Dessert is unquestionably the bane of many people’s day. Many desserts are fattening, calorific and simply
unhealthy. Portion sizes are huge and it is difficult to limit yourself to only a part of what you are served –
especially if it all tastes so good. Lower fat desserts, baked goods in particular, have an equally bad reputation, as
many people believe them to be rubbery, dry, dense and flavorless.
There are many desserts that are lower in fat or in calories that still taste great, though it is true that some baked goods will be changed for the worse without butter or sugar, so don’t just leave them out when you’re cooking. Sarah, the author of Baking 911 has tons of tips and well-tested recipes for low fat baking and desserts. Diet-Blog also has a few suggestions for easy and delicious desserts.
Don’t automatically assume that you can never eat crème brûlée again if you want to have a healthier lifestyle. You can still indulge sometimes, but make healthier choices with your everyday treats. Sorbets and gelato are good alternatives to ice cream. Try having low fat milk in your hot chocolate and top it with a marshmallow, not whipped cream.
If you had the baked brie appetizer and a deep dish pizza for dinner, you should probably skip dessert. But being healthy doesn’t mean that it dessert is never an option, nor does it mean that you can’t enjoy great flavors and delicious food.
