Fasting Desserts?

So when most people fast for religious reasons, they usually deprive themselves of something for an allotted period of time. Catholics might give up eating sweets or chocolate over lent and Muslims might fast during the days of Ramadan, only eating at night. But apparently Christians in Ethiopia are allowed to indulge while fasting!

The Christians in Ethiopia are part of the Orthodox Church and there are a total of 250 fasting days every year. This is about two-thirds of the year! On fasting days, people only eat after 3PM and the church prohibits meat, fat, eggs and milk.

This must explain the fasting desserts. I was told they were made with no butter, but I also presume they were made without eggs and milk too. Are these desserts also fat free? I don't know, they sure didn't taste like it....
