I was looking on a thread about falling off the wagon...which happens to me when I crave sweets!
Does anyone have simple dessert ideas that will
Keep me satisfied? Tia

    I'm pretty lazy so for dessert I usually have either a square of 90% dark chocolate with cashew butter or peanut butter on top or some Halo Top ice cream.

    Strawberries and whipped cream. Freeze for about 15m to make it cold like ice cream :). Add a couple chocolate chips or nuts for more flavor.

    If you crave sweets at night right after dinner, please look into insulin resistance. You'd be surprised how many folks feel like a meal isn't ended properly without a bite or few of sweets, etc.

    Transitioning to the darkest chocolate you can find (86% was my sweet spot for craving control and still decent taste, though the 75% range was preferable, it could still trigger cravings sometimes)...and/or make "poor man's chocolate mousse. Which is just heavy cream, vanilla (liquid or powder), sweetener to tolerance only (not to taste - as barely sweet as you can tolerate it), and cocoa powder (I prefer Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder. Can add espresso powder for a little kick, too. Whip just like whipping cream. Quantities vary by preference.
