Ideas for healthy desserts?

I have been using the site for around 3 weeks now, and I feel I've been doing quite well with my calorific intake (from around 3500 down to 1600 daily), but I've sadly been depriving myself of dessert, and I miss it so bad!

I know there are options such as fruit, low fat yoghurts or 'diet brand' custards, but I'm more of a 'cake' or 'dough' girl. I'd like to make something myself that I can portion and freeze, but don't have any ideas for something yummy without busting the calorie limit!

Help?!

    I know Hungry Girl has a lot of options. She has recipes for cakes in a mug for portion control. Look up her website for ideas!

    Not sure about the freezing but these mixed berry cheesecake brownies are only about 150 cals each and despite looking quite impressive are really easy to make! http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/2642/mixed+berry+cheesecake+brownies

    Tiramisu is also really easy to make low fat with ricotta http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/2558/tiramisu

    Also pavlova or eton mess made with meringue nests can easily be low cal and have a nice crunch to them.

    have you tried the Special K cereal bars? they are only 90 cals and the are so delicious! they have all kinds too! i love the peaches and berries, chocolate pretzel, and rasberry cheesecake. but the other flavors are yummy too and they keep you on track. hope that helps. and remember that healthy eating is the goal, not starvation or deprivation. if you want your favorite dessert one day, i say have it. just eat in moderation. if you know you want that dessert that day, subtract it from you daily calorie intake and eat healthy the rest of the day. good luck! :heart:

    This is what I had last night. Was delicious!

    Cheesecake protein pancakes with cheesecake ff greek yoghurt sludge.

    440 cals with 89g protein :smile:
    11%252B-%252B1

    2 scoops vanilla protein (I use casein)
    4 egg whites
    20g "normal" pancake mix (you can do it without but this gives it much better texture)
    8g sf/ff cheesecake pudding mix
    bit of skim milk to turn to pancake consistency (usually about 1/2 cup)

    Sludge is just ff greek yoghurt with some more sf pudding mix.

    Popcorn with a little cinnamon sugar and a tiny bit of butter, coconut milk ice cream.
    Frozen creamy fruit bars from whole foods (only 60 cal and really creamy - forget the name though)

    aimeesadventures.com has GREAT recipes for dessert. She also has great main dishes, side dishes, appetizers, breads.... The nice thing about her recipes, is everyone loves them and they aren't usually expensive.
