5 Delicious Healthy Dessert Recipes

1. Fruit Salad

Everybody knows that fruit salad is the healthiest deserts there is. The best idea would be to simply cut the fruit and mix it together. Try to avoid high calorie fruit like bananas and you’ll be fine.

However, if you can’t satisfy your cravings for sweet with fruits only, I suggest you make a dressing for your fruit salad. Take some honey and some cinnamon and mix it together. You can add some water or some juice from canned pineapple to make it less thick and then pour that over your fruit.

In case you like yoghurt, you can also take some low fat yoghurt, mix it with some honey and pour it over your fruit salad. Try to avoid adding sugar into your fruit salad, the fruit itself has enough sugar and you really don’t need to add any extra.

Take the fruit you like, avoiding bananas and dried fruit, because of the high calorie count, and make yourself a delicious and healthy desert.

2. Currant Cakes

The best idea if you want to make a healthy and low in calories dessert is to stick to fruit desserts. However, you want something more than a fruit salad, right? Well, try making currant cakes.

You’ll need:

• 4 eggs

• 125gr of sugar

• 200ml of whipping cream

• 200gr of sour milk for cream.

Separate egg whites from egg yolks and beat the egg whites with half of the sugar into meringue. Beat the egg yolks with the rest of the sugar. Mix corn starch, flour and baking powder together and add the mixture into the egg yolks. Mix in the meringue in the end and bake the crust in oven – 20 minutes at 175C.

Soak the gelatin in cold water. Cook 150gr of currants with 3 tablespoons of water for 7 minutes. Mash it into a thick paste and leave to cool. Whip the whipping cream with sugar and add melted gelatin, currant paste and fresh currant. Pour everything over the crust and leave overnight in the refrigerator. Decorate with some fresh currants.

Mash unfrozen raspberries to make a thick paste. Take the lemon schnite out of the mold and cut into pieces. Pour some raspberry paste over each peace and decorate with fresh raspberries.

4. Cheese, Fruit and Coconut Cake

This is a delicious cake and it is very easy to make it. I was surprised when I first made it how much I liked it.

Soak the gelatin sheets. Wash the lemon and squeeze the juice out of it and mix it with cream cheese. Add powdered sugar. Melt the gelatin and mix it with the cream cheese. Whip the whipping cream and add it into the mixture. Mix the fruits in, but leave 5 tablespoons of fruit for decoration. Pour the mixture over the crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Decorate with leftovers of the fruit, fresh mint leaves and ground coconut. Delicious!

5. Peach Trifle With Raspberries

Peach trifle is a fruit pleasure you’ll love. It is absolutely delicious and lower in calories than some other desserts you might like. It’s also very healthy, there are only 70 calories in a large peach, and they are a great source of fibers and vitamins A and C.

To make peach trifle, you’ll need:

• 2 big peaches
• 2 tablespoon of honey
• 400gr of sour cream
• 8 ladyfingers
• 4 tablespoons of raspberries
• 1 tablespoon of almond slices

Cut the peaches into cubes. If you don’t like the skin, you can remove it, but you should know that most of the vitamins are in the skin, so it’s better to leave it.

Mix the honey with the sour cream. Wash the raspberries. Take a decorative see-through dessert bowl and put the ladyfingers in the bottom, then put a layer of peaches and over it a layer of sour cream and honey cream. Repeat until you run out of ingredients and decorate with fresh raspberries and almond slices.

When you want a healthy dessert, it’s best to stick with fruit. It’s both healthy and low in calories. Nuts are also very healthy for you, but they are richer in calories, so put just a little of them on your desserts. Try out these recipes we’ve given you and make 5 delicious healthy desserts.
