Healthy Dessert Recipes???

[kellifromkeller]

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I'll start out in Gen. Chat!!


So the Holidays are literally right around the corner and we all know that Thanksgiving and Christmas are full of pies, cookies, and the like. There's no way I can avoid some sort of sweet if theres a 10ft long kitchen counter full of these things. So I was wondering if anyone had some healthy dessert recipes?? If I could make my own dessert that's a bit healthier and bring it, I will enjoy the holiday's much more!! I want to try to eat as clean as possible for the holidays so I don't delay my results!!! And I am not just asking for the holiday time either. Any dessert recipes are welcome (I love to make big 5 course meals, but they always turn into 4 because I can't find a decent-for-your-body dessert!)

Also, has anyone tried making a whole wheat crust for pie?? and how did it turn out?

I was going through major sweet sadness so my recipezaar cookbook is filled with the 'healthiest' highest rated desserts I could find. I have not made any of these, but they all have plenty of reviews saying they're yummy and the best nutritional content I could find.
