I like to make tiny faux cheesecakes by smoothing a chocolate graham cracker with lowfat cream cheese and topping with a strawberry. You can use any graham cracker flavor, and lowfat cream cheese flavor, and a thin slice of any fruit to mimic any cheese cake you like. You can also offer a drizzle of syrup for those ladies not watching their sugar.
You could also do a fruit plate and offer a lower sugar cookie like ginger snaps or Lorna Doones.
You can make a sugar free dessert by using sugar free pie fillings or sugar free jello or sugar free pudding. I don't know if artifical sweetners are a problem for you. Personally, I don't advocate their use except on rare occasions, like a party, but that's just me. At kraftfoods.com there are loads of icebox pie desserts that could be amended with sugar free ingredients. Here's a search I did for you.
You could also make smoothies using milk, frozen fruit, nuts, and vanilla. Combine all ingredients except the fruit in the blender and blend until smooth. Then add the fruit until you get the consistancy you like. I normally do 2 cups of milk for a 16 oz bag of fruit, which makes about 4 cups of smoothie. For a dessert, I'd serve either 1/2 cup or 1 cup servings for each lady. Make sure to have straws if you make them as thick as I do.
