I love sweets but it seems like even the "healthy" deserts are really bad for me. Does Anyone have ideas or recipes for healthy sweets?

    Mixed fruit, fat free/sugar free instant vanilla pudding, and walnuts or pecans. Mix together & enjoy. It helps me get my fruit in and gives me a sweet fix. You can literally use any fruits you want. I've used canned and fresh and it's great with both.

    check out the" Frozen Peanut Butter cups" from the recipes section, its looks super yummy. I crave something sweet after dinner sometimes and those look great and low calorie!!

    I try eating healthy foods as dessert...

    I like to bake a banana for about 15 minutes drizzled with agave nectar and sprinkled with raw coconut

    I like to eat cottage cheese with sugar free strawberry glaze, tastes like strawberry shortcake

    Almond butter mixed with some greek yogurt

    This is a hungry girl recipe and its awesome :happy:

    Short 'n Sweet!
    Strawberries + pound cake + ice cream = good times. Add a little whipped cream and strawberry sauce, and you have a head-explodingly-good dessert. Check it out (and no, your cranium will not actually blow up... so no worries, people).

    Ingredients:
    1 shortcake dessert shell (like a Hostess Shortcake Dessert Cup)
    1/3 cup sliced strawberries
    1/3 cup Breyers Double Churn Free fat-free ice cream, Creamy Vanilla
    2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip
    1 tbsp. Smucker's Sugar Free Strawberry Preserves

    Directions:
    Mix the preserves with 1/2 tbsp. of hot water to make a strawberry sauce, and then set aside. Place about one-third of the sliced strawberries in the center of the shortcake. Top with the ice cream. Then, place another third of the strawberries on top of the ice cream (or if you want to be all fancy, press them into the ice cream). Drizzle the strawberry syrup over the top. Then squirt your dessert with the Reddi-wip, and top with the remaining strawberries (again, feel free to be fancy and place them prettily around the whipped topping). Enjoy! MAKES 1 SERVING

    I love brown rice cakes with 1/2 T peanut butter and a small amount (prob less than 1/2 T) Hershey's Special dark Syrup drizzled on top. It's like a healthy peanut butter cup

    for me, I just have smaller amounts of real desert with real sugar. I love dark chocolate and little bit helps. I ate chocolate everyday and lost 80 pounds. No fake stuff or only fruit for me. But I like sweets and know the real thing, there's no foolin my sweet tooth

    I was looking for this but can't find it. Can you give more specifics on where this is in the recipes board? I'm dying to check this out!
    Nevermind, just found it. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough :happy:
