    I used to blend frozen berries with low fat (low calorie) greek yoghurt to make a sorbet for less than 100 calories. Was pretty good, and you can add sweetener if you prefer it sweet.

    Decadent desserts? And considered healthy... None that meet both those qualifications in one confection.

    Decadent and healthy isn't necessarily an oxymoron. :)

    For me, it's more about portion size and frequency. Eliminating foods you love can be the short train to failure. And a lot of 'healthy' options to a favourite dessert are full of sadness. And calories. But they do come with a big dose of self-righteousness, so I guess there's that. :)

    tl;dr : I'd rather have a smaller portion of the ice cream that I love once in a while, for example, than be able to have regular servings of substitutes that pale in comparison all the time.

    I agree! And that's exactly what I do. I usually share a dessert with my hubby. We like Banana Splits. I usually try to eat most of the banana :)

    Tapioca pudding made with water+whole milk, brown sugar and/or maple syrup - decadent if you like goo that looks like frogspawn.

    These are the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies from the MFP Blog- I just took them out of the oven. They're really good, just banana, oats and chocolate chips.
    Definitly satifies a craving!

    I get this.. And I do that too on the smaller portion thing.. But in the spirit of decadent (which my mouth is watering right now) I am having trouble with creativity I guess.

    Cause usually my healthy stuff involves cooking with protein powder (cookies, donuts, etc.) which are not decadent.. still good, but not oooy gooy goodness!

    The tapioca pudding sort of turned me off and the oatmeal cookies did too.. Thanks goodness cause I saw some mouth watering "somethings" in my near future that involved chocolate chips! :)

    Healthy and decadent is doable, low calorie and decadent on the other hand...

    Chocolate avocado mousse is nutritious and has an amazing texture, but it's avocado, chocolate and banana so it's high in calories.

    "Healthy" is subjective...

    With real whipped cream or (better) Breyers vanilla bean ice cream

    Picture & recipe from Google:

    2 ripe avocados (I used Hass avocados)
    90 grams (1/3 cup minus ½ tablespoon) agave nectar*
    40 grams (1/3 cup) raw cacao powder
    2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
    ½ teaspoon almond extract

    I've made it using banana to sweeten, but then it tastes kinda like banana so agave is probably better.

    This looks so good. Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is my favorite.
