or Turkish bread, but you can also serve it with vegetable sticks (carrot, celery) or as a side with leftover burger patties (which I freeze, incidentally, to make instant microwaved burgers as good as the originals), or meatballs, or lamb chops, or just about any meat.
Just picture yourself with a Greek mezze plate, sitting in the summer evening in the taverna under the grape vines, drinking thick Greek coffee and eating a plate of olives, chunks of feta cheese, pieces of bread or vegetable sticks with taramasalata and tsaziki. Maybe a cucumber and tomato salad to follow. Snacking sliding into dinner, but all very healthy for a diet.
